NFL AUCTIONS - Game Used

Re: NFL AUCTIONS - Game Used

I actually saw Thigpen on the sidelines Sunday night. He was in uniform, I remember thinking if the Dolphins auction the orange jerseys again, maybe I can afford the Thigpen!

I believe the 3rd QB always wears a uniform because and guys correct me if I am wrong but can't the 3rd QB only play if the other two QBs get injured and are unable to play? So if Henne and Pennington both got hurt then even though he was listed as inactive wouldn't Thigpen have been able to come in as the QB? The Jets listed Clemens as inactive also that day so this is what I think explains it. Normally I don't see why an inactive player would dress or even if they would let him dress as at other positions I believe if your listed as inactive you can't play no matter what.

Re: NFL AUCTIONS - Game Used

If he was in pads and standing on a sideline for a game then I would consider it "Game Used". If he did not dress but wore it on the sideline, then I would call it "Game Issued".

I think, when you start asking the question, does wearing a jersey for a backup qb make it game worn, it opens a can of worms...

What about a kicker who kickoffs and kicks the ball for a touchback and never steps foot back on the field because his team gets shut out...does that really count as well?

Too many questions and what if's...keep it simple...If the player is in pads, then the jersey in "Game Used".

One play counts as GU to me. As another example how about a QB who in a blowout comes in just to kneel down? The recordkeepers will count it as a game played in either scenario which is what I think one has to go by. After all one play can be huge. Lets say guy only returns kicks and he returns the opening kickoff for a TD and then neither team scores the rest of the game and he never steps foot on the field again that day.

Re: NFL AUCTIONS - Game Used

Let me ask your opinion on this...Would you consider the Pennington jersey "game worn", even though he stood on the sidelines wearing a baseball cap? Personally, I would put both of them in the same category of "game issued". But I guess some would argue that just because you don't get into the game, doesn't mean it isn't game worn.

Jon, I know you did not ask me but I agree with your opinion. To me game used requires actually being in the game. Otherwise what is the difference between Thigpen or another 3rd string QB standing there in a jersey and a fan standing in his seat in a jersey? Both have nothing to do with what is happening in the game.

"Jared Odrick Autographed Orange Dolphins jersey. From Sept 12 game against the NY Jets but player was injured and did not play."

they are not stating it is game worn ; i think they aer ebeing honest. it is a team issued jersey.

Yeah my bad I saw it fast.

Re: NFL AUCTIONS - Game Used

I can agree, if pads were worn, I would call it "Game Used" ir "Game Worn". Personally as long as the player wears it, I really don't care. I'm not big on purchasing "issued" jerseys because I like them to be worn. I'd buy an issued jersey to get it signed. Thats it.

The Crowder was never worn. He never even dressed for it.

Re: NFL AUCTIONS - Game Used

I can't stand that they always have them auto'd. I would love to have one of them though. I suppose if I ever get one I'll have to deal with it being signed. I have only one problem with one of them. The Crowder was never worn. He never even dressed for it.

I noticed that on a couple of them, Thigpen and Odrick were also inactive yet their "gamers" are being auctioned. They even a pic of Odrick with a huge grin signing his.

Re: NFL AUCTIONS - Game Used

Yea, I had the AP jersey up until the last few mins, but actually was glad someone outbid me because on 2nd thought I really wasn't all into his pre-season one. Although his jerseys are always mostly hammered, esp on the front numbers from him carrying the ball. It would've had some nice use on the front and photomatch perfectly, but it was probably good I didn't pursue it more.
The same guy won a couple of the Saints jerseys too. Started to wonder if it was our NBA "friend" jtnbafan again for football LOL

Yeah never been a fan of preseason stuff, especially since the stars barely play in the games and since the games don't count to me it limits their value and the wow factor. If it was really cheap I could see the allure but at a high price like that one one's better off saving for a regular season one. JO has them every year so plenty are on the market.
