Yep....I checked Getty for the entire 1992 season....it was all Starter. Further, the date code means the jersey was manufactured in 1992... Making it impossible it was worn by Marcus. Once again, too good to be true.

So it cannot be a 1991 and in 1993 he played for KC.

It's funny or sad (depending how you look at it) how a couple of guys on a message board can figure it out in a couple minutes but an auction company by the looks of it didn't bother to do much if any research except fluff up the jersey with meaningless info.

I agree. I was hoping that it was a 1991 jersey that was simply thought to be a 92....but the date code, unless I'm mistaken, eliminates that possibility.

I thought the Raiders wore Starter back in 1992 ?

Any thoughts on this? I know Marcus and just called him moments ago and sent him the link. I am looking forward to his opinion on the authenticity.
