Re: Marcus Allen Game Used in Paragon Auctions

I was at the Raiders vs. Bengals game in 1992. Marcus Allen wore a black Starter jersey as I took pictures of him when I sat behind the Raider's bench. All my snapshots show Starter emblems on both sides of his jersey and the team's too. Also I'm not certain if he still does, but he did have a lot of his personal game worn items and trophies on display at a casino sports display in Las Vegas, Nevada. One being his 1992 black starter jersey. If I remember right the feud between him and Al Davis kept his playing time limited so I wonder how many black jerseys we actually wore and how much wear was accumulated on them. A lot of bogus Allen jerseys are out there and so are his USC game worn jerseys. If you check the numerical font on the USC jersey, the front numbers should show equal length in the inside of the number 3, while auction sites have been selling game worn Trojans jerseys with the lower part of the number 3 with larger spacing than the top part. I only saw one being sold that had equal spacing inside the numbers. Guess you still have to do your homework before buying. I have been looking for years for a real game worn Raiders jersey.

Re: Marcus Allen Game Used in Paragon Auctions

JOHNW67 can you post any pics of the Marcus Allen Raiders jersey you have, esp. the tagging? I have a DVD of most Raiders games highlights from 1992 and it shows Starter jerseys for regular season. I did not see any Wilson. BUT, I see what you are saying because I found some photos of Marcus Allen standing by Eric Dickerson and several other players wearing Wilson jerseys in 1992 preseason and Allen's has the Wilson emblem blacked out with a black marker. You can clearly see the logo on the sleeve. And Dickerson's only season with the Raiders was 1992. You tagging gives the clue to the year date.
