As detailed in an article on our website (see "Unique" Elway Jerseys Abound (5/8/05)" at http://endzone.pscoggin.com/newsarch.htm), Lampson had "authenticated" (for lack of a better term) at least two (unique as identified by differing autos) if not 3 of this exact same style of Elway jersey for American Memorabilia's auctions between 2002 and 2005. As these were all sized 48, the appearance of the one sized at 46 would for sure make for at least 3 "unique" specimens and possibly as many as 5. To account for up to five, this would presume that the unautographed jersey in 2002 was not subsequently autographed and then re-sold in 2004 or '05 and that the current unautographed size 48 is again not the same one previously offered. To Lou's VA's credit, they at least got the description down right, noting that this was for "single game use", whereas AMIs description noted that this style was "used for only a few games". The ONLY game in which this style was worn by the Broncos was on 9/26/94 at Buffalo.
Also noted in the above referenced article is that Grey Flannel has seperately authenticated three different jerseys of this style in sizes 44, 46 and 48. Additionally, the Pro Football Hall of Fame also lays claim to having this jersey within their collection, it having been donated to them by the team/player. HOF Rep Jason Aikens confirmed that their jersey is also the white, road jersey in a size 44.
