"abstractheory" gorgeous Kyle Orton Broncos gamer! Really super looking helmet. The Broncos have one of my favorite color schemes and style to their helmets with their horse head logo.

Let's get posting gamers again too, on the "Show me your Game Used NFL Helmet" list.

I'm guilty of doing a quick post on this one….so next lid I'll post will be on the other list.

"With JOSports gone…no one seems the be getting game worn gamers in the volume and variety of teams Jarrod did."

I hear that! Very sad.

Although JO received a lot of 2009 AFL "Legacy" helmets from the Broncos, they were only able to secure two lids afterward. 2011 Orton (which I snagged) and 2011 Brandon Lloyd's. JO's last Hurrah with the Broncos.

Hopefully Panini might start getting lids, but that, unfortunately, only helps Broncos collectors out.

Sorry Dallas fans for the following pics.

Michael, great acquisition of the 2010 Dexter McCluster. A fine Kansas City gamer and nice photo match to boot.

With JOSports gone…no one seems the be getting game worn gamers in the volume and variety of teams Jarrod did. Meigray has some…like a few Jets they purchased and the Redskins throwbacks, plus the Eagles throwbacks but no significant volume appears to be available. NFL Auctions has had a few and I hope they keep selling some from time to time.

Very nice helmet, Michael. I miss having a place that sold GU helmets too.

Dexter McCluster 2010 rookie game used helmet (Chiefs/JO COA)
McCluster reminds me somewhat of my favorite player growing up, Dave Meggett (same DM initials, #22, returners, pass catchers, small size, etc). This helmet was used during his rookie season and appears to be last used in the playoff loss to the Ravens 1/9/11. There is a paint chip present seen on the game photo also able to be seen on the helmet currently. Chinstrap is present on the helmet with McClusters #22 present on the strap. McCluster made his first Pro Bowl this year as a punt returner.

No, was outbid on the auction but Meigray was awesome working with me on the Jets. I have an Eric Smith Jets so would rather of had the Giants but hopefully one will pop up again! I think there are several out there unless the same one keeps floating. To be honest I was a bit surprised at the price but I will keep looking!

Congrats Jason! Were you able to pick up the NYG Plaxico as well?

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Here's another shot which IMHO rules out the NFL Auction jersey being worn for pre-game or 1st half of the 2013 Panthers game.

Pre-game:


NFL Auctions Jersey:


Look on the bottom of the back, white '11' digits. There's a seam on the jersey itself, which runs underneath the sewn-on digits on the back. You can see the indentation of that seam on the back numbers.

Locate the seam on each picture. In the pre game picture, that seam looks to be ~ 1/4" from the bottom of the back digits, on the NFL Auctions jersey, that seam looks to be ~1" from the bottom of the digits.

Still no reply from NFL Auctions - shocker!

I think he was only a four year captain in 2012. No gold "C" that year.

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Any chance the black Fitzgerald jersey currently on NFL Auctions could be from 2012 and was just mislabeled as a 2013 or does someone already own his 2012 BCA jersey? They wore the same black jerseys vs the Bills on Oct 14th.

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

Hey there JDubbs73. Everyone is free to have an opinion and I did not take offense at all. Here is the 1st photo that I posted about this situation.... Both halves of the game are accounted for......

I did see that earlier. FWIW, I took a quick look through some of the game footage on Game Rewind. Fitzgerald does appear to end both halves in your jersey, based on what I can see anyway. It would be helpful if the entire front "11" was visible on the NFL Auction jersey.

I'm still thrown a bit by the apparent loose thread on the "C" patch (which resembles the one currently being auctioned). It is easy to spot on his jersey prior to kickoff, but not later in the game. Obviously, multiple jerseys would benefit the NFL's charitable efforts. But I'm not certain that is the case here though.

Would be nice to hear the explanation from NFL Auctions. Did Fitzgerald indicate whether or not he wore more than one jersey when you acquired it? And as I mentioned before, it's one heck of a pick up on your part. All the best!

Re: Show Me your NFL stuff

VAC, I believe you have a fantastic LF jersey with a conclusive photo match. And based upon what you have written here, you also have impeccable provenance.

I'm not challenging that and I'm not trying to offend you. I was just responding to another member's concern about a jersey he (and you) bid on. My only point was that he could have started the game with a different jersey than he ended it with.

I agree that yours is on his back when the game ended. I'm not as certain that it was when the game started. That's all. Cheers!
