Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

The games above are:
11-13-1994 vs Miami Dolphins
11-20-1994 vs Detroit Lions
12-18-1994 vs Los Angeles Rams
12-24-1994 vs New England Patriots

So with this information in hand, it's odd to me that the Legendary's shirt shows so much use when it's possibly been only worn in 1 or 2 games.
Legendary's shirt could not have been used in 1993 since the tag is dated 1994 and 1993 had heart pressed numbers and I didn't see him wearing a patched jersey during the 1995 season...

It is possible that the jersey was worn in 1995 and the patch is re-attached though...

Just my observations...

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

Hopefully with all of the last 50 pages or so behind, I wanted to get back on track of making this an informative Bears thread...

I recently acquired a 1994 Donnell Woolford 75th anniversary patched home jersey and wanted to do some digging since a similar shirt sold through Legendary Auctions on 5/31/2012. I Googled Donnell Woolford and all pictures of him from 1994 in home jersey style match the one Legendary sold. The main identifier is the Champion logo on the sleeve. Legendary's jersey has in in front of the sleeve number and the jersey I have has it above the numbers.

I went through some of my archives and discovered that Donnell only wore the logo in front of numbers style shirt in 1 game for sure (10/9/1994) and possibly the 10/2/1994 game. The reason I say possibly is that I can't find a video or a picture from the Buffalo Bills game.

The rest of the home games (4) with navy jerseys are style matched to what I have with the Champion logo above the numbers:

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

Yes I also seen this Jersey on eBay and was considering taking a run at it but noticed the lack of use it had for a urlacher gamer... you would think you would see atleast a scratch of some kind but who am I to say. Even if it was washed you would see puckering and scrapes and snags of sorts.... don't think you can list this as used though but lets see what the jury thinks. Can you post pics pale? I'm glad I didn't drop 1k on this but I did notice the seller and decided to pass.

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

been nothing but a lotta OVERpriced trash on eBay as of late... there is a throwback there that someone obviously got hosed on by the JO prices from the day,, and his hope is to net 40% above that... in reality prob worth 40% below or more than JO price,,, unless its a good solid A star..good luck

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

Slightly OT, but Im not having any luck......are any Meriweather Bears jersey's still floating around?

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

Sadly NFL Auctions is the primary way to get the gamers from the Bears.
Last year, Hunt Auctions sold a few as well.

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

So where does everyone get their Bears jerseys from now? Im newer to the GU hobby, been collecting Cubs game used for the last few years.

I know the Bears used to have a deal with JO Sports, but looks like that ended over a year ago. Is there anyone else that has a deal with the Bears?

I've been looking all year and the only thing I've seen come up is the current Cutler gamer on NFL auctions.

Thanks for any help.

I wish people would post the knowledge gained from people in the know but then again, that information could be used to make fakes...

Exactly why he doesn't...

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

...
He says that this helmet would be from late in his career due to the front bumper style. The original claim was that this helmet was worn his entire career. He says that is BS. He knows of at least 3 others that exist, including the one in the HOF, and there were more than that. That again is to not say that this helmet is not a game worn helmet of Paytons.

The biggest flag according to him is the magic marker "34" written in the webbing of the helmet (photo attached). He says they NEVER did that. The equipment manager had specific instructions. He told me why but I'll not get into that here. He says the way that he was instructed to mark the player number on the helmet was, they use a piece of red tape with the player number written on it and underlined. He described the tape as duct tape like. This was always place on the helmet shell so not to be in contact with the players head. ...

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

Either way reasonable for paytons ONLY helmet. Although I was watching NFL network which had a closeup of his helmet and looked like and additional small hole near the ear hole on the right side which wasn't in the picture. I def could be wrong.

Final price?

According to another game used site's member (who I believe is still on this site as well), this isn't Payton's only helmet. Here is his post: "I wanted to relay a discussion I had with the equipment assistant for the Chicago Bears during Paytons career and into the 90's. His main job was helmet maintenance. I will say right here that he is the most knowledgeable helmet guy I have ever known personally, and an absolute expert on the Bears helmets. I am not questioning the Payton family here just relaying what I believe are facts.

If anyone has photo matched this helmet I would be interested in hearing from you."

Regardless, it is an amazing piece of history!!!

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

Whaaat? This is insane. I've have a couple very collectible items. Just about hall of fame worthy that they have contacted me about cosigning.
Perhaps others should come out with what they are owed to at least protect others.

Also with any experiences with shilling or questionable activity.
