Current Peyton Manning GU Jerseys- A Comparison

Re: Current Peyton Manning GU Jerseys- A Comparison

Here is another...not a football jersey expert by any means, but based on the price...it can't be the real thing. Also word for word (part about the body odor etc...) is listed by Eric in one of his first posts so it has resurfaced again.

Sleeves are too short, and I want someone to explain to me how a home jersey worn on artificial turf gets "dirt" on it.

Re: Current Peyton Manning GU Jerseys- A Comparison

yet another...

Has anyone ever dealt w/ this seller? It seems every jersey he has grades none higher than a MEARS A5????

The cert is not yet in the MEARS database. Not sure how you can certify that it's an Event Worn item if as in the mears letter photo there is no provenence.

My favorite line from the auction- "Those who have smelled Manning after the games you know what he smells like."

Re: Current Peyton Manning GU Jerseys- A Comparison

i found those event pics interesting. so it seems manning had those short-sleeved jerseys made up for little parties, car dealership openings, etc. no wonder so many of them have turned up. the colts may have made a lot of them for manning's promo purposes. not sure why a promo jersey garners an A5 but i've never understood those grades.

anyway, another manning gem:

this one comes with a cert from the colts. of course it's just a generic cert which may have originally been issued to another jersey and is now being used to try to sell this short-sleeved manning. check out the "M" in manning on the back. nutty!

Re: Current Peyton Manning GU Jerseys- A Comparison

I emailed this seller and ask if he was the original owner of the 2002 Manning Jersey and if that was the certificate that came with it. His reply was: Yes. Nothing else.

I emailed him back and ask: You are telling me that you bought the Manning jersey directly from the Colts and that is the certificate they sent with that jersey. His reply: Yes. I have a letter with the Vick from PSI but I cannot find it. You can see the hologram in the picture.

I have bought a couple of common player jerseys from the Colts and that is the type cert that came with them. There is no way they sold a Peyton Manning jersey with that certificate. Also in reveiwing pictures the M is different than any I can find in game photos. Placement of the patch seem different that all the photos also.

Re: Current Peyton Manning GU Jerseys- A Comparison

When I first seen the listing, what caught my eye first is the card has no mention of it representing Peyton Manning game used jersey.

another short-sleeved manning with team loa:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160202892041

awhile, someone on the forum posted pics of manning at some team cocktail party charity function and he was wearing a short-sleeved jersey. maybe manning prefers long sleeves for throwing passes and short sleeves for throwing back appletinis. anyway, if the colts did indeed make some of these jerseys up for promo purposes, then perhaps they accidentally got mixed up with his gamers when it came time to sell.

I messaged the seller to tell him that the jersey was never game worn by Manning, citing the sleeves, and referring him to this thread. Prob with the generic Colts COA is it doesn't even ID the jersey or player, it almost certainly came with a cheap no name player jersey then was attached to the Manning knockoff jersey. Seller responded he knew about the sleeve issue but referred to the fact it had been passed by Mears. However, when asked, he admitted the Mears grade was a lowly A5.
