Can you e-mail me some pics? I can't authenticate, but I may be able to help!

Likewise, Jim, I can't do a full authentication from photos, but would be willing to look at pics to at least get the ball rolling.

My responses are slow, as my PC is currently off-site, being updated, but I'll get to it as quickly as my limited library availability allows.

Thanks guys for all the responses - photos below of the first one - a Marino - trying to figure out if it's from 1989 - or from 1991 or maybe 1992?

Jersey has original receipt from Miami Dolphins charity auction - that says " game worn - 1990's", There is not a date on the receipt. The jersey shows really nice use - The size is 48 and behind the 48 tag is another tag that says "CR" - so two tags in total......The"CR" is the factory tag??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks! Jim

Guys - would the Wilson code "CR" stand for 1990 - September?

If the code is correct, didn't the Dolphins wear a 25th Anniversary patch in 1990 and the JR memorial armband? Two set tags attached to the Prestige tag would be right.

Yes - just had another Forum member e-mail me that it was made in 1990 - he was unsure of month. They did wear a patch in 90 and I'm thinking this was worn in 91?

[cohibasmoker]

Jim - found some scans for you. They are in order, 1989, 90, 91, 92 and 1993.

Great pics - thanks - gotta be from 1989 then? Does that make sense with "CR" code? Thoughts?

Jim - On the right sleeve, is there a outline where the JR patch may have been?

Jim - If the code is correct, how can the jersey be worn a year BEFORE it was made?

[JimCaravello]

I just don't see any remnants of the front patch or the armband.......

Were these patches worn all season?

The JR patches were worn for quite a few years and I am NOT sure what year they stopped wearing the patch. I would like to add that Marino really trimmed the sleeve ends on his jerseys so the possibility exists that a patch was NOT sewn on some of his jerseys.

OK - so I found these two jerseys in past AMI auctions. The first is an Elway which was listed and sold as a 1989 - 1990 jersey - this particular jersey has a "CO" code. ....

The second jersey is a Curt Warner jersey from 1989 with a "BV" code....

Is it possible to that the "C" code was also used in 1989 - as is indicated in the Elway listing??

Jim,

One of the challenges with Marino jerseys is the amount of "game issued" shirts.Even if all the tagging,etc. is correct,it is impossible imo to determine game use/wear especially since he was rarely sacked.Photo match would be very challenging.In addition he would wear 2 jerseys per game.Happy Holidays.

I knew a guy who worked for the dolphins and have seen many marino gamers. I can tell you that for most of his career Marino would have the underside of his sleeves cut...each year it would be done a slightly different way by the equipment manager....It appears as though the sleeves are not cut from the photos.....are they? if so can you post a picture?
