I Collect Bengals Game Used Jerseys, Helmets, etc.

[dplettn]

I am a collector of Cincinnati Bengals Game Used Equipment, primarily jerseys and helmets.

I wanted to create a thread that showcases some spectacular Bengals game used memorabilia -- and no, not just from one family's collection. I personally would love to see unique items I haven’t seen before from prideful collectors. If your items are for sale, use e-mail (plettner at fuse dot net).

I buy special items when I can. But please do not abuse the proper etiquette of this forum and post on the thread merely to draw attention to items you plan to sell. All items posted here by me are posted only with the express consent of their owners, with equal discretion to their owners taste, and are not for sale.

Here is the jersey rookie Giovani Bernard wore on Halloween 2013 when he performed plentiful tricks and accomplished two rushing TD treats. The later is already being heralded as "Touchdown of the Year". Here are videos of TDs 1 (http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000274487/Bernard-3-yard-touchdown) and 2 (http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000274490/WK-9-Can-t-Miss-play-Put-it-in-reverse). Also see this funny recreation (http://www.nfl.com/videos/cincinnati-bengals/0ap2000000274735/TECMO-Bernard-35-yard-TD).

The TDs were Gio's 3rd and 4th career rushing TDs (5th and 6th overall).

He signed and inscribed the jersey eight days later. Much like the run, the signature was a process. First going over the autograph a 2nd time. Then later, writing over his own inscription. A perfect gentleman all the while.

Justin Smith Game-Used Jersey.
It's trashed with rips, holes and facemask transfers.
I have a positive photo match of the 2 holes on the back against the Browns.
I suspect he wore his in 3 different games in 2005.
Yellow face mask transfers from Washington and black ones from Phili.

Here is AJ Green's jersey worn one year ago today, Veterans Day 2012.

The Bengals brought a four game losing streak into their game against the defending Super Bowl Champions and started a dramatic turnaround. They whipped the favored Giants 31-13 and rode a 7-1 record through the later half of their season to the playoffs... the 2nd consecutive berth behind Dalton and Green.

This appearance was also the 8th of 9 consecutive 2012 games in which AJ Green scored a receiving touchdown, a Bengals record. 2012 marked AJ's second Pro Bowl and first All Pro recognition.

Calling this "at least Five-Quarters of a Geno Atkins Gamer" would not be intended to portray missing or extra material... Rather, my research suggests this is probably the jersey that was damaged and repaired from the 2011 game at Baltimore and then ripped from his body early in the 2nd quarter at Pittsburgh. Between the war stories it appears to tell and resulting indication it was on Geno when he sacked Joe Flacco, the jersey is a sight to behold.

2011 was Geno's first Pro Bowl. He was also voted 1st Team All-NFL by Pro Football Focus, but was not heralded with his first "All Pro" designation by the Associated Press until the following season.

If you ever want to move the white Justin Smith, I'd love to pair it with my black one.

Cool stuff....one of my favorite items I have in my collection is a team issued Boomer Esiason away jersey (new uni style)...a very unique item as Boomer did not wear that uniform as a member of the Bengals. I am a JETS fan and collector primarily but also a big Esiason fan as well. I have his JETS away and home game jerseys as well as the Bengals. My only wish is that it was a home black jersey instead of away white but regardless a nice jersey and one of my favorite items.....

Anybody have a Brandon Bennett jersey for sale/trade? He played for the Bengals from 1998-2003.

I'd really like to encourage comfort that people share photos of high end Bengal Game Used Memorabilia. I always welcome e-mail to: plettner at fuse.net from those who are open to selling or trading their items. Also, anybody who is interested to anonymously share their items with other hobby enthusiasts is welcome to e-mail me to have it posted anonymously.

The jerseys below are being posted by me with anonymity to the owner of each. Without further ado... here is for the further of those already enjoying this thread:


The Big 4 Cincinnati Bengal Quarterbacks:
Ken Anderson
Boomer Esiason
Carson Palmer
Andy Dalton

[dplettn]

Ken Anderson played his entire career as a Cincinnati Bengal is generally believed by Bengal fans to be an absurd snuff (http://thebiglead.com/2012/06/21/ken-anderson-still-waiting-for-the-hall-of-fame-but-he-should-have-been-in-long-ago/) from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Anderson lead the Bengals to their 1st Super Bowl (SBXVI), besting Dan Fouts and the Chargers 27-7 in the AFC Championship "Freezer Bowl" along the way. The jersey has been photographed for and posted for its owner who requests anonymity.

Boomer Esiason's charisma may have endeared him even more with Cincinnati than leading the Bengals to another Super Bowl (SB XXIII). One of the unique things about this gamer is that the alteration tags have handwriting on them, in the same penmanship as I've also seen on jerseys of common players. This jersey was photographed for and posted for its owner, who requests anonymity.

The jersey below was used to raise money benefitting Breast Cancer Awareness on NFL Auctions after Carson Palmer wore it while throwing his 132nd and 133rd career and Cincinnati Bengals TDs. A small part of the legacy of our forum's own Jeff Ciffolillo (Mulligans).

Love all the great Bengals items, let's see more !!

[Jags Fan Dan]

Submitted for your disapproval is the only Bengals jersey I've ever owned to this point. Sure to bring back pleasant memories for Bengals fans, this is likely the jersey that Kijana Carter was wearing when he blew out his knee during the 1995 pre-season. I no longer own the jersey, sold it shortly after acquiring it, as I just wasn't sure I wanted that particular jersey in my house and around me and my family. And you know, even after selling it, I sometimes get this unexplainable pain in my knees...

[dplettn]

The Jersey Below was obviously not washed after one of Andy Dalton's biggest career games so far, a road win over RGIII's Redskins. This game was part of the critical stretch that earned Dalton the Captain's Patch.

For the 2nd consecutive year (beginning with his rookie season) Andy Dalton lead the Cincinnati Bengals to the Playoffs in 2012.

I truly appreciated and respected Ken Anderson. I remember watching him play as a kid. Cheered the Bengals on their SB run that year. Thanks for posting...and congrats to its owner!

Been a great week for my newly started Bengals collection...
Punter Kevin Huber's 2009 Under Armour Senior Bowl GU Jersey

[rchimes13@yahoo.com]

Andy Dalton 2013 GU jersey from Baltimore Ravens game on November 10th. A tough Bengals loss, but Dalton threw an amazing 51 yard Hail Mary to AJ Green to send game into OT.

[rchimes13@yahoo.com]

And the other end of the 51 yd Hail Mary..2013 AJ Green GU jersey from Ravens game. Green finished the day with 8 catches for 151 yds. and the TD.

[michaellechner]

Love your AJ gamer! That thing is sweet. Would love to have one of his jerseys one day.

[rchimes13@yahoo.com]

2013 Pro Bowl jersey worn by AJ Green during AFC Media Day which included a walk-thru practice and team photo shoots. Not as good as actual game jersey, but next best thing considering his monster game (7 rec 119 yds 3 tds).

[rchimes13@yahoo.com]

Grabbed a couple amazing jerseys from the 12/8/13 win over the Colts...
Gio Bernard rushed for 99 yds. (career high) and 49 yds. receiving. Shirt shows nice use (not easily seen in my pics sorry).

[rchimes13@yahoo.com]

Also, the AJ Green gamer from 12/8 Colts victory as well. Caught his 8th TD of 2013 and 26th of young career on a beautiful ball from QB Andy Dalton. Nice use on this one as well!
