The Elway that Historic auctioned off came from me via the Hinek collection last year and was sold to Fleer at the time to be chopped up then was eventually sold at the Fleer bankruptcy auction among thousands of other game used jerseys, etc many of which were consigned to Historic Auctions.

Where is the Elway jersey? I think the point of this thread is becoming not if the Elway jerseys are authentic or not but why Bernie feels the need to lie to cover up for himself.

It is very clear that you are a newbie collector. That is ok. I'll gladly walk you through this. Let me explain how it works when a team goes into a transition stage with the jersey manufacturer. When teams went from Puma to Reebok (good example the Rams), or Starter to Puma (good example the Vikings), Nike to Reebok (Jets, Giants, Ravens, etc) the team will sew the new jersey manufacturer logo (usually a rectangle shaped box) over the old manufacturer logo so that the teams may wear it for the following season(s). This was common for almost every team from 1999-2002. This is something known by even the common novice football collector. Hope that clears up some confusion for you.
I do agree with some that Bernie does get "picked on" and at times unfairly since its always like 3 people against 1 but Bernie does put himself out there by putting questionable items out on the market (Ebay out of all places) and then replying against those who accuse him with sarcasm and an overall condescending attitude instead of straight facts or just admitting to an oversight or mistake. Everyone makes mistakes and Bernie should be allowed to also, but Bernie should not call people ignorant or bottomfeeders just because they don't know as much as he does.

Just my 2 cents
