Jersey
This one really gnaws at me as I had it my hands and perhaps let it get away. I’ll explain - a Dallas Cowboy’s jersey that I bought for $5 at a second hand shop that was 1970’s vintage and crested and numbered for Roger Staubach.
It had lots of dirt staining and I assumed it was a well worn replica. Especially, as it was a Russell brand jersey and not a Southland brand (which I assumed was the defacto manufacturing company for Cowboy’s game jerseys.)
I hand’t seen a Staubach replica (this predates the throwback jersey craze) and thought it may have some value for a fan to wear and/or get autographed. I listed in on EBay for $19.99 and rec’d zero bids. Then was approached buy an ebayer offering me $500 for it! I explained that it couldn’t be a gamer, but he didn’t back down and we transacted for it.
I did OK of course, but if it could have been a possible gamer it may have been worth many multiples of that $500.
I’m afraid to ask, but could this have been a gamer?
