I started creating YouTube videos about my game-used jerseys. There are very few YouTube channels dedicated to collecting game-used jerseys and I hope to change that. Give me a look and a follow if you’re interested!

Last week I posted three game-used XFL jerseys I purchased from an eBay seller who was having a blowout sale. Well, I went back to that well for five more. Here they are:

Damon “D. Gib” Gibson, Los Angeles Xtreme

• One of the few XFL players who logged NFL games before and after playing in the XFL, Gibson wore this jersey in the Million Dollar Game (championship). This is the fourth LA Xtreme Million Dollar Game jersey in my collection.

• Photomatch: Championship Game vs SF Demons, Getty Image 581633

Tydus Winans, San Francisco Demons

• Wide receiver who was drafted by the Redskins in 1994. He wore this jersey in the Million Dollar Game, which turned out to be the last pro game of his career.

• Photomatch: Championship Game vs LA Xtreme, Getty Image 581427

Troy Saunders, Chicago Enforcers

• Defensive back who wore this jersey in the XFL’s opening night ‘B’ game, during which he won the ‘scramble for the ball’ at the start of the game.

• Photomatch: Week 1 at Orlando Rage, broadcast footage of ball scramble

Rafael Cooper, Memphis Maniax

• Running back who made it into the NFL for the Lions after the XFL season. He wore this jersey during a ‘scramble for the ball’ against Troy Saunders, who was very likely wearing the same jersey I noted above.

• Photomatch: Week 6 vs Chicago Enforcers, broadcast footage at 0:48 remaining in the first quarter

Shannon Culver, Orlando Rage

• Wide receiver and punt return specialist.

• Photomatch: Week 8 vs NY/NJ Hitmen, broadcast footage at 7:56 remaining in second quarter

Today I received the last Public Enemy sealed vinyl I’ve been searching for, and that’s the 1989 banger “Fight The Power”. Kind of fitting because this song is the one that first got me into PE a couple years ago.

Nobody could accurately calculate the current population of sealed copies of this record, but I’m guessing the count is relatively low because this is the only sealed copy I’ve seen posted to eBay or Discogs in 2 years.

A timeless piece of art such as this deserves to be catalogued and preserved for history, and that’s why I’ll be sending it to VMG for grading.

I have a strange obsession with the 2001 XFL season. I remember tuning in like millions of Americans and watching the season openers. The hype, the nameplates, and the cool logos give me nostalgia.

An eBay seller has dozens of XFL game jerseys listed, and they recently dropped the prices to an amount I couldn’t pass on. I added these three game-used XFL jerseys to my growing collection:

Latario Rachal, Los Angeles Xtreme

• Why I bought it: Rachal wore this in the Million Dollar Game (XFL championship), scoring a touchdown in the contest. I now own 4 jerseys worn in that game.

• Photomatch: Getty Image 581494

Junior Lord, Chicago Enforcers

• Why I bought it: Great jersey design and this was worn in a playoff game.

• Photomatch: Getty Image 513064

Kory Blackwell, Las Vegas Outlaws

• Why I bought it: Blackwell potentially wore this jersey in the XFL’s opening game, and during player introductions he told his wife that “she completed him”. A stark contrast to “They hate me, baby!”

• Photomatch: No definitive, but hit marks and paint transfers indicate game use.

My buying spree is ongoing. Stay tuned for more…

The entire premise of mid-‘90s Pinnacle seemed to be a dedicated attempt to put as many absurd cards into rotation as possible. And I love them all.
