In my latest video I explain how a Detroit Lions jersey was worn for a whole season by Glyn Milburn 3 years after it was made.

I recently acquired this 1995 Detroit Lions jersey worn by defensive back Willie Clay in 10 games.

It has some crazy mileage.

While wearing this jersey, Clay tackled Jerry Rice, Henry Ellard, Cris Carter, Ricky Watters, and Brett Favre. He also intercepted Favre twice in Week 8.

But the best moment this jersey experienced came in the Wild Card Playoff against the Eagles.

Late in the game, with the Lions trailing by the bizarre score of 58-21 (seriously), Randall Cunningham scrambled a few yards and was tackled. As he got back to his feet, he gave a brotherly shove to the Lions player who wrapped him up. Willie Clay did not appreciate this, and he ran up and decked Randall, causing a scuffle to break out between the teams. When the dust cleared, Clay was ejected from the game and was showered with concession stand snacks and beer by angry Philly fans as he ran into the tunnel.

These are the kinds of stories that have me addicted to this hobby.

I recently posted about this game-used Lance Johnson jersey I purchased. After doing some sleuthing I found that he’s wearing this jersey in his 1996 Fleer card, so I bought an autographed copy which also features his “1 Dog” nickname.

Will work for Mirror Golds 🏅

This is a beautiful (and rare) set that I’ve been feeling lately. Great photos, strong design, and the dufex brings it all to life. I’d buy one of these cards even if it fell into a pile of cow manure.
