Late 1980s Dan Marino Miami Dolphins Game-Used & Autographed Home Jersey

Dan Marino’s Game-Used Jersey: A Testament to Football Greatness

A Legendary Quarterback

Dan Marino, the last quarterback selected in the first round of the famed Quarterback Class of 1983, stands as one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history. Known for his quick release and powerful arm, Marino’s career with the Miami Dolphins was nothing short of legendary. Over seventeen seasons, he led the Dolphins to the playoffs ten times and held numerous NFL passing records. His remarkable achievements earned him a place in the Hall of Fame in 2005, solidifying his status as one of the greatest quarterbacks in football history.

The Iconic Jersey

This particular jersey is a remarkable piece of football memorabilia, representing Marino’s illustrious career. On the left front tail, the jersey features the “Champion” manufacturer’s tag with wash instructions and size “XL.” Attached are flag tags indicating “3” Deeper Armhole” and “2” Extra Body Length.” The player number “13” is prominently displayed on the front, back, and both shoulders, painted in white with an orange outline. The name “MARINO” is emblazoned on the back in white block letters on a teal nameplate.

Signature and Provenance

Adding to its allure, Marino has signed the back number in black marker, inscribing his iconic “13.” The signature, rated a 6-7 due to light bleeding, enhances the jersey’s value and appeal. Presented to us as game-used, this jersey is properly tagged and, in our opinion, shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by a PC Collectibles Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and a LOA from JSA, further attesting to its authenticity and significance.
