Long stuck in the shadow of his older, more-touted brother Peyton, Eli Manning finally emerged from the darkness by winning two Super Bowl titles to put himself in a class all alone among the revered quarterback family. This signed, game-used blue New York Giants home jersey comes from Manning’s 2005 season in which he threw for more than 3,700 yards and 24 touchdowns. Manning’s signature appears in bold, black Sharpie on the “0” on back of his number “10” jersey with the inscription “Game Used 2005.” “MANNING” appears across the back in white tackle twill on a blue name plate, with his number “10” on the front, back and shoulders in white tackle twill. The inside collar of the jersey boasts a white strip tag that reads “05-50” for the jersey’s year and size, while the front tail features a “Reebok” manufacturer’s tag with size “50” and “2” L.B.” noted. The left chest of the jersey features a “WTM NY PRT” memorial patch recognizing deceased team co-owners Wellington T. Mara and Preston Robert Tisch. The signed, game-used jersey comes with a COA from Mounted Memories and includes a photograph of Manning holding the jersey.
