1985 Eric Dickerson Los Angeles Rams Game-Used & Autographed White Mesh Jersey

What I tried to represent in my collection was what personified greatness in the most influential years of my life as an avid NFL talent admirer. As far as the running back position, I wanted a representation of the best from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The representing player of the 1980s was in my mind a "No Brainer!" Eric Dickerson may have been as good as there ever was in the peak of his career, and his record setting 2105 yds. in 1984 was the absolute contrast to Marino's 5084 yds. and 48 TD's. Watching Dickerson run was like watching a machine, yet with the grace of a ballet dancer. The 1985 Los Angeles Rams uniform was my favorite that Dickerson would wear in his HOF career, bearing both the anniversary patch, and his extreme personal customization, this jersey truly accentuated my appreciation for the NFL running back's task at hand. The hit marks lay as prominent as the touching way Dickerson signed the jersey to me, as he inscribed "1985 season" with his signature, and told me how honored he was to be represented in my personal collection. "PONY EXPRESS". ...You are truly a class act, and the honor is ALL mine! On the front left tail of the jersey is the "Medalist Sand-Knit" manufacturers size 48 tag. Above this tag is the "Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Los Angeles Rams" tag. On the front, back, and on each sleeve is the player number "29" in blue vinyl numbers. Across the back is "DICKERSON" in blue vinyl letters on a white name plate. The front neck has been customized. On the front left shoulder is the "40th Anniversary" patch. The jersey is autographed on back in black maker with "1985" added and rates a 9. The jersey shows nice game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. The autograph is accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
