The Pro Football Hall of Fame has its share of snubs, perhaps none more glaring than Jim Plunkett. After winning the 1970 Heisman at Stanford, the 6' 3" 220-lb. quarterback (born and raised in the Bay Area as well) showed true grit and steadfast determination during his 15-year career in the NFL. The AFC Rookie of the Year in 1971 with the Patriots, he later joined the Oakland Raiders in 1978 preparing to be the backup when fate intervened. An injury gave Plunkett another shot as a starter and he flourished, leading the 1980 Silver and Black to an emphatic 27-10 victory over the Eagles in Super Bowl XV. Three years later, he led the Los Angeles Raiders to another dominant 38-9 win over the Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII. To date, Plunkett and Eli Manning are the only QBs with multiple Super Bowl rings not enshrined in Canton, and Eli may leave Jim all by himself after the 2025 class is announced.
Offered here is Jim Plunkett's L.A. Raiders game worn home jersey dating to the 1983-84 period. The black mesh jersey manufactured by Medalist Sandknit hails from an era in which he compiled an 18-5 record (including the playoffs) as the starter, highlighted by a career-high 20 TD passes in '83. The size 44 pullover features "PLUNKETT" in silver straight across the back on a black nameplate. His number "16" appears on the front, back, and both sleeves in silver tackle twill. Tagging and sizing match all exemplars from the era. Shows ample use and puckering throughout. Includes full LOA from MEARS graded a perfect A10. Additional LOA from Super Bowl LIV live auction in Feb. of 2020.
