I'm sorry to hear that your experience was not positive. Believe me, I've had my share of those!!! Don't even get me started.
As to Denny and Steelers equipment, are you by any chance talking about a 2004-05 Ben Roethlisberger Steelers jersey? I have talked extensively with Denny about many items and, based on my conversations with him, I have learned that the Steelers retained all of Ben's gamers from last season and that this was confirmed with the Steelers equipment manager. Denny told me that he was asked to review a couple Ben jerseys but that, based on what he learned from being in the Steelers locker room and talking with the Steelers equipment people, he could not authenticate them as he has been told that they retained all of Ben's jerseys. If you are talking about a different Steelers game used item, then I cannot comment as we did not talk about other specific Steelers items; but I do remember this about the Ben jerseys from my talks with Denny.

Is it true that the Steelers kept all of Ben's jerseys from last year? Because I have seen a couple for auction, Greyflannel had one, one on Ebay, and now the one on Vintage's auction.
Denny Esken states that the Steelers kept all of Roethlisberger's jerseys??? Wouldn't all equipment managers say they keep all their jersey's since their under their supervision/responsibility?
Since people around here have had so much success recently finding good pics on getty images- how about a pic of Roethlisberger from his rookie year with the cuffed sleeves?
I've looked for a cuff sleeve and it seems like when he wore something underneath the jersey (in cold weather games), it looks like he did wear a sort of a cuffed sleeve. From the pictures I've seen it's been hard to tell. In warm weather games (with out anything on his arms) it doesn't look cuffed.
Just what I have seen, unless people have seen diffent?
