While Hall of Famer Don Maynard was a frequent standout for the Jets, he had his biggest day in the 1968 AFL Championship Game that preceded the Jets' stunning upset of Baltimore in Super Bowl III. In New York's 27-23 victory over Oakland, Maynard caught six passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns. His 14-yard grab in the first period gave the Jets the lead and his six-yard catch in the fourth period proved to be the game winner. Although he never led the league in receiving any one season, at the time of his retirement following the 1973 season, Maynard was one of only five players to record more than 50 receptions and more than 1,000 receiving yards in five different seasons. A four-time AFL All-Star, his 633 career catches for 11,834 yards were both pro records at the time. On the bottom left front tail is the "Wilson" manufacturers size 42 tag. On the back and the front of the jersey is the player number "13" in white tackle twill. On each shoulder of the jersey are seven stars in white tackle twill. Autographed on front in black marker with “68 AFL All-Star MVP” added and rates a 9. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. The autograph is accompanied by a LOA JSA. Accompanied by a LOA from Don Maynard.
