My particular expertise is Cowboys history from 1960-1988 (the Landry era); I'm also a Cowboys book fanatic (I have almost 200 different Cowboys-related titles), and I also collect Cowboys football cards (but stopped in 93). But I am not an expert in the value of cards or collectibles – so please don't ask.
Before you ask: "So-and-so" almost certainly DID NOT PLAY for the Cowboys -- trust me! Before you ask me, ask the guy for proof!
Finally, I DO NOT ANSWER “PRIVATE” QUESTIONS! My work requires research, so the results must be made public.
I had a Cowboys webpage recognized around the Internet as the authoritative list of Cowboys links, and I have a Cowboys book collection second to none (200 titles). In addition to my book collection, I have every Cowboys media guide back to 1960, which makes researching questions much easier.
I've been a Cowboy fan all my life; I like answering questions and helping other fans.
I'd like to be recognized as an expert who was willing to help people and share information.
The reason the Cowboys wear white has nothing to do with a "jinx" on the blue jersies. And the Cowboys did not name themselves "America's Team". That came from NFL Films in 1979.
The question I get most often is: did "so-and-so" ever play for the Cowboys? I can tell you already: the answer is (99 times out of 100): NO! If anybody claims that, ask them for proof. That goes for "former coaches" too -- if you haven't heard of the guy, he's probably faking it.

Ricky: Originally, the Cowboys wore the blue double-star jersey as their home uniform from 1960-63. It wasn't until they redesigned their uniform in 1964 to the current silver & white that they began
Steve: That's a nice painting, but I'm afraid I don't know anymore about it than I wrote before. I suggest you send a letter to Gil Brandt c/o the Dallas Cowboys (One Cowboys Parkway, Irving, TX 75063)
"Worth" or "value" are very subjective things when it comes to collectibles. And I'm really not an expert on collectibles like this, so you might want to ask my friend and fellow Cowboys expert Duke Ha
Seth: If somebody told you this is a Dallas Cowboys jersey, you need to ask that person for proof. As far as I can tell, it isn't a Dallas Cowboys jersey. This appears to be a jersey made by Sean
Michael: These are the African Americans who've played QB for the Cowboys and credited with at least one pass attempt during the regular season or post-season: Reggie Collier (1986) Rodney Peete
