Joe Braun thought he bought a Brett Favre Packers jersey for his wife for Christmas six years ago. Instead he accidentally got a green and white one with a Jets logo on the sleeve.

But the 55-year-old and his 54-year-old wife Jeannette decided to keep it.

Actually, the pair from Racine, Wis. didn't even realize it wasn't green and gold until after she opened and put it on.

Their son noticed, but urged them to keep it in case it was worth something someday.

So they did and Jeannette Braun wore the Jets jersey to Lambeau Field many times, but no one mentioned it.
