2001. WWF Chris Jericho Y2J collector plate. The WWF/Bradford Exchange licensed run from the Attitude Era merch arms race, the same ceramic-dinnerware wave that put Stone Cold, The Rock, and Mankind on plates nobody ever ate off of.
Jericho in the Y2J pose: ring apron behind him, arms out, the Chris Jericho spotlight entrance frozen at the drop. This is pre-Undisputed Jericho, before December 9, 2001 at Vengeance where he beat The Rock and Steve Austin on the same night to unify the WWF and WCW titles. Gimmick-timing window: post-WCW-split in August 1999, through the Rock feud in summer 2001, rolling into the Invasion storyline opposite The Alliance.
Licensing chain: Titan Sports, Inc. (the pre-WWE corporate name, retired May 2002 after the World Wildlife Fund lawsuit) on the backstamp, Bradford Exchange as the issuing authority. Bradford ran their WWF collector-plate series through 2000-2002 in numbered editions, each plate individually backstamped with the plate number and certificate reference. The three-letter WWF scratch logo on the face dates this to the pre-rebrand window. This is wall-display ceramic, not food-safe dinnerware. Bradford plates in this run shipped with a hanger, a certificate of authenticity, and a numbered foam insert inside a branded box.
What to look for: the backstamp on the underside should carry the Titan Sports copyright line, the Bradford Exchange mark, and the plate's edition number. See photo of the underside.
Display-only ceramic. Price as shown. One of one.
