This jersey was recently listed on eBay by user hyoseo, which I believe is potentially forum member oyhhyo - based on the similar username and interest in Choo. Here's an Items Wanted ad by this member for Choo items.

The jersey in question sold last night via MLB Auctions for $300. It was clearly advertised as to having little to no wear. Here's the link.

The jersey has made it's way on to eBay now, while having not even been shipped out from Cincinnati and in the sellers possession. The pictures are clearly taken from the MLB Auction listing.

The issue I'm highlighting in this post is that in the listing the seller states the following:

"All of the 2013 Reds spring training jerseys are always given a team issued because they are worn for 2 months"

He is implying that this jersey has 2 months worth of use when in reality it has little to no use and there is no mention of this. Not good.

I sent a message to the seller highlighting my concern.

I did too Ryan, but he provided me with EK322255 as MLB auth and one from auction was EK322254. Both listed as team issued Choo jerseys

Hello, rdeversole

Thank you for your interest. I always paid Choo items for the purpose of collecting. I do not aim to resale. Please check my eBay feedback.

I'm sorry if you was confused because the pictures.
See the attached pictures. This jersey shows GREAT USE. Another question?
I obtained his items early. If I had bought it at auction yesterday, as you said, I have to wait for a long time.

I didn't know who you are.
When I asked you respectfully about choo items on Apr 26, you just had ignored my message. Now you interested me very kindly.

I did not lie in the description.
Like I said, I always paid Choo items for the purpose of collecting.
And I have a lot of Choo items than anyone else. Attached in some collections.
It was a difficult decision to sell.
