I noticed this evening that all of the jackets sold over the last two weeks as game used by cfljackson came from the Summer 2014 Huggins & Scott auction. I have no problem with a seller making a profit by breaking up a lot, but the seller claimed the items were sourced from Jose Molina (Yankees jackets) and a Blue Jays clubhouse employee.
Apparently all three stories are just that, as here are the listings where they all originated from:
Blue Jays:

Attributed to Vernon Wells: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171442607727
Attributed to Juan Guzman: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171442605190
Attributed to 1977: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171442599005
Attributed to 1977: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181513021146
All four of the items contradict the H&S listing.
Yankees:

Listing claiming game used by El Duque in the 90s (Huggins & Scott identifies jacket as from the 2000s):

Just something to consider when bidding on items attributed to people without any real basis for attribution: If the seller's story contradicts a recent auction, it's likely just a story without any merit.
