In absence of tell-tale signs of game use like grass and dirt stains, tears, etc. what should one look for on a baseball jersey?

Re: Game Use
1. wash wear on tagging and numbers
2. loose buttons from buttoning/unbuttoning dozens of times. (not applicable to modern jerseys worn +-3 times total).
3. faded sleeve trim, numbers, front team wordmark (from washing + sun)
4. position specific wear - for catches, pilling under arms/around back from chestpad straps, for shortstops i'd like to see abrasion on front
5. the "feel" of the jersey. over time/use/washing, it'll loose the crisp roughness it had as a new jersey and become noticeably softer to the touch.
