Re: Dwight Gooden 93 Mets and 01 Edgardo Alfonzo team issued on ebay
I don't see how these auctions can be viewed as being "honest". They're definitely with the intent to make somebody think that these are the real game issued jerseys and haven't been altered.
At the very least, you could just say that they've been altered and leave out the details. Let people contact you if they have any questions. But to leave the fact that they were altered out completely seems like a blatant attempt to sell these for much more than they're worth.

Re: Dwight Gooden 93 Mets and 01 Edgardo Alfonzo team issued on ebay
Anyone interested in a game issued/used Louisville Slugger bat that I originally bought blank, added pine tar to it, used it in the cages a few times, than when I was done I decided to take it down to the engraver and have Albert Pujols, ST Louis Cardinals engraved in it?

Re: Dwight Gooden 93 Mets and 01 Edgardo Alfonzo team issued on ebay
I too have been following these auctions and to my disappointment they have not been amended despite the many comments made here by the game used collecting community.
Whether intentional or not, the auctions are misleading. Just by saying that the jerseys are "team issued" doesn't get a free pass, because a team issued jersey with the name and number of a player of that team equates to the jersey having been actually issued to him for wear in a game. This is common practice/terminology across the industry.
Not stating that the jersey was not in fact issued to the player would be like telling a half truth. Not stating that the jersey had been altered would be the same as leaving out the most critical details (for example, if I were selling a car and told the prospective buyer everything positive I could think of about it... and then leave out the fact that it was in a flood).
Allowing the seller the benefit of the doubt... if this really comes down to terminology and his belief that he has been honest in his listing, I want to provide a real life analogy:
1. You can go to Steiner's website and buy a game issued Yankees jersey for $100.00.
http://www.steinersports.com/2007-ya...ipe-jersey-(48)
You can then have it customized with a sleeve patch ($10-15) and a #42 on the back ($30-40). For $150, you have a "team issued" jersey that had been customized into a Mariano Rivera.
2. You can go to Steiner's website and buy a game issued Mariano Rivera Yankees jersey for $1,000.00.

The two are not the same thing, and it would not be fair to misrepresent item #1 as item #2.Looking for ...

If the first link in my last posting does not work, it is because the ")" at the end of the link is getting chopped off. Click the link, which should load almost the whole URL into your address bar, add a ")" to the end, and it should work.

Re: Dwight Gooden 93 Mets and 01 Edgardo Alfonzo team issued on ebay
It really does not matter what he does now because the bidders are locked in..I guess we all live and learn but I will bet any money down the road these jerseys will be up for sale as Gamers at some auction house and someone will pay a premium thinking they are the real thing...That is another problem but hey anything for an extra dollar I guess..

Re: Dwight Gooden 93 Mets and 01 Edgardo Alfonzo team issued on ebay
I'm late to this thread, but I would've liked to see a picture of that refurbished '94 road Gooden jersey. (The ebay links are presently dead ). From my personal first hand experience, Stitches is incapable of providing the proper specs for 93-94 Mets uniforms, and so the wrong style numbering would've been a dead giveaway as to the fishiness of that jersey, even without knowing that the jersey was taken to Stitches for some renumbering.

The listings are still up. If you click on the link in the first post, then click on the sellers feedback, you can get the links to the listings by clicking on the individual feedback links for those items. The titles are listed with each feedback, just a few down the list of most recent.
