I've listed a few jerseys on E-bay and received the following request. With what appear to be a lot of questionable jerseys for sale, I'm suspicious of any request from someone who wants to make a pattern of the jersey's numbers to "restore" or make replicas. Any of you had similar requests and if so, how did you reply? I've redacted the team name, but I figure the easiest way to see the numbers would be for the guy to buy the jersey. Am I being paranoid?
The request:
Hello,
I have what may sound like an unusual request, but I was hoping you can help me out. I restore/collect <Team Name> jerseys (all teams actually) and I'm working on making the patterns for the <Team Name> jersey numbers. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to email me the high resolution photos you used of the jersey, or even send me new pictures/scans focused on the numbers that I can make a pattern from? I would make them from the replicas, but as I'm sure you know, they don't actually match the game numbers exactly. Thank you so much for your time!
