I bought the 98' Maddux Jersey in last month's auction based on what Legendary stated in their catalog.

After I bought it, I had Dave Miedema look it over. Dave noted that the name plate had been replaced noticing the stitch marks on the inside.

I spoke with Legendary and they told me that Maddux jerseys were often lost on the road and they needed local seamstresses to replace the name tag. That is why the font differed.

The Brave's bill of sale showed "game used jersey" with no player's name attached. The sale was in 2006 for the 1998 jersey for $600 which appears to be cheap but Legendary stated that the consigner was closely associated with the Braves and had gotten it from their traveling secreatary, Bill Acree.

I found another game used universe link from December of 2006:

To me, it looked like the same jersey mentioning the worthless Braves "bill of sale". The Font doesn't match either picture from either the 2006 Mastro Auction or the 2014 Legendary Auction.

So, as a Maddux collector, I like everything perfectly clear. I have never seen nameplate changes like this and I can assure you I have seen over a 100 Maddux and Glavine jerseys. I opined that there were too many questionable variables and requested a refund from Legendary for the $4183 that the jersey cost me.

I spoke with Legendary and the cosigner today. The cosigner thought that the "bill of sale" had noted Maddux's name. He had bought 2 Maddux jerseys at that 2006 event but the "bill of sale" mentions one "game used jersey."

At this time, Legendary did not offer me a refund back. They told me that I knew what I was buying. Really? Did they mention the replaced nameplate? Did they show a picture of the "no name" Braves receipt?

I would like your opinions for the following:
1. Are the Mastro 2006 and Legendary 2014 the same jersey?
2. Do either match the Getty pictures? Look at the spacing in the "A"
3. Do you like having a receipt from the Braves with no player name documented?
4. Did Legendary demonstrate due diligence in offering this jersey?

Should they do the right thing and refund my money, I will let everyone know and will continue to use them. Should they continue to refuse a refund, then we shall see.......................

I appreciate any input. Thank you in advance.
