Re: Anyone ever "receive an offer" from a player for their G/U equipment?
Here's a variation on this theme. During one of my conversations with former 2000 Met Bubba Trammell he reminisced about his first game as a Met after being traded from the Rays. In his first at bat as a Met he hit a home run. The Mets wore their black alternate home jerseys that day and he wished he was able to save that jersey. As fate would have it I was able to find what I think is the jersey and arranging for it to be sent to Bubba next week. He viewed some photos of the jersey and the tagging and verified from photos he had the jersey tagging matches the one he wore. He's very happy to get that jersey back!

Re: Anyone ever "receive an offer" from a player for their G/U equipment?
I saw a post on a Facebook game used group asking second hand (on behalf of the player) about that players jersey for his dad and listing the auction where it was sold. Random dumb luck, I own it.
I contact the poster, we talk, I ask for less than I won it for, plus a photo of him holding it when he gets it so I know it is where I believe it belongs. The player is thrilled! Everything seems like it is flowing, I post the jersey is going back to it's wearer, tons of positive support from the collecting community and I'm just happy it's going to someone who, without a doubt, will treasure it the most.
But in the last 4 months, the player never contacted me. Oh well, it's still wrapped and ready to ship when he has the time.
