I was a little bothered when I saw that Zane Burns is selling a Matt Wieters All-Star BP jersey (among many others) as game worn...

So I emailed him...

You're listing is mis-leading...

The jersey your selling is not the field worn version... I won that.

Hunt has always sold the autographed copy of the Jerseys.

I recieved the response back....

I totally disagree with you-I have been to every all-star game since 1993. Each player is given several of these shirts-Many players use more than one shirt for warm up-Batting practice-Home Run Derby-This lasts for many, many hours-Longer than a game-These shirts came from a MLB Source-right out of the locker room-Maybe you are just trying to protect your own jerseys? Some of these shirts were worn and some were issued to the players-It’s impossible to tell-Based upon a few hours-They are authentic-Money back if not satisfied-Regards-ZanebatsSo I sent...

Dear zanebats,

I am glad you get to go to the games... and I am not trying to protect my jersey... I am a fan thats why I bought mine... and the difference in the MLB authentication...

here is yours...

Notice "WORN"...

and dont you think the markup is a little extreme... from 250 to 995?(the $250 was the cost at Hunt auctions)... and here is the next response

I understand and know all about them-but there are more than 2-And the players usually wear more than one-MLB authentication makes lots of errors on these(Over the years)-And it’s $995.00 or best offer-Has your been photomatched? ZaneI told him i did photomatch mine...

Is anyone else as bothered by this as I am??... I consider this a few of the cardinal sins of being a collector... 1) misrepresenation of a product 2) gouging a collector to make a huge profit

I have bought items from Zane before, and never had any problems, but I need to call him out on this.

Am I wrong?
