are items worn for events only considered as "game worn"

[yankees24]

If a player wears a jersey or holds an equipment for an event such as a photo shoot or a pre-game ring ceremony that does not directly involve a game itself, should the item be deemed game issued or game worn?

there is no way it should be considered game worn

[yankees24]

okay thanks so these should be labeled as "event worn" items?

Event worn, yes.

On the back of some of the game used swatch cards, they are often labeled as event worn.

However you decide to classify it -- ceremony worn, event worn, game worn, etc. -- it should never have the term "issued" in the description.

What often happens at these affairs is the player / former player is given multiple uniforms. He wears one in the event which is then collected and auctioned, and he is also given one to take home as a souvenir. The "take home" uniform is always considered the issued one whereas the other is considered "used."

Similarly to "game used", if I am in the market to buy a uniform worn in a special ceremony or event, I want it to be that uniform!

Now back to event worn items...

I know Dave Kingman's "Last Game at Shea" went for about $2K. No..........I did not buy it nor would I pay that amount for a jersey worn a few hours at best during an event. However, I know who has it...

I do not subscribe to the philosophy that "these are not Game Worn Items."

I have many items that I have purchased through Meigray that are part of the NBA/NHL "Game Worn" Tagging.

Many of them are from photo shoots, competitions, practices etc. and they are described as Game worn in the description, the COA and on the labeling. If I go to resell it, I call it "Game Worn".

I know its semantics, and I know this topic has been discussed over and over on the forum with unending opinions, but that will always be my take on the topic.
