Re: My biggest pet peeve...

Could be worse...instead of letting his daughter wear it, he could be photographing it while it sat atop his toilet...

Re: My biggest pet peeve...

I personally do NOT have an issue with it. The Seller got a family member, in this case his daughter, involved into the hobby. What's wrong with a Father and Daughter spending quality time together and sharing a mutual hobby?

Just my thoughts

Cohiba I dont think anyone here has an issue with Father and Daughter spending quality time together.
The issue is regardless of who is wearing the Jersey other than the player himself / herself no one really wants to see that. It is a turn off.

I hate when People Wear Game Used Jerseys.

Re: My biggest pet peeve...

So I sent the seller an e-mail saying how a lot of collector's feel that it can destroy the value of a piece if they see people showcasing it on their own backs for their auctions and in part of the long response back, he said:

"I've been collecting jerseys since the mid 70's and have worn many, many jerseys to shows. Star jerseys, such as Rose, Morgan, Walter Payton, etc.,"

So this Walter Payton jersey he is now selling, the correct way, has been worn by the seller to shows.

Q&A from Ebay Listing:

Q: Dear Seller, just trying to give some good advice as I am an ebay seller myself and game used collector. If I were you when listing your game used items. just display them thats it. Don;t have someone model them or wearing them for the picture. Not there is anything wrong with your daughter but most collectors hate seeing a Jersey being worn or used other than the player and will cause people not to bid on items or turn them off from an auction. Just trying to help!! Aug-25-10
A: You made some very valid points and I appreciate you taking the time to offer them. I have sold many, many game used items over the years and had followed the advice you stated. This time, however, my daughter asked me if she could make some extra working around the house. I told her that if she modeled the jerseys I was selling, I'd pay her 5.00 for each one that sold. So, if bidders get turned off by the way I display my items, then so be it. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to offer your thoughts. My way (this time) is the correct way. Take care. Jeff

She's wearing clothes underneath at least. There was one woman who was wearing at most underwear under the baseball jerseys. She was good looking, but still.

It's not a pet peeve, but I'm not fond of the practice.
