Well I will say it before someone else

"You do not have a right to stolen property"


But yeah I would encourage him to bid if its that big of a deal to him.

I would tell him that I respect and appreciate his desire to have the jersey - but since he has no legal claim to it, the best I could do would be to suggest that he either bid on it, himself, or be prepared to contact the winning bidder once the auction is over and offer to buy it from them.

Re: Player Contacted Me About His Jersey For Sale

the jersey, purchased by the team, was stolen out of the team's locker room. what's his claim to it? did he pay for it? did the team give it to him after the season? if not, then it's more yours than it is his.

Allright long story short I have a football jersey up on ebay from the 80's. I get an email saying that " Iam so and so and I would like to talk to you about this jersey please call me *********" So I message him back and was very nice and asked what questions he had. He insisted that I call him. I googled the number he gave me ( nothing came up so i checked the area code) and he lives in the town the player resides in. This player only played 4 or 5 seasons. Anyways so I call him and he tells me that the jersey was stolen out of his locker back in the 80's and he wants it back. I paid a decent amount for it so what do I do ? I told him I would get back to him by the end of the week and let him know. He scanned me his drivers license as proof so I know it is the said person. Now keep in mind this is like 23 years later.

Any advice ?

Thanks
