And while I am seeking opinions I am wondering if game used equipment used or worn during a game in which a player makes a boneheaded play is helped or hurt in value thanks to that play.

For instance in Game 2 of the 2006 playoffs, Torii Hunter dove for a ball and missed allowing an inside the park home run. A month ago or so the jersey he wore during that play showed up on ebay. (I believe the seller is a member here.)

So does the play affect the value of the jersey in any way?

I actually wouldn't mind something like that in my collection. As long as the bone-headed play was infamous, then I'll take it.

The best would be the hat used by Canseco when the ball bounced off his head and over the wall. Maybe even a transfer mark on the cap!!

Or the glove Manny used to cut off the throw from the centerfielder

How about the infamous Bill Buckner jersey when the ball went through the 5 hole?!

If Jeffrey Maier ever decided to cut off his arm and sell it, I'd buy it just so I could shove it in a woodchipper while screaming obscenities and sobbing uncontrollably.

I have collected items from the Bartman game between the Cubs and Marlins which includes game used balls and bases, Alou game used cleats, Luis Castillo game used jersey and bat.

I think in the case of the Hunter jersey the fact that it's a playoff jersey will make it more desirable than the error he comitted on the play. Additionally the Puckett memorial number makes it a unique one year style jersey too.
