Since there's no general agreement on what means what with some of the terms used in the hobby I personally would not call out anyone selling an item with a description that means something different to them than it does to me. I would just ask questions about the item and bid or not bid accordingly. The term "game issued jersey" seems to generate a lot of controversy so I thought I would post a poll to see what collectors think about when they see that term:

1) a jersey issued by the manufacturer cut for game use but not meant to go to the actual team

2) a jersey obtained directly from the team but not actually issued to the player

3) a jersey issued to a particular player and obtained from the player or the team but not actually issued for a particular game

4) a jersey issued for a specific game either as primary jersey or backup jersey, but not actually used in that game (perhaps the player was a "late scratch" to use a hockey term or the backup jersey was not needed)

I'm not really sure how to post a poll so if it doesn't work feel free to just reply with an answer and if you have another definition of the term please post it. Thanks!
