I have a Rawlings batting helmet supposedly from an Arizona Diamondbacks player with a hologram that starts with the letters DB. On the inside it also has a circular silver Rawlings "R" sticker, a white "ABC" sticker, and a red and white sticker that says "Rawlings 4 - 14 'The Mark of a Pro' ." It also has a Warning sticker. On the outside rear it has the player's number above the MLB sticker.
According to the MLB site: The DB numbered hologram is not an authentication hologram; it is a hologram that designates the item as officially licensed. This hologram is never used for authentication by the MLB Authentication program for any autographed or game-used items. Authentication holograms are placed directly on the items themselves and include one of the letter combinations available on the drop down list.
Does that mean that all items with these DB lettered holograms are not game used, or simply that MLB did not authenticate them?
Can anyone explain this better? Also, is there anyone with knowledge of Diamondbacks helmets who can shed some light on the situation?
Thanks much. You can contact me at goldstein@goldlaw.com
