here's a question I would like some input on. Being a curtis granderson fan,I've always wondered about this helmet. I bought this last year during the season at comerica park in detroit. The authentics department was selling alot of helmets from past season authenticated as "team issued".
I was told any items authenticated in bulk, after the fact, can only be called team issued since the authenticater didn't see it come off the field.
the tigers didn't have a full authentics dept until the beginning of 2007.
this granderson helmet has the "date wheel" inside with '06 & the arrow pointing to 9. It does show some game use & I was wondering what the thoughts were that this could be his playoff & world series helmet. Maybe in september/october he started wearing a new one for any number of reasons. I know in '07 they wore the new style of helmet. Here's the mlb auth code:
Hologram number BB499566 was located in the MLB Authentication Database under BATTING HELMETS.
