It's faded, stained and bears the Sharpie markings of a numbered player. But how authentic is the game-used hat? I've seen some great comments about collecting them--most of them saying that game used caps are the hardest to authenticate (right along with game used baseballs, I guess).
Still, the game used hat remains one of the most affordable means to enjoy the hobby. So what guidelines do you use in determining the authenticity of a cap? Aside from snatching it off a player's head while he is still sweating, it seems like a real challenge.
