Game Used World Series Cap Question

[zooat2]

- I purchased a Phil Coke GU WS Cap from Steiner, its authenticated to Game 6. My question is, what happens to the caps in the midst of the wild celebrating? Is someone in charge of collecting all of them and then authenticating them?

- Thanks guys!

what is the MLB hologram #?

someone must have been collecting the caps from the players at the same time giving them championship logo caps that they wore at the trophy celebration stand.

Re: Game Used World Series Cap Question

not sure how they were collected but only 14 people decided not to keep their caps. its wasnt a one WS cap for one Championship caps exchange. Not sure if it was collected here by a different person than who was passing our the championship caps which is a possibility or collected in the lockerroom later. Look at Pettite celebrating with both caps on.

Wow that is awesome zooat2. Wouldn't mind one of those myself! Just picked up from ShafranCollectibles a GU World Series jersey worn by Mike Harkey and a WS Rob Thomson locker name plate to go with my Melky playoffs Hoody. Would love a cap to complete that set!

Saying 14 players didn't keep their caps is an inaccurate statement by me. A more accurate statement is 14 player hats were hologrammed. I have no idea their system they used for accumulating the caps that were hologrammed. Something that is hologrammed does not necessarily mean it goes directly to Steiner also so a player may have kept the cap to do as they please(ie. sell it or keep for themselves).

I saw a video with Nick Swisher doing a summersault and then throwing his cap on the ground before returning back to the celebration. Later some dude in a red jacket picks up the cap. In the photo, you will notice more caps on the ground. But I started thinking and checked to see if his Swisher's cap was one of the 14 caps hologrammed and it was not.

Notice the man in red collecting the caps and the other caps on the ground. (John Madden like markup job on the photo)

So to answer your original question. The man in red collected the caps but it had nothing to do with authetication process.

The caps were autheticated not in the onfield session called 2009 WORLD SERIES GAME 6 PHI AT NYY but rather in a session described as YANKEE WS CELEBRATION held in the lockerrooom.

- I actually emailed my Steiner rep and he said they only got 13 player caps, plus Long's and Nady's.

And I have Jason Hirsh's hat he wore during the series while sitting on the bench...
