Rivera Hat on eBay?

[cliffjmp33]

Rivera hat just came up on eBay today and I don't really feel comfy about it being real just based on the little information the person provided. Especially the seller having the Steiner letter somewhere, but not sure he can find it.

Any and all insight appreciated. Thanks!

I'd proceed with caution at $700 with only a possibility of authenticity from Steiner. In addition, the listing indicates a size (looks to be 7-1/2). I'd do some research to see if it jives with Rivera's actual hat size. Good luck....

With that description and price, I wouldn't touch it.

Would not touch that with a freaking TASER!

my list of problems
1) His grammar
2) His Feedback
3) With all the moving around he did he lost the Stiener COA
4) That hologram could have been taken off any MLB product and stuck on there
5) The placement of the 42
6) I've never seen a yankee world series hat from that year hit the market
7) He got it from a "FRIEND" and therefor has no proof of where it really came from
8) Sweat stains could have been from him running in it
9) Never ever ever in my life seen Mo wear his brim with that much of a curl in it. I live in NY and attend 17 games a year on avg and have been watching MO for over 15 years and never have seen him wear his hat like that.
10) No photo match, which would be really easy to find seeing as to how its a WS hat.
11) AVOID AND DON'T EVEN BOTHER!!! PRICE IS WAY TO LOW FOR ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER AND A SERIES IN WHICH THEY WON! YOUR RISK WILL NOT BE YOUR REWARD IF YOU PURCHASE.

1000000% NO NO CAUTION AVOID THIS HAT!
