I have a Kansas City Blues fitted hat. Inside the hat, written on the leather band is "Dick Bartell 1948." This is written in Dick Bartell's handwriting as I have a half dozen Dick Bartell signatures to compare it with. I also have a 1949 American Association program which has a headshot of Dick Bartell as the manager wearing that same style hat.
I believe this hat to be game worn based on the signature and wear.
My question is would sending this item to an authenticator be worthwhile? Would they be able to tell me more about the hat than I don't already know? How do they verify that a hat is indeed game worn, especially being that it is from a low minor league team?
Any and all comments/thoughts would be appreciated.
