... where do I start? I have friends and collectors alike - and they all have asked why dont I established something since I am "helping" them for free. There is NO better place to ask for "wording help" than GUU, so here it goes.
(let me give a little background and we can go from there).
1. I am a full season ticket holder for the Yankees. My seats are in the outfield - right field to be exact. I missed about 4 games for the last 7 seasons or so. I do attend every home game - unless there are something beyond my control, then I would not be at the game. Unless the game is cancelled, then that is another story.
2. Most people in my section know that I am a "die hard" HR baseball's collector. I have video clips of me catching these baseball - now that was fun to look at every single time! With the technology improving, the still images are so much better now. When the HR baseball landed in my section - from both teams - I would tell them to HOLD onto the baseball until they have the urge to "chicago-rized it" - throwing the opponent's HR back!
3. The easiest provenance - pictures of you with the baseball and the fans around you along with your ticket stub. It is difficult to fake - strangers around you being happy for you catching a HR ball.
4. What I have been suggesting for these "not-so-collector but just a fan" - get a picture with the security who happened to be in the area and his/her info. This will help later on.
5. Here is the main reason for this thread - what would be the acceptable wording for the provenance paper? Beside the obvious - game date, player name, ticket stub, security's witness, etc.
(Beside the Tigers, there are no other HR baseball being authenticated as such.)
