I purchased a base for the first time. I decided to buy a Chipper Jones commemorative base from his final regular season home game. When I bought it I thought it was only used in the 6th inning and Chipper didn't have an at bat in that inning. When I received it tonight the authentication stated it was used in the 6-8th innings. Chipper had his final regular season at bat at Turner Field in the 7th inning and it was a walk. I decided I wanted to get a picture of him standing on the base and as I watched the video they showed a close up of the base and I was able to photo match the base.

Congratulations! Additional research on items often adds a lot to your enjoyment. As a general point, it's not unusual for information about the significance of something to be lost along the chain of sellers and buyers; and a serious collector can often recover that lost info through some good research.
