Hi Fellow Collectors!
I am new to the forum and look forward to gaining your insight and information when it comes to game used memorabilia! As a college student in Boston in the 1990's I was able to obtain a couple of game used baseball caps through various Red Sox and Jimmy Fund auctions, and now with a young son I am interested in adding to my fledgling collection.
As a Red Sox fan I admired The Big Hurt and by the mid 1990's he had quickly emerged as one of baseball's most feared hitters so the opportunity to acquire his cap and help out a worthy cause was a great opportunity (though I still kick myself for missing out on a Greg Maddox hat - got a Cal Eldred cap instead - can you say "flash in the pan?")!
I would like your insight in regards to the cap that I obtained in the mid-1990's. It is a game used New Era Frank Thomas White Sox cap autographed by Frank on the brim. With Frank fast approaching the HOF and as one of the few current sluggers without the PED taint I would like to know if it checks out. As I said earlier, I have had the cap for almost 20 years and obtained it through a reliable and legitimate source, but no longer have any paperwork. The hat shows some game use and includes Frank's number 35 under the brim. What do you think? I welcome your insights!
