This cap is really getting bid up on eBay. The problem is, it is NOT a 1965 Milwaukee Braves cap as represented by the seller. First off, that style of Wilson label with the size on the tag first appeared around 1975. Second, that cap has vent holes positioned well above the logo, and third, the logo is a sewn-on patch. I own, and have seen, many Wilson 1960's Braves caps. Those caps have Wilson labels without the size; the size is stamped in ink on the sweatband, along with the 3-letter date code; vent holes are level with the top of the logo; and the logo is embroidered directly on the cap. Somebody is going to be ripped off big time. I emailed the seller who ignored me. I can't see any way to report it to eBay. Any thoughts?

I agree with you on your concerns. Did you send the seller an e-mail regarding this before your post?
