Potential Value of Derek Jeter Game Used 1995 Hat (#7 Tribute)

[canjond]

I'm hoping someone can help me out with the potential value of a 1995 Jeter game used hat (Mantle Tribute). Here's the story... My girlfriend's father is a retired NYPD officer who spent a fair amount of time doing stadium security. He is not a collector per se, but rather a life-long Yankees fan. To cut to the chase, in 1995, he was working on field stadium security, and was given this hat directly by Jeter after a game. I've asked him if he recalled the game (for a potential photo-match) but unfortunately he doesn't recall the game. I tried to snap as many photos as possible, including the tagging, the #7 embroidery, and Jeter's signature under the brim. The hat is not for sale, but I'll be in AC for the national, so I was hoping to get a sense of whether it's worth bringing it for Mears authentication.

Thanks in advance.

They do have a booth when the National is in Chicago. Atlantic City may be too distant, but I suggest giving them a call or sending them an email to find out.

Possible it was on this same day August 14, 1995.
