Need some help on a hat

[chakes89]

I need to make sure this Brett Tomko hat checks out.

It is supposed to be game used from this past years spring training.

It is from the Dodgers St. Patricks day game against the Houston Astros on March 17th, 2007.

I like that hat but wasn't aware that Major Leaguers wore hats with velcro backs.

Here are pics of the hat I have and pics of the hat in action and hanging in the locker room prior to the game.

What do you guys think?

If you look closely at the pic of the locker room, it definitley appears that the hats are not full-back as per the way they are hanging in Tomko's locker. you can see a white line which appears to be the white hangers they are using showing through. I also zoomed in on the pic in photoshop and it does appear to have the end of the strap protruding slightly and not laying flush and could very well be a velcro strap.

I have never seen a velcro Major League hat, but it does look like it is possible. Plus, in all honesty...if someone wanted to fake a game worn Dodgers hat, do you thing they would choose Brett Tomko...highly unlikely.

the other hats all hanging have New Era stickers on them and yours is a New Era hat, if that helps

Did it come with any kind of team letter? Is the tagging inside the same as any retail hat.

No COA

The guy I got it from said he got the hat directly from Tomko right after the game ended.

I am not sure on the tagging.

Here is a pic of the tagging:
