MLB Hologram Placement on Game Used Items

I couldn't agree more....the hologram is to authenticate the item....period. I have them all over in goofy spots....take a locker name plate for example....I think it should be on the back of the plate....it would do its job fine there...not front & center...even over letters or words sometimes...yes, there should be a type of standard placement.

I think it has more to do with the fact that the Authenticators that are hired are not big collectors if at all. I heard that there are 1-2 for each team and are on hand every night.

Actually getting the authentication right in the system is a whole other issue. I recently bought one bat(exchanged it for a good one) and was about to buy another and both had wrong info. One was listed as a top half of another players bat and the second was a lineup card I believe.

I notice MLB likes to keep the hologram pretty close to the signature. Not in all cases but most are residing right by the signature.
