Happy Thanksgiving to everybody! I need some help with a little info. Does anybody remember a Platt auction. I believe it may have taken place in the last year or so. I never saw it myself. There was a 60's Phillies Allen hat in the auction. Can anybody give me info on the hat. Thoughts on authenticity, size, market value, ect.. The hat is being offered to me in a trade this weekend and I'll be viewing it then. It is a size 7 which is possible, as Allen himself told me his hat size was small when he came up with the Phillies in 64 as a youngster when I had him sign a 60's helmet. My discussion on the hat was brief. I'm very leary on hats, and at this point don't know if it is a Wilson which I believe it should be. I have a 63 Chris Short hat and it is a Wilson. I was also told that Ed Dolan has approved it. Whether that means it has his written loa, I'll find out Saturday. If not I'll certainly contact him before I deal for it, but I would like as much info as possible.
Thanks
Wayne
