Re: MLB Authentication getting specific I LIKE!!
Wow. No wonder Jason think they are doing a better job. The authenticators at Yankee Stadium a top notch describers compared to Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago or Colorado. And your example is a 2008 bat. I like how the authenticator in Los Angeles says Blake uses a "ARUCCI" bat.

Re: MLB Authentication getting specific I LIKE!!
It would be very interesting if we could get an authenticater to answer some questions & see how its done. Let me first say its a great program & were lucky to have this in baseball. Like any program, there is human error involved...I could show examples of this, psa, steiner..etc...all where human error was made is authenticating items. I think this MLB authentic program is still evolving. On one hand, maybe the authenticater has access to only so much info at the time of authenticating...he should never assume anything. Are all the items gathered & brought to him at the end of a game, or is he collecting the items as the game progresses??
Heres a couple examples, both in Detroit, but the LATER one has less information...different authenticaters? different info provided to them??
I think us on the forum, we are the exceptions most of the time, we are "captain technicals" when it comes to our items & the history. I think we all love this forum because its the only place where we can learn from others about our hobby. Most places we go to buy items, we know more than the seller, its their job, not their passion like it is for us. (sorrY I rambled on...)

Re: MLB Authentication getting specific I LIKE!!
You're correct that there's nothing that proves that the named player did not use the bat. However, I would want the authentication to validate that he did use the bat. In the case of the Helton bat, MLB said "... the bat was a Todd Helton model bat. They had no list of who used it."
