July 4th & 9/11 Series Special MLB Caps

Re: Latest Stars and Stripes Caps

I was wanting to get one but I couldnt see spending $150 on a hat.

They were a bit pricey but it goes to a good cause (granted, I have no clue how much goes to the Welcome Back Veterans Fund).

I believe 90% does the rest goes to their administrative costs.

Re: Latest Stars and Stripes Caps

Thanks to Kyle Hess and Billy C for the screenshots of Figgins from the 9-11-2009 game. Loose threads on the back of the cap match game photo. Creases also, but the threads are circled.

Re: Latest Stars and Stripes Caps

Awesome screen shots Rob on that loose thread.

For people that have won these on MLB.com auctions. Have you been getting them in hand pretty quick after the auctions?

Re: Latest Stars and Stripes Caps

I paid Wed late night after the auction ended and had in hand Friday by lunch.

Thanks. Below is an even better matching photo of the threads and dominant crease. As far as timing goes, I paid the day after the auction ended and got the cap 1.5 week later.

Re: Latest Stars and Stripes Caps

It is going to be strange seeing Figgins in a Mariners uniform.

Re: Beware of JAYS Stars & Stipes Hats on MLB.com

Think I understand what you're trying to get at.

When you say number 32 isn't enough... do you mean for MLB to change the database entry or for you to be satisfied? If for you... I'd argue that no else else should be writing 32 inside his hat.

BOTH actually. MLB will not change the information on the MLB Hologram to state the player wore it. So I asked them , how could they SELL it and LIST it that way if they were not sure ? The response I got was :

everything is based on the information gathered by the authenticator. His note(s) must match what is entered into the database. If the authenticator is unable to validate the item(s), then no further action can be taken

Dont you guys think that is a Joke ? They want to list and sell them as players hats but wont Authenticate them as such.
I also got this comment :

It is the authenticator who witnessed the item, who took their own notes, who is the only one to make that decision. If this was marketed or sold with information additional to what is posted on the Authentication website, it would have been done by MLB.com who ran this particular auction.

So who in the world listed the auction if it wasnt MLB.com ?? LoL , they are really looking bad on this one. I hope the Other Teams had someone more responsible charting down the info.

Re: Beware of JAYS Stars & Stipes Hats on MLB.com

Sounds like the authenticator was lazy. My Figgins hat mentions Figgins name online. Still, it's unlikey that Halladay didn't wear that hat.

Yes the Authenticator was Lazy. But I dont think MLB should auction them off as player worn hats if THEY are not willing to back it up as such.

The Prices were over the top to start with, and if they cant authenticate it properly , I am taking the refund.
As we all know MLB Authenticated items do bring a premium and that is what I was paying for. Anyone can take one of those hats , wear it for a day and write #32 inside.

But I am glad for you that your Figgins was done the right way.
