In the MLB Database under TEAM ISSUED JERSEY

[allstarsplus]

I am looking to buy a jersey as game used. I inspected it and it has has nice use and unwashed. When I looked up the hologram # it comes up as:

Located in the MLB Authentication Database under TEAM ISSUED JERSEY.

So, I know from previous discussions that if the authenticator doesn't see it come off of the player's back, they aren't supposed to call it game used, but isn't there common sense if it comes soaked in sweat and smelly?

Does the "team issued" classification take away from the jersey or add to the value as at least you know it came out of the clubhouse. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

I dont put much faith in a coa, but a novice collector probably would. If I was almost certain that the item would be something put into the depths of my personal collection then i would be happy with the use moreso than the coa.

imo it adds to the value it shows it came from the team and usually a quick eyeball of the item confirms game use.

Thanks for the feedback!

I am more comfortable today with what it is and still hoping for a photomatch. The more I have researched it and the couple of calls I got off of this is that hologram establishes it came from the clubhouse which is a positive and the use should speak for itself.

If you want help looking for a photomatch, let me know. It would be cool to find a match.

Take a look at this holo number, it sure make me wonder if MLB is full of it. I thought you couldn't list a item as game used unless the date of use was witnessed. I guess the authenticators remember multiple use 3 months later.

Good point. Don't know how they can make a statement like that unless the jersey had a marking on it. Some authenticators will use an invisible dye. That jersey was hologram'd on December 4th obviously long after the season was over.

I know the Nats used a dye on Opening Day jerseys 2008 so they didn't have to witness the jerseys coming off of the players backs.

Playin Devils Advocate here.

But it is possible they did witness the Jerseys being used over several games and (for example) put them all in a bag and just lmonths ater logged them into there Database. Possibly not remembering the exact dates they were used but knowing they were used for several games is why they listed it in that respect "Jersey worn in multiple games during the 2009 Season"

Are the authenticators taking items home with them for the winter?

no but they can put them in the box and seal it with the security tape they use. And pretty sure the time to sell gu jerseys are in season as that when top dollar is offered.
