Re: Derek Jeter Jersey 8D Auction
Well after looking, it looks like he only wore this jersey for three games( Sept 2nd, 3rd and 4th).

Re: Derek Jeter Jersey 8D Auction
Each of the MLB authenticators do things a little different. Seeing that many of these authentictors are retired police officers, I'm sure that it all comes down to chain of custody (like we do with evidence in policework)
The authenticator needs to see the jersey actually being used and taken from the player. Once it is handed over to him, it is in his custody and he has control over the jersey. I have not seen anything anywhere that says that he needs to authenticate and tag each of these items right then and there.
Chances are the authenticator has a secure area that he can store items that he is waiting for process (or authenticate). Since the items have remained under his control, he can rightly authenticate them as being the items that had been seen and given to him -- even if it was days or weeks prior.
I know we have discussed the authentication process in the past, I just wanted to add this as an possibility and echo Joel's message about not relying on the dates of authentication as the date used.

Re: Derek Jeter Jersey 8D Auction
Joel,
Yes it looks like it matches to those three games. Curious why he only wore it 3 games. Cause looking through his photos, he usually wears the same one for a couple series.

Re: Derek Jeter Jersey 8D Auction
I bought a game used jersey from Steiner where it was unwashed
and can be photomatched to a date after what the MLB hologram states.
This was explained to me as an error by MLB and my Steiner rep at the time
assured me it was getting taken care of but he left the company and
never made good on it. It's not a big deal to me but I had a hard time
explaining to my customer since that makes everything that is MLB
authenticated questionable unless there is a definitive photomatch.
Hope this helps.

Re: Derek Jeter Jersey 8D Auction
Just to add, if I recall the date on the MLB hologram was like 4/6
and the actual date it was used was 4/16 so it was a clerical error
when putting the date into the system. All the jerseys from that session
were the same and Steiner initially assured me by showing me several
other easily photomatched jerseys.
The jersey was authentic so it wasn't a big issue but its hard to
explain to an novice collector.
