Derek Jeter Jersey 8D Auction

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.

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.
