MLB Authentication Hologram Question

[icollectDCsports]

A while back, there was a discussion here about whether it's possible that a batting helmet with an Official Merchandise hologram (with DB prefix) but no authentication hologram could be legitimately game worn. Does anyone have any experience with this or updated info/opinions on this question? Thanks

Thanks, but I suppose my question then is whether it's possible that a 2008 - 2011 era helmet sold as game worn is as advertised when it merely has the official merchandise but not the authentication sticker. Anyone have helmets from this time frame without authentication sticker that they still know to be game worn?
