MLB Authentication: EK175568

The Orioles are currently auctioning of a home run baseball that is team issued. I have never seen this and was just curious what others thought.

To me I don't like it. While the story in the authentication system is believable I think it shouldn't be allowed. The authenticator is going of what someone else said and if this becomes the norm mistakes could be made.

If this is aloud can teams photomatch and then call it a team issued home run jersey? Can they say they only made one of that type of jersey for a certain player and claim its game used?

I find the whole situation very interesting.
