Frank Thomas HOF rookie game worn cap

[stasman]

PAC, all the tagging and stitching matches 1990 Sox hats. It has now been authenticated twice and BPH obtained it directly from a clubhouse attendant who had the hat in his possession since 1990. It might not photo match the hat at the time of a photo, but it's COA, LOA and chain of custody are solid.

The hat is dirty and soiled, and if he only wore it for 6 games and the clubhouse guy got it and stored it properly this is what I would think it would look like. I'm confident this is Franks Rookie Worn cap. If anybody knows of another way to authenticate a 1990 cap, please let me know. I guess 3 coa's would be better then 2. But I'm very happy with my 2 COA and LOA.

Stasman-How much do you want for the hat........cash.....no questions asked

Hi Chess. I'm so excited to have this, I don't think I could sell it. I've been a small time collector for almost 30 years and this may just be the " holy grail" of my collection. I've always heard stories about great autograph card pulls or finding a rare item at a flea market, well, I think this was my incredible find. I know it's not a million dollar piece, but for my wife and I being Big Hurt fans his whole career, we are very excited to own this. I believe it could be the only Rookie Thomas hat out there.

Sorry GUCollector. Just excited to have this.

Don't pay attention or give hateful people the satisfaction. This thread is interesting.

I agree with Roady on this one.

He has had 2 people whom have been in the business longer than most of us check it out. The 2 people have actually held the hat and looked it over not just through a CPU screen. If there was any concern it would have been raised already by those 2.

I say enjoy your grail. Bring it to Frank have him take a look at it. Even if you get something else signed you can still show it to him.

Oh fellows I am not hateful. Just cant believe we are about to hit the big #100 posts about a Frank Thomas hat. Honestly, its a fine item... I would love to add a gem like this to my collection one day. Hope we can dig up a photo match soon!

Thanks Phil316.
