Frank Thomas HOF rookie game worn cap

[Chess2899]

I concur with the autograph. It doesn't look good to me. Of course, I don't know if his rookie autograph was different.

His rookie auto is a lot different then today. I've seen similar autos of his from the 1990's.

Here's a 1990 photo of Frank wearing the black Sox cap

Is this a photo match to yours?

[stasman]

Really hard to tell. This is him in the dugout in 1990. I'm trying to find a photo of the other side of his hat. My hat has a seam separation,I could match if I find a photo of the other side

Frank Thomas will be at the March Show in Chicago. I have his H.S. Yearbook, maybe I will pay to have him sign the yearbook then show him the hat and see what he says.

I would just give him the hat as a gift. He would appreciate having it for his grandkids down the road. It is better to give than receive.

Signature is definitely wonky.

I think the sig is auth based on the 35 that is on the hat and the 35 Frank wrote in his sig. Look at how the top of the 3 starts on both and also the top of the 5. I'm no handwriting expert but the stroke to create both seem to match.

My only concern might be the size. That seems awfully small for Thomas.......

You're just kidding right?
