Dave miedema.

To authenticate the hat or the auto?

[stasman]

Just the hat. If the hats legit, I'm taking it to the March show to have frank sign it personally.

[stasman]

Great news!!!! the hat was authenticated by Dave as being Frank Thomas's Rookie game worn hat... Next up..bringing it to the show in Chicago and having Frank see it and sign it again.

Do you not believe the signature under the brim is not authentic? Are you going to have him sign next to the old signature? Congrats on the authentication!

[stasman]

Thanks. I am so excited to own my favorite player and HOF'ers Rookie hat. I believe the auto is good ( because like Dave said) why would you fake an auto on a real hat. I want to show Frank and now have his rookie auto and HOF auto on the same item.

Your true test will come when you go head to head with "The Big Hurt". I would love to see the look on his face when you present it to him to get signed. If you can, make sure to get a picture with him holding the hat. You will be thankful later. Congrats.

[stasman]

Definitely!!!! A picture of Frank holding his rookie hat. Priceless.
