    Very cool. I may have left it as is after he confirmed it instead of him signing it again, but everyone is different.

      Good for you. Goes to show some "experts" are not experts after all.

        That's good news!!.....I always thought the autograph was legit. Enjoy the moment, after all the debate about the hat and signature you now know for sure. Treasure it!

          They posted a pick of Frank signing this hat on the Fanatics Authentic Shows Facebook page.

            He really liked it. Confirmed it to be his rookie hat and when I told him that a lot of people said the auto wasn't his he said it definitely was his because that's when he was spelling out his name.. He the took the hat and said I'll sign it again.. He then signed it a added GU 1990. He really wanted me to contact the HOF... That would be cool. I've never owned something worthy of being in the Hall.

              I even posted his old autograph and it was the same.
              I never had any doubt it was legit.

                I am considering loaning some of my Greg Maddux rookie items for the HOF. I think it would be cool to loan your rookie Thomas hat for the ceremony. They will stick your name on it and I guess you could tell your friends you are in the Hall of Fame.

                  For myself, I buy items for my enjoyment. My collection stays with me.
                  If I did loan it out to the HOF it would be short term and I would make sure it would be returned to me.

                    I'm just really excited to know 100% this is his Rookie game hat. He has been one of my favorite players and to have an item from his Rookie year is awesome.

                          That is so awesome I think it would be cool if you lent it to the hall of fame maybe you could get tickets from them for his induction in return for you lending them the hat for a certain amount of time

                            Can you put up a pic of the newly signed area of the hat for us to see??

                              There's the 1990 rookie auto and today he signed it and added GU 1990. PSA/DNA also authenticated it.

                                I know the double auto is odd, but he wanted to double sign it.. I think that was pretty cool. He wanted to show the difference in his auto from a Rookie to HOF.
