After I bought my Futures game hat, I was thrilled to see that there was video footage of Jose Altuve being mic'd up for that game. The only thing was that the conspicuous white dot that appeared by the Futures logo in the video (at 0:18) was nowhere to be found in the auction pics. When I got the hat, however, I noticed that there was a similar white dot on the other side of the hat that didn't appear in the video either.

From doing comparisons, the folds on the hat seem to indicate that the cap in the video is the cap in my possession. However, I just don't understand how the dot on the hat could have moved sides of his cap. Do players move specks of residue on their hats? Common sense, in my opinion, would be that they do nothing of the sort. Why would they care about something so mundane? Thus, I am left kind of shaking my head. Has anyone else had any similar experience with MLB.com Auctions? There were no other Astros in the Futures game, so this could not be someone else's cap.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
