I am still working on evaluating the Pujols jersey and will let you know our findings when I have completed my research.

I have not yet received an e-mail with the results of Hunt's research on the 2001 Pujols jersey, but the jersey has been withdrawn from the auction. The bidding already had exceeded $2,100. Kudos to Hunt for following up and taking the appropriate action.

Heard from Cheryl this morning. Seems they didn't reject the 2001 Pujols jersey on its own merits; it was the LOA that didn't stand up to scrutiny:

After working with the Cardinal Care Foundation we are all in agreement that the letter from them is bogus. We have not spent any time at this point going back and figuring out exactly what is the accurate representation for the jersey. The bogus letter was suspect enough to pull the jersey. We will suggest to our consigner that they may want to re-submit the jersey for a more rigorous authentication to determine exactly what he has.

I like her comment about resubmitting the jersey for a "more rigorous authentication."

I asked Hunt's for pics of tags on the 2001 McGwire other day; no reply.

What is really pathetic is that several of these auction companies expect the buyer to drop what amounts to serious cash on game worn jersey's and other game used and yet they provide you with two pictures or sometimes one in the writeup. I applaud the Auction Houses that actually take the time to put a full array of pics in from day one. It just seems kind of ridiculous that you would not take the time to snap a number of pics of the tail tagging on jersey's, any wash tags, etc. I wonder how many request are made once these auctions are in progress for additional pics? It must not be as many as we think since they never take the time to do it right from day one.

Yea, count me out unless I see some pics. Not even a courtesy email saying they'd get to it... Whatever.

I generally think Hunt is a great auction house although I have never purchased anything from them. They just don't provide enough photos.
