Re: Removing an MLB auth sticker from batting helmet

Then theres the other side of the coin with all of this. I've seen items that were MLB certified game used to a certain date and when you try to do a photo match you find out that you can't because the player obviously is not wearing the certified item on the specified date.
I prefer a prefer a solid photo match over any cert.

This is true, especially if you can find the exact game the MLB hologram is for, but what I was referring to is a random item that someone claims is photomatched with nothing on the item to show a reference date and any photo could be a match, versus an MLB hologram noting it was game used with a specific date. I'd choose the MLB any day over the photo one, and I really don't need a photo if MLB authenticated it as game used to a specific date.

I think you're mistaking photomatch with photo "style" match.

I wouldn't as sticker to me is more than any photo match as photo matching is never 100%, but an MLB holo is worth its weight in gold.

That could not be further than the truth its scary. You know how many mislabeled items I have seen that where the item photomatched to other games? Or holograms removed from one item and placed on another?

MLB holograms are hardly worth their weight in gold.

And no sometimes in fact its just authenticated on that date meaning it could have sat in a laundry bin for months and months IF in fact used. Sometimes other ones slip by. So once again not 100% nor worth its weight in gold.

You are way off-base on this one. Photo evidence is 100% worth its weight in gold. There is no mistaking if and when an item has been used, providing it's a good photo-match. MLB authenticators make mistakes all the time. With photo evidence, the proof is right there.


I am personally not a fan of where authenticators place stickers in most cases. But it's personal preference on if you want it on there if you have the photo-match evidence.
