The problem I have always had with caps is most are so generic and difficult to photomatch. On this Strasburg cap, there was an imperfection in the lefthand side of the cap and I was able to get a Hi Res photo!

I was thinking the same thing! I was told he wore this from his debut game to the All Star break so there is some great history to it.

I have a huge cap collection and that is the only one with that imperfection as I was trying to match up my Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman with no luck.

The sweat marks were really nice too and his hat sizing (large head) and the way his caps are numbered are unique as most of the players have their #'s written on the underside of the bill on the forehead side.

Andrew,

If you have Dunn's cap I love to put it with the full uni you sold me last year.

Andrew,

Awesome cap. Nice photomatch.

I don't mean to hi-jack your thread, but you stated that you have a huge GU cap collection. If you have any Blue Jays caps that you're willing to part with, please let me know.

any chance of getting it signed?I don't like running after signatures in the ballpark or parking lots as the signatures are sometimes awful, so I think it would have to be at a public or private signing to make sure the sig is crisp.

I am stockpiling items. I have some game used balls, a strikeout ball, a lineup card, Sports Illustrated covers, and working on getting a game used jersey so I should have nice items to do my own small signing.

Stras pitches tonight so hopefully he has a great outing!

Andrew - I was out at the park last night and it was certainly a very tough night. Hot and humid beyond belief - topped off by a bad outing from our superstar.

If you do get a private signing together, I'm up for sending in a few photographs.

HI Andrew...I assume that your cap is a BP cap, right? If not, it looks as if the HOF has Stras' debut cap. http://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/baseball-hall-adds-dozens-of-items/

Yes, this is his BP cap. This cap was worn up to the All Star break and certainly was a lucky photomatch!
