I recently purchased a game used World Series baseball from a game that I had been looking for a long time. I had checked the online MLB Authentication page before purchasing and was away from home so I could not match it up to my DVD of the game.

When watching the DVD of the game, I noticed what I felt was a discrepancy from the authentication description. I searched on this forum if others had similar issues and who to contact (authentication@website.mlb.com). It seemed like they were not always the most responsive, but I figured I would give it try anyway.

I was not expecting a quick response, but within less than 2 hours, I was emailed back and they fixed the discrepancy. Thought I would share my success story that at least one person working there does care and takes the time.

Nice! It's sometimes "hit and miss" whether you get a response or not. You definately picked the right day to do it! Most of the time, they're more than willing to make the correction(s).

You have to wonder if they prioritize inquiries based on importance too. Since it's a WS ball, it may shoot to the top. Any other regular season game for an "average team" may not get that kind of response. Good work though. Glad you got it corrected.
