The jerseys were supposedly authenticated by Dave Miedema, so my issue isn't really with those. (The pinstripe jersey can actually be photomatched pretty quickly.) The concern is more with the ball and bat. The lot has a disclaimer that JSA doesn't have exemplars from period, so they didn't authenticate the signatures, yet another lot (team signed bats including one bat signed by the 1988 Prince William squad) with Bernie Williams from the same period does have a JSA auction LOA ( http://www.hugginsandscott.com/cgi-bin/showitem.pl?itemid=81710 ).
Bottom bat in the team-signed bats lot:

Williams GU lot:

If anyone has input that could help, I have an initial bid in, so I have a couple hours to decide whether I want to keep fighting for it.
