P.S. - Kyle, That MLBTV.com photo imaging is INSANE!!!

Chris - I sent your $33 payment this morning, and Chris H. has received his and Kyle's is waiting in his account.

Thanks again to you guys!

Very interesting thread. There's such a wealth of visual information available today. By contrast, I haven't been able to turn up much in the way of visual matching for a Pujols bat from 2001 -- only eight short years ago.

Just shows how far things have come. Good news for future authenticators, collectors, and historians.

Even though we didn't get a photomatch, I am still going to pay out the $100 split in threes and need your email address to PayPal so please email me. I have already paid out to Kyle Hess and Chris H. who also were great!!!!

I am getting another Pujols so will need help on that one too!!!

Thanks again teammates!!!

Always the class act.

Reid - Thanks, I am so impressed by those that are always willing to help.

I think the photomatch is the best LOA you can get even if you get it direct from the athlete.

I love some of these 2009 bats where the MLB Authenticator is giving inning the bat was used so with Kyle's video match it would be cool to add that to a paper LOA.

I think Chris should employ Kyle to run a photomatch division and issue GUU LOA's!!!

Boy, isn't that the truth Chris. By way of example, I posted a few choice auction house listings, all of them for Pujols' rookie gamers:

Mystery solved. HR Bat used on May 1st 2009

The authenticator confirmed this was the bat Pujols went 3 for 4 with and a Home Run!!!!!


Hologram number BB942889 was located in the MLB Authentication Database under GAME-USED BAT.

Ok... what does everyone think...

one and two are from the 7th inning… 3 and 4 are from the HR at bat in the first
