Re: Comments on Albert Pujols hat up for auction?
No I agree,
But unless you want to trust a bat with just characteristics today, or something that has some source of documentation, signed by him etc. Im going with the second option... as we have seen with anything, almost any company cares little to less on when/ how a bat was used in case of ball players. Do you think every bat that steiner distributed of Jeter was used in the "regular season", doubt it. I doubt they ever kept track of anything before MLB. The question becomes minimize your chances of a bogus item, and for Albert, this was as close as it got next to the PFF... The reason Im currently selling my item is I really cant stand the comments his wife made on the radio, off the record.

Re: Comments on Albert Pujols hat up for auction?
The bigger issue is the disorganization of these signings or companies that distribute items. I have had at least 3-4 instances the past year where I have purchased an Item I was contacted about.... sent photos, called, confirmed a purchase... and was sent the wrong item in which, when I sent the other item back... it was no longer available. No joke, 3-4 times this year...
Nothing surprises me anymore.

Did you read it?

If you sympathize with this hardship then god bless you. I had my family doctors wife die of a sudden heart attack at the age of 50 yesterday, and then I read this? Please.

Re: Comments on Albert Pujols hat up for auction?
You're taking this out of context. Of course, in a broader sense, you shouldn't assume "issued" means "used" just because use is evident. My blog comment pertained only to items being offered by the Cardinals in silent and live auctions at last year's Winter Warm Up, nothing more. I know the "store" at the Warm Up has sold many issued jerseys through the years, but those items selected for the auctions have historically been hand picked for a reason. The point of my comment was to tell Cardinals collectors that they're no longer going to receive letters from the team saying items were game used (as was the practice for years), but that the items will have holograms that match to a database that will likely tell them the item was "issued"... and here's reason the database won't say "used." This practice was very confusing to people when it started. I was simply trying to explain that those items once labeled "used" would no longer be called "used" because of the new practice -- so don't freak out when you enter the hologram number and see your bat or jersey is "issued."

Re: Comments on Albert Pujols hat up for auction?
Guys, lets try to keep this on-topic as this is a useful conversation for collectors. If you guys want to dispute the comments made by Albert's wife, feel free to open a thread in the General Sports discussion or take it up online. Again, the purpose of the forum is to help collectors educate eachother, let's leave it at that.

Re: Comments on Albert Pujols hat up for auction?
Also Spartanservitto, do you think the hat being a size 7 3/8 is no reason to worry? Just curious because most hats I have seen were size 7 1/2 or 7 1/4.
buy them online since each one fits VERY different even if its the same size.
I either buy a 7 1/4 or 7 3/8. I will buy a bit bigger in the summer since when
sweat dries the cap tends to shrink a bit.
I was told by the workers at LIDS that because they are hand-stitched so no
two fit exactly alike.
Hope this information helps.
