Frank Thomas HOF rookie game worn cap

[stasman]

Just picked this up... A '90-91 Chicago White Sox Frank Thomas game used and signed cap. One of my new favorites

Does PSA or any other company verify game used/ worn items? Although this has a Coa, I was wondering if Psa does it for a fee? Thanks

I know some company will do it, but you have to meet some sort of criteria

If that's an all black cap, the only time they wore those in 1990 were during the last homestand of the season. The standard 1990 style was navy with a red brim. If you want an authentication done, contact me privately t the location shown below.

tags inside the cap consistent with 1990 caps as one factor.

Thanks for the info. Yes, it's all black and from the 90-91 season. I know frank played late his Rookie year. So far it seems to match up as being from his rookie season.

I'm pretty excited...after doing some research and getting info from other members. I am now confident that this is a frank thomas game worn ROOKIE cap. The tagging in the hat makes it from 1990 and the Sox only wore the black caps their last homestead of that year Sept 3-5.
The Big Hurt has always been one of my favorite players and with him going into the HOF this year makes this a Great item of his! Thanks again for all the help members.

Didn't Thomas wear #15 as a rookie?

[bgakladd]

Baseball Almanac shows him wearing both #15 and #35 in 1990.

I can't speak to the cap, but I would suggest sending it to PSA for the autograph, which does NOT look good. I have a dozen of in person signatures of his from that time period and I see 5 bad spots.
