For game used, the MLB authenticators are well known to very careful with hologramming and cataloging and go by what they first person observe at the game. A complaint is a game used item will be often be cataloged in the database as game issued (a game used item is also game issued), because the authenticator at the game didn't see it directly come off the player's back. This is just a side effect of them being so careful and writing down only what they first person observe, and their job not being to speculate or accept third person stories. Many of these items cataloged as game issued are later photo matched as game used.

MLB, UDA and Steiner autographs usually get a premium in price over later opinion JSA & PSA LOAs, because the first three are in person/at the time. UDA Mickey Mantle signed balls are the ones that get the big bucks.
