Is my Tim Hudson Game Used hat really game used?
 

Hey guys. I don't know much about the game used realm of the hobby. I bought the Tim Hudson A's hat below while he was still playing for Oakland. So I've had it for at least 8 years. I know that Authentic Sports Investments has a pretty shady reputation these days, but like I said I bought this item at least 8 years ago, probably even longer.

My question is, was this hat really game worn or did I get scammed? I'm very confident about the signature, so I feel like it at least has that going for it. The number 15 is written under the bill.

Gamer looks like it's in a different pen, and 7 1/8 is tiny for a man his size. I think the signature is real.

Gamer looks like it was added later with a different pen, and the size tells me it's fake.

Unless someone can confirm 1/8 is his size, I'd be disappointed.

It might be real, lol. Weird gamer looks like different ink. And the size is so small.

I don't know what to think about it. The signature definitely looks real to me. The tags seems to match the only other hat I could find, which you posted. Gamer is in a different ink but maybe he wrote it first before the pen started to fade. Or just pressed harder.
