Default Randy Johnson 1988 rookie era game used hat

Definitely not prewar, but this another holy grail type item for my collection. I also posted this in the game used forum.

This is a 1988 rookie era game used hat of The Big Unit as he was just launching his terrific HOF career.

As many of you know, Johnson ended up his 21 year HOF career with 4875 K's (second only to Nolan Ryan's standard of 5,714 K's), 2 no hitters (including a perfect game), 303 wins, 5 Cy Young's, 6 seasons of over 300 K's (tied with Ryan for the ML record), a 20 K game, 2 19 K games.

Johnson only appeared in a grand total of 11 games during 1988 and 1989 with Montreal before he was traded to the Seattle Mariners making this Expos hat extremely rare. Randy's name and uni number are penned in his own hand and the hat shows nice use for one of the best left handers to ever take the mound.
