[accidental]

Thanks for your messages.

Yes, the Seaver hat certainly has more credible provenance than both the Dodgers hats, plus it becomes much more difficult to date KM hats in the 60s and 70s.
I also think that the Hodges hat in the Goldin auction is most likely the real deal. It's just not from 1957 and for me that makes a huge difference and it may also make a difference for a potential buyer.

I do have all the proper evidence to prove what I'm saying of course, but I'm simply unwilling to share it publically, as it took a lot of time, effort and money to acquire it.

I have no interest in these auctions whatsoever, I'm really just tired of seeing things listed as something they are not, when all it takes is a little effort and diligent research. There are in my opinion however, some telltale signs that any authenticator should recognize that help date these hats.
