It’s amazing to me that these “great” uniforms keep popping up, and then they almost always relate to a significant moment in that player’s career. How is that determined—photo matching. I think it would be really interesting if a study was done as to how accurate photo matching is. My guess is that it is no more accurate than card grading, and possibly as inaccurate as autograph grading.
What percentage of the single signed Babe Ruth balls were actually signed by Babe Ruth? I started to wonder that when it seemed every auction had several if not more.
