Now that is pretty cool. What was the backstory on driving 90 miles? Did the seller had it advertised and you made the drive or someone gave you a lead? I like various teams on the hat.[/QUOTE]
It was a facebook listing that was not well described. Just "baseball memorabilia." The main picture showed the hat tag. It was hard to tell what the guy was selling from the main listing. No description of Jackie Robinson or Babe Ruth. The seller was in a very small rural Texas town. Not where I would expect to find something so NY. The price made it a really good deal. Not a steal (the guy had done some research), but a very good deal for sure.
