Re: Lot 339 - 2015 Josh Donaldson Game Used and Signed Toronto Blue Jays Postseason Away Jersey (PSA/DNA)

I sent this to a Goldin rep and then posted this here unfortunately without waiting very long for the auction house to respond and possibly to amend (if they chose to). It was posted and emailed to give them the head's up, not to criticise. The auction house's response has been quick and amendments have been made.

Just thought I should point something out to you, regarding the Donaldson Jays jersey in your current action (pls see link and item listing above).

I am a rabid and long time Jays fan and collector and can tell you with 100% certainty that the road gray Toronto jerseys weren’t worn in the 2015 Jays postseason run.

The Jays only wore their “alternate” jerseys, the dark blues throughout the entire 2015 ALDS and 2015 ALCS, both at home and away. There were only 5 postseason road games played by Toronto in the postseason (Game 3 & 4 of the ALDS in Texas and Games 1, 2 & 6 of the ALCS in KC) and if you look at the following game recap links you will see that the grays were not worn (btw..the photo in the last link is hard for me to view, even now ).

Game 3 ALDS http://www.680news.com/2015/10/13/bl...s-game-3-alds/
Game 4 ALDS http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...alds/73841916/

Game 1 ALCS http://www.thestar.com/sports/blueja...s-tonight.html
Game 2 ALCS http://m.mlb.com/news/article/154785...ys-alcs-game-2
Game 6 ALCS http://wtop.com/mlb/2015/10/royals-r...n-alcs-game-6/

Still a great jersey, and one that was no doubt readied for PS Game use, and possibly used in the regular season prior to being crested for intended use in the PS, but unfortunately couldn’t have seen PS game action.

I am issuing this post as an apology to Goldin Auctions and its consignor of the circa 1912 Babe Ruth catcher’s mitt. I have been shown evidence that proves to my satisfaction that my prior statements on the issue were incorrect. I have, accordingly, withdrawn my prior posts and write to wish Goldin Auctions much success on its auction

Can you comment on what the new evidence is?
