How can you not know or confirm that this is the only example authenticated? Does JSA not keep records of whether or not something was "game-used?" Even if they don't, wouldn't someone remember seeing such a significant item before? What am I missing?

While I know that Spence does keep photos of exemplars, he probably doesn't keep his info sorted by what medium the signature was on when he does his authentications. If he spent the time going thru all his exemplars, he may have been able to tell a Ty Cobb signature was on a bat, but may not have been able to tell it was on a "gamer". In this case, I think Spence didn't want to be quoted as confirming MEARS statement that this is the first Cobb signed gamer to surface.
