The Mets are selling Pete Alonso autographed baseballs in their Amazin' Memorabilia store at Citi Field for $150.

In addition to the MLB authentication hologram, the balls also have a Fanatics hologram. That surprised me, because even though he did sign with Fanatics, I'd presume any signed material with a MLB hologram would have been done under MLB supervision and direction, without Fanatics involvement - so no Fanatics hologram would be needed.

Is it possible that the presence of a Fanatics hologram on an MLB-authenticated item would be a contractual requirement?
