Why CT Works for Sports Equipment
Signed bats, balls, helmets, and jerseys can hide repairs or counterfeit signatures. CT imaging reveals internal structure, ink penetration, stitching density, and hidden patches. It can detect replaced panels, added materials, or altered surfaces.
Detecting Forgeries
CT exposes density differences caused by added layers or modified stitching.
Preserving Value
Collectors can authenticate items without removing cases or protective coverings.
A New Standard for High End Memorabilia
Auction houses increasingly use CT for premium sports items.
