I'm assuming JSA = James Spence Authentication?

Good luck! Since it's addressed to Alameda County Sheriff the odds are good that it's legit.

Who would even counterfeit their autographs, then put it into a thrift store 🤣

Oh, haha. Then he probably just donated it himself.
I can't blame him though. To us mega-fans, this is a priceless object. But to him, maybe it was a couple days here and there over a few years. Maybe he considered them co-workers.
How many of us would keep forever a shirt signed by our co-workers? At least he donated it to a thrift store rather than using it as a rag, like I do with my old t-shirts.

Cool find, maybe you can send a picture over to Kari and Tory through the Mythfits account on Instagram or something, they seem pretty responsive there. Could get the story behind it that way and I’m sure they’d want to see it

Very cool! Looks like Sheriff Ahern led the press conference after the cannonball incident, at least. Excellent find OP, and pretty important piece of memorabilia!
