Won't have em' until March, but picked up two nice items:
Bill Plummer 1976 game used Reds home jersey. TUFF to find these!
Adrian Dantley 1987 game used home Pistons jersey. Tuff to find game used stuff of AD. HOF bound in a month-I hope.

Forgot to mention that I actually scored the Plummer jersey thru an auction in SCD. First time SCD has helped me with a tuff item in about 15 years! (kevin savage cards auction).

Juan Encarnacion SAM bat - ELITE (For those of you wondering, I willl remove the hologram - I do not like the way they appear regardless of the company.) I do not believe there was any shill bidding going on with this auction.

Let me know how successful you are at taking off the hologram. I have one I want to remove off a bat, but I don't want to leave any residue.

Do you think heating it up with a blowdryer would help?

Let me know
Thanks

I realize this March. But, I picked these up at the end of Febuary. Had picture issues with my desk top. So,I couldn't locate the file(s). Thanks to me transferring the pics to my new laptop, I was able to locate years worth of pics including these new ones. I will thank Carl (thome25.com) for this purchase. I am working on a greater deal with him. I will post the pics when they arrive. Lmk if there are any members with Thome stuff for sale. Roger:D

My Feb pickups were one collapsed business building, and March so far a tilt test and proposed heart cath!! Nothing to report collectibles wise - maybe next month!!! Always looking for vintage 68 and 84 Tiger GU bats, uncracked...

Won it in Feb but it was delivered today. GU lineup card from Clay Buchholz MLB debut and 1st victory- signed by M Scioscia. Won it on MLB auctions for $150. The Angels handled the auction perfectly, processing the payment right away, calling me the next day to confirm the shipping address and supplying a team LOA. I tried to secure a card from this game through Steiner shortly after the game was played but they never received it. I was told that the manager usually gives it to the player and that was probably what happened. Was willing to pay a lot more for it.

Have a feeling it was between me and one other Reds fan, not to many other people would want his bat that bad these days. Has some use on it, wonder if it could be that great year as a Starter with the Reds.

2007 Utah Jazz home jersey used in the pre-season by former Gator Donnell Harvey. If you look closely at the tag, you'll notice they issued him a leftover 2004-2005 jersey.

Great pickup! If you want the matching away jersey, Steiner has it on their site - but for $2500 :eek: . Is there a lot of wear on the Zibby jersey? I couldn't tell from the photos nor the original auction listing.

Glad to see another ND collector on the board. The member named "genius" also has posted some nice ND items in the past, especially his vintage 1980s jersey from the Faust era.

Can you take a photo of the cigarette pouch? I didn't even know jerseys were designed like that? Did a lot of people who played ball smoke as well? IDK, but I thought ballplayers just used spit tobacco, not cigarettes.

Thanks! I have not received it yet, auction just closed a couple days ago. While I paid more than I would have liked it was a lot less than the $2500 for the away jersey from steiner!!! I will post pics of wear when I receive the jersey- based on how he plays I am hoping for a lot of good wear on it! I also have a Jeff Samardzija 2006 away jersey (steiner) and a bunch of autographed stuff (2006 Team Helmet and tons of pics).

I am always looking for more ND stuff!!!

i think i know where you got the zibby navy blue notre dame jersey from... dont get me wrong but i think its 2006 , not the 2007 jersey unless you did asked ???
AND YES you got it much cheaper than the steiners, as you saved over 50% !!!! CONGRATS by the way you beated me for the zibby jersey LOL
let me know
thanks :)

03-12-2008, 12:09 PM
Thanks! The auction said it was the 2007 jersey not 2006, but either way I dont care.

As far as where I got it, no big secret, Notre Dame has its own auction site for game-used equipment, etc. Its at http://und.cstvauctions.com/gallery.cfm

So that brings me to a quick ND question- how many jerseys does each player go through in a given year? Anybody know?

that is the reason why i mentioned that the jersey could be from 2006 because i won a ND #49 blue jersey from cstv auction and it was titled as notre dame game used 2007 #49 blue jersey. but it was tagged 06-42. I would think the notre dame fans will rather the 2006 ND jerseys than 2007 ND jerseys

dcgreg25 -

Talk about grabbing the best of the best jerseys from recent ND stars - Zibby and the Shark. Nice work. If you have a specific want list of ND stuff, let me know, and I'll keep you posted if I come across any of the stuff. Alternatively, if you decide to move stuff, let me know (I saw your Bobby Taylor Eagles listed in the for sale section, and was tempted).

As for your other question, my understanding (I don't know this for a fact) is that they previously issued 2 home and 2 away in each mesh style (aka they used to use an open mesh weave and a micro or closed mesh weave when they had champion jerseys). However, given the fact that the university is actively selling jerseys now through both Steiner and CSTV, I would not be surprised if more exist for each player (maybe 3 home, 3 away + special issues like the green). Also, I think the players can buy at least one of their home jerseys (I believe the seniors are still given one of their home jerseys), and I know they get their bowl jerseys to keep (at least they have in recent past).

Marcus -
I do not believe Notre Dame is currently recycling jerseys given the fact that they are so active in selling them these days. I bet the jersey you got was used in 2006, and the auction listing it as 2007 was a mistake. Frankly, I think the CSTV auction listings leave a LOT to be desired, so mistakes like that would not surprise me. However, ND did recycle jerseys as recently as early 2000 for sure, and may still - but I don't think it is as likely now.

yeah i didnt say Notre Dame is recycling the 2006 jerseys for 2007 season, and what i was trying to say is that the title on cstv auction was wrong and i got the 2006 #49 jersey, i was glad it was notre dame 2006 jersey.....not the 2007 jersey !beavisrules, you are right they do make mistake on cstv auctions and i was also surprised that steiners sent notre dame game jerseys to cstv and they went really lower than what they listed on the steiners.com or steiners auction.

beavisrules- Thanks for the compliment and the info on jerseys- very helpful! I am hoping to photomatch the Tom Z. jersey if there are enough marks/wear on it.

I am interested in any game used items from ND players (pro or college) but some of my favorites are Chris Zorich, Rickey Watters, Reggie Brooks, Tom Carter, Todd Lyghtt, Rocket Ismail, Jeff Sam. and Jerome Bettis.

I have some ND stuff I might move like a game-breaker collage signed by Tim Brown and Rocket and some Anthony Johnson game used shoes from his time with the Colts. Let me know what you are looking for and I will let you know what I find. Feel free to e-mail me at gregguy@hotmail.com

Picked up this great Jack Clark bat gamer from Scott Sweet @gamebats...
Interesting model - D123...fat handle, long shaft and big barrel. Knob is almost non-existent. It is an 85-89 bat, and it has the typical red paint on it that most Cards bats have from the Old Busch batbox...not 100% though.

It looks like there was some tape around the barrel at some point, so it was likely a BP bat, but Oh well - I loved Clark as a kid, and for the price it was god for me - filled a big hole in my collection.

Check it out:

It is the bat that "Won the West" and Vladi the 2004 MVP. The seller used to have an Angel's blog and this bat was pictured there. I always admired it and never thought he would sell it. When he did, I jumped all over it.

Excellent find! I know you've been looking for a Hanks for awhile. I am really happy for ya.

Well -

Here it is...the bat I have been waiting for. Has zero use - not important. Personally, all that matters is that it is a game model and the inscription.
Whiten was very exciting in STL and had his breakout (and best) offensive season here. I was a far greater fan of his arm. Cards fans were spoiled with the arm of McGee - who had an absolute hose from center...but Whiten came with a Howitzer. Thanks to my buddy Bill (Redbird64) for the assist.

:eek: WOW!! What a horrible auction. Wrong title, wrong category, not one part of it being listed as game used. All the ingredients to make a bargain!

Just picked this up. The Preston Wilson era has long been forgotten in STL, but this bat is still pretty desirable - I am sure other Cards bat collectors will agree. Sweet slab ' wood. Thanks Tim @ HOF bats.

Picked up a Juan Miranda game used Marucci bat last night

Bat was broken during a Spring Training Minor League game on Friday

It is in 2 pieces but I plan on repairing it after I get it

I will put up better pics when I get the bat

Here are pics that I got from the guy I traded with:

It's sad that we "steal" these treasures from people who don't know what they have or long time collectors that have to give it up. eBay is horrible sometimes.

Do your homework...Knowledge is power and everybody hopefully is lucky enough to stumble on an item cheaply every once in awhile.I have been lucky a few times.I do not spend hours and hours learning the ins and outs to let someone know what they have.They are the seller that is there job.

I have to disagree, and steal is the wrong word.

When someone is selling something for $15, and they get $15 or more, I'm sure they are satisfied.

One of the most exciting things for me is finding those rare pieces that someone is selling, and aren't familiar with what they have.

Now, lying to someone in order to get it, then I agree.

1999 V. Guerrero L.S. Lots of Black Ink Transfers & Heavy Seam Marks, Both sides of Barrel. Has 5-6 Good Red Transfers also. Is this possibly an All-Star used Bat? I`ve searched Getty, Corbis, Icon & can only find 1 pic of him, standing in the "line-up" Any ideas of other sites to find All-Star pics???

Got a from pitcher Otey Clark of the Louisville Colonels of the American Association. Hat dates between 1946 and 1947. Otey was the first professional ballplayer I ever met as he lived not very far from me when I was a kid.

To be sure it was his hat I sent Otey pictures of it. He confirmed that it is indeed his old hat. Lucky for me he would write his name inside his hats. It was pretty easy for him to say it was his based upon seeing his handwritten name.

Thanks for the hat Rob!

Just got this in today.....it's a birthday present from my parents for my 18th birthday.....Willy Taveras game worn 2006 Dominican Republic WBC jersey. My favorite part of the jersey is the blood stains :D . Once I get the DVD from the game it came from (March 12th vs. Puerto Rico) I'll hopefully get some nice photomatches and figure out where the blood came from.

Broncos Riley Odoms 1978 home jersey - it was listed incorrectly on Ebay so I got it for a song!

I've also included a picture of the inside of the sleeve showing how the v cut was reinforced.

Couple of nice broken bats from the Orioles/Pirates minor league game today in Sarasota. The McCutchen was awesome to get, glad I got him to sign it too. :D

I also got a Louisville Slugger Pro Model that was broken as well, I dunno who's it was though. Not much wear on it.
