September Pick-Ups

[ironmanfan]

I know we have one last day in August, but after 160 plus great posts for August, I thought I'd get September started with this...

Directly from Cal Ripken Jr.'s personal collection (and now in mine) is the "400 Home Run" jersey that the Orioles presented to him in a ceremony shortly after he hit his 400th Career Home Run in September 1999.

[thomecollector]

That is awesome !did you have to but it ? Or did he give it to you?:D

[gameused]

Here's some new Red Sox additions:

Jacoby Ellsbury Sam bat-07 (seam/ball marks, handle crack)
Manny Ramirez SSK bats-08 (hammered with deep seam/ball marks)
Manny Ramirez BM "Tamazawa" (seam marks/ink transfers)
Josh Beckett LVS (seam marks/ink transfers)

I was able to photo match the Manny Ramirez "Tamazawa" bat and the Josh Beckett LVS, will post pics of the matches later.

Thanks, Bobby

[maccamania]

Those bats are Beautys !!! If you ever sell the Ellsbury, let me know. Thanks

[kingjammy24]

spent 2 years trying to get this particular one.

Rudy,
That's a real nice Jays jersey with some great wear. Devon White was one of the more graceful outfielders. What would you value a Blue Jays Molitor or Henderson from that era at?

Nice jersey! By any chance would you know if that White jersey was from the 2001 auction the Jays had?

[Aksflyest]

Bobby,

Those manny bats are awesome! If you ever sell one of those SSK bats let me know:) I've been looking for an SSK or Sam bat covered in Tar like that but seem to have no damn luck!

[godwulf]

Museoven....

Any suggestions as to how others who are interested in "finding" such items might go about doing it?...short of taking a trip to Venezuela, I mean.

I'd love to "find" anything game-used from Yusmeiro Petit, Miguel Montero, Alberto Callaspo, Wilfred Ledezma, and former Major Leaguers Alex Cabrera and Omar Daal.

I'm sure you're not looking to generate competition for the items you really want for yourself, but is there a source for such items that you wouldn't mind divulging?

[cards-bats]

MUSEOVEN...

Could you please send me an e-mail at:

I have a question about the Caracus Tigres.

Thanks!

Marcus Giles' gnarly 2008 Padres lid. I showed this to my wife while she was making dinner and she told me to keep it away from the food. Who doesn't like a little pine tar with their enchiladas?

2006 Timo Perez St. Louis Cardinals jersey worn by Timo Perez with the new Busch Stadium Inaugural Season patch. This one I didn't really need but I thought I might wear it to the park. We'll see. It may end up on the Classifieds board.

rickey henderson jays jerseys are an interesting thing. there's a lot of variation between his jays jerseys and i think prices would vary accordingly. henderson was traded to the jays on july 31, 1993. (basically as a hired gun to help them win the '93 world series). when he arrived, turner ward had #24 so henderson was temporarily issued #14. when mid/late-season callups/trades occurred with the jays in those days, they'd be issued spare jerseys that were tagged with just the year instead of the typical uniform number/year/set. so i'd have to think that when henderson arrived on july 31, he was given #14 jerseys with spare-style tagging. then on august 13, henderson paid turner ward $25k for #24. upon receiving #24, i'm not sure if the jays whipped up a couple of spare-tagged jerseys for him or if henderson/ward let the jays know ahead of time that the deal was brewing and to order some fully-tagged jerseys from wilson. from photos i've seen of henderson wearing #24, i could tell he was wearing fully-tagged jerseys. the nicest jays henderson gamer i ever saw was a fully tagged world series gamer. it was custom-hemmed. i'm guessing that one would go for $3500+.
#14 henderson jays gamer - i'd want one only with spare tagging, no full tag. these were only worn for a few games before henderson got his #24. i'm guessing maybe around $2k.
#24 henderson jays gamer - personally, i'd only want a fully-tagged version AND it'd have to show the custom hem. maybe around $3k.

his jays gamers might possibly go for more than his A's gamers simply because there are far fewer of them out there. unlike his mets, dodgers, and red sox gamers, henderson was still in his prime in 1993. the only year he played for the jays was 1993. 1993 jays gamers are substantially more difficult to find than early 90s A's gamers. even though rickey is an Athletic through and through, the complete lack of henderson jays gamers at a time when he was still considered in his prime would result in a premium for them. not to mention, henderson's clearly a first ballot HOF'er and will be inducted next year. as well, his jays gamers should come with jays certs which add substantially to the price over many the A's henderson shirts that are seen with no team certs or even player provenance.

henderson was custom hemming his tails during his yankees days and obviously when he was with the jays and yet i've never seen a single A's jersey of his with the custom hem. very, very odd.

as for molly, he played for the jays from 93-95 so there are more of his gamers out there than for henderson. i'm guessing one of his jays gamers would go for around $1600. heritage auctioned off a very nice 1995 molitor jays gamer that came straight from duane ward's personal collection. it had a personal inscription from molitor to ward. i don't remember what it sold for.

keep in mind i'm not a dealer so maybe my prices are off. at the end of the day, as a collector you pay whatever you feel you're comfortable with to acquire the item. if you want it badly enough, you'll pay more than someone who doesn't care for it as much.

rudy.

[kingjammy24]

Nice jersey! By any chance would you know if that White jersey was from the 2001 auction the Jays had?

i don't believe it came from the 2001 auction. i purchased it from a dealer in so.cal who purchased it from the jays.

Rudy,
I enjoyed reading your post in regards to your knowledge of Henderson gamers. Like yourself, I collect mainly Henderson A's, Yanks, and Jays jerseys and caps. Only seldom will I go after his later multiple team items. Of the many Rickey A's jerseys I've had over the years, I've only seen a few with a cut of the tail. I won't use the term, "custom hemmed" because it was a crude scissor cut just below the tagging probably made by Rickey himself. Most notably is a home white 1991. Not the ever present no wear 1991, Set 1's that you always see on Ebay and other auction sites. This one had serious wear and you could see the remnants of the 91 All-Star patch on the sleeve. Obviously he used it during and after the All Star game as well. A truly awesome gamer. Another cut jersey was a 82 Wilson number 35 jersey. The style with the letter "A" on the front. So they are out there. The good Yankee jerseys were always hemmed in the front. Some have a tapered tag. Some, but not all of his Seattle and Mets jerseys are cut. I wouldn't avoid a good Henderson shirt if it didn't have this tailoring however. And you're right, that Jays WS jersey is a beauty. Probably the one he was wearing on 2nd base when Joe Carter hit the winning HR. If you ever have any items to sell, please let me know. Again, thanks for the insight!

hey dan

that '91 gamer sounds amazing. one thing i've always wondered about rickey's 90s gamers was what the proper size should be. i've seen 42s and 44s and i'm not sure which would be correct for 1990-93. any ideas? what size was your '91 gamer? also, i'm not sure if rickey took the same size in his 1990 and 1991 rawlings (a's) jerseys as he did in his 1992 and 1993 russells (a's) and 1993 wilson (jays). i imagine different brands fit slightly differently.

Rudy,
I believe all of the Henderson jerseys from that era 90-93 were 42s. Later on he began wearing 44s and even 46 on some Majestics. There are cut Dodgers jerseys with his own COA that show a 6200 wash tag, which pretty much destroys the myth that only 0062s are game worn. Yes, different brands definetely fit differently. But most, if not all the jerseys, buth pullovers and button downs from 1980 until at least 93 have been 42s. Just beware of all those 91 Set 1's out there. There were a lot made up but they show 0 wear. And after seeing that cut 91 jersey with the All-star patch remains and serious heavy wear, I think (and this is just my thinking) that Rickey wore this jersey almost exclusively for most of the season. Any other shirt worn he may have kept since it's from a record breaking year.

2 things:

1) the '93 WS henderson gamer that we saw is a size 44.

2) in sotheby's halper auction catalog there's a 1990 henderson home gamer. it comes with a letter written by henderson that reads: "To: Mr. Barry Halper - This 1990 Oakland A's jersey was worn by Henderson on May 29, 1990 when Rickey stole his 893rd base, breaking Ty Cobb's American League record.. - Rickey Henderson". it's a size 44. (with "1 90" strip tag).

3) 1993 henderson jays road gamer - size 44 - http://www.lelands.com/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=63905

4) 1993 henderson jays home gamer with jays loa - size 44 - http://www.lelands.com/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=55240

here's an interesting one. it's from 1993: http://www.lelands.com/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=65911
it's a size 42. him taking a 44 in 1990 and a 42 in 1993 doesn't make much sense to me.

lots of confusion over 42 vs 44.

Rudy,
You are correct about the 1993 WS jersey, I should have looked before posting. "24 93 1" in the collar. I even looked in my Halper catalog at the 1990 jersey, right you are again. The 3 90's I am familiar with however, including a post seaon jersey are all 42's. I understand your statement about the confusion over 42 and 44 sizing, however since they are close to each other as opposed to a 42 and a 50 for instance, I don't see a real concern for future purchasing purposes. I appreciate your knowledge and great insight. Obviously they are more well informed Henderson collectors out there than I! Thanks.

Just picked up a game worn Gerald Riggs jersey. Included in the package was a pair of pants and socks. I am not so sure the pants and socks were worn by Riggs but the jersey is awesome.

The jersey was made by Russell and is a size 46. The NOB had individual letters sewn onto a nameplate while the numbers, Falcons logos and sleeve stripes are heat-pressed. There are a few team repairs and the back #4 on the jersey has been signed by Riggs.

Great jersey; that era was always my favorite for the Falcons.

I don't think the pants or socks would have been worn by Riggs; during his tenure with the team (1982-1988) the pants stripes were reversed (outer stripes were red, the middle stripe was black) and the socks were plain.

Those pants are from 1989 or later (when the Falcons switched to black helmets and jerseys) and the socks appear to be from when they do throwbacks to the 1970s (maybe from the 1994 75th Anniversary home throwbacks).

I dont think its a match, only because I cant seem that long, looped dark grain that goes from the centerbrand to the end....maybe its just the light or angle...

Just picked this baby up today. Made by Rawlings Ra-tex, this awesome durene jersey has plenty of hits and repairs. The sleeves have been trimmed.

I'll be starting my research later this evening but my initial thoughts are it may be a Bears or Syracuse jersey from the 50's.

[whatupyos]

That's an awesome Ruth ball!!! How long have you been trying to obtain one? If you don't mind me asking, how much should I expect to pay for a legit Ruth ball (ball park figure). I'd love to get one some day. I've seen them around $6,000-$10,000.

My bad, you were the seller of the bat. The Ruth Ball is pretty darn sweet!:)

[schubert1970]

Halofan- I was the buyer of the bat. You're right as long as your happy with your purchase. I don't see a ton of Posada bats on the market so I wasn't sure of the going rate and I'm not paying $600 for a Steiner cracked bat.

whatupyos - I paid 8k for the ball and one reason I wanted this one is I like the fact that it's dated. The balls with his sig on the sweet stop are too much for my wallet. With the economy, you can probably get one even cheaper.

I'd say that you got a good price. I havent seen too many air dry bats and its got a Steiner cert. Posada bats have taken a bit of a dive price wise here in the last 2 weeks but I wouldnt be upset with what you bought. My 2 Posadas are blond so I'm jealous of the black bat.

Yorman Bazardo Game Used Cap:)

That style Spring Training / BP hat was last worn in 2006, so it's not Bazardo.
If you bought it on EBAY, those are 2003 Hats Sutler was selling.

[Rob L]

Picked up these Spring Training jerseys at Angels Stadium on 9/13/08:

1. Jordan Walden (53), took his 100 mph fastball and pitched in Single A this year.

2. Nick Green (79), pitched in AAA this year.

3. Darren O'day (83), pitched in the majors this year.

All show good use (heavy fading from the Arizona sun). My son and I are using the Green and O'day jerseys to wear.

Hello
I dont know if you guys remember the Nap LaJoie bat that i had acouple of months ago. So i sent it off to Mears and i got it back today and they graded it a A8. They are calling it a 1905 Napoleon LaJoie professional model bat. It's 34 inches and the weight is 41.4, so its a big bat. They also say in their report that its consistent with respects to dating for one of the frist Louisville Slugger bats, which would have been made available for his personal professional use. LaJoie signed his contract with H&B on 9/12/1905. Really nice bat. You guys will be seeing it for sale soon. I just need to find out what to ask for it. Also posted this on network 54.Thanks

1999 Tino Martinez ALCS Bat

[Birdbats]

I'm just giddy about this one -- a 1967 World Series Orlando Cepeda. Cha Cha was the 1967 NL MVP and is viewed by most as the heart and soul of that championship "El Birdos" team. This bat is huge -- 36", 35 ounces and incredibly thick. One of two bats shipped to him on 9/27/67.

Mike,
This is the first Donnie Rawlings I have ever seen other than a couple of pictures and I have been collecting Donnie for ever!! The fact that it is from the 1985 MVP season and he signed it "1985 Gamer" makes it very special !!!:D

'89 Tettleton Orioles Gamer and an '08 Adam Jones O's gamer

[yanks12025]

Got these in the mail today. They were both used in 2008. Willy taverez and Jeff Baker. I have photomatched the Jeff baker to a RBI single in the 6th inning on 5/19/2008. On mlb they have a good video of his single and at the end you can see the bat break and thwe piece of wood go flying. And you can see the getty image is perfect also.
