Thought I would take this moment to introduce myself to the forum and say hello.

Hello :D

Just picked up the center piece to my collection a Arod grand slam bat HR#517. The bat is very special to me because my wife & I were there in Tampa in the front row on the 3rd base line for that game at Tropicana Field. We also can be seen on the video when Arod is rounding 3rd after the grand slam. It is from MVP & was graded GU10 by psa. I now have completed my Arod game bat collection.

I think I have over a 100 Red Sox bats. Not all the bats I get in are hammered with game use, I like my bats with a lot of game use, cracked or uncracked. What team or players do you collect?

Mets bats just recently started looking for the older early 80's bats of some of my kid heroes.They bring back some fond memories of my childhood.Recently picked up 2 Joel Youngbloods and a Doug Flynn.They will go good with my late 70's early 80's Mets gamers.

Just got this item in the mail. Xavier Nady game used bat from 2008. bat shows great use. The mlb hologram shows he cracked it on 9/3/2008. I believe he used it on 9/2/2008 to hit a giant home run(see link), but because their in a dome i cant get a good shot. On the link below click Nady puts the Yankees on top to see the home run.

Wow, already 14 items listed as having been picked up during the month of January, and it's only December (???).

There were 15 items picked up in December but posted in November.

Another 15 items picked up in November but posted here in October.

I thought to myself, how is this possible? Maybe this is the reason I keep missing the good items out there... So I got myself one of these... A Flux Capacitor. Eat your heart out GUU.

Not game used...but movie used :)

This is a working Gremlin puppet and hero prop from Gremlins 2...it is also believed that it was used in the original Gremlins movie as well. It stands almost three feet tall and would've required up to 8 puppeteers to opporate. It has arm controls and hand gripping motion, mouth snarl, eye movement including blinking, and ear wiggling amongst others.

His mounting board reads #10 (denoting hero/working gremlin cast number) and is named Green Steve. Also noted is the inscription that says Mechanical Arm Glen...which means the hands were used for the Close Ups for another Gremlin. I got this piece from former prop master Brook Yeaton.

There is some dry rotting present, however for a piece that is almost 20 years old and abused during production...not too shabby in my opinion. I wonder how many others are out there. I was also supplied with names of people who can help to restore the trouble spots :)

Haitai Tigers (now Kia Tigers) game used jersey. The team was the Haitai Tigers until 2001 when Kia (the automobile maker) bought the team.

Haitai was an original member of the Korean Baseball Organization that was formed in 1982. The team won 9 of the first 16 titles in the KBO.

I recently picked up this game used 2008 Max Bat of Alameda CA's top dawg Jimmy Rollins. It's MLB Authenticated to a game on 5/30 vs the Marlins and was purchased directly from a Phillies auction. The bat is cracked on the handle, shows great use and has Rollins trademark tape job on the handle.

Since we don't have anywhere on the forum to leave seller feedback I would like to personally thank forum member maccamania for this great bat. He was willling to work with me on payment of the bat during the holidays and shipping was top notch. Excellent deal all the way around. Thanks Rich!!

Just got my second Xavier Nady yankee bat in the mail. The mlb hologram says it was cracked on 8/4, in the 1st inning. So i looked on 8/2 and was able to photomatch it to be used that whole game. The best thing about that game was that Nady went 4-5 with a 2B,two Singles and a 3-run Homerun and ended up having 6 RBI's. So this is my second Nady homerun bat. I included some photos of the match and also a link to see highlights from the game.

Not sure what to make of this. Mike Scott Road "Cream" Goodman and Sons. Goodman jerseys were not available to the public although it has been brought to my attention here that a source in CA at the time had access to these jerseys. For now i'll call it a game issued jersey. Whether it was a blank customized to a Scott or a real Scott jersey from the beginning i'll never know. It does not appear to be stripped and re customized. For the price, I don't real care that I cannot 100% tell it is a real Mike Scott Gamer.

Brett Gardner game used helmet which is "pounded" with use. I also believe it to be the helmet that he was wearing when he scored the final run at Yankee Stadium.

Note the bent top of the second "1" on the brim of the helmet and the screenshot from the 9/21/08 mlb.tv broadcast showing the same (screenshot taken after he slid into third just before scoring on a sacrifice fly).

The residue on the visor also appears to match but there is some distortion due to lighting.

Ok, so one of my biggest pick-ups in January is not even game used. It is a display case I picked up from a retail store that was going out of business. I paid $100 for the case which was a great deal except I had to go pick it up. The case is about 6' tall by 3' wide. I cleaned it up and threw some stuff in just to see how it would look. I am planning to set it up with some of my more difficult to display items like a GU base and cleats, etc.

dcgreg- that display case is awesome, great pick up. Just need some places like that to go out of business around me haha. By the way did you get my email?

Not game used...but movie used :)

This is a working Gremlin puppet and hero prop from Gremlins 2...it is also believed that it was used in the original Gremlins movie as well. It stands almost three feet tall and would've required up to 8 puppeteers to opporate. It has arm controls and hand gripping motion, mouth snarl, eye movement including blinking, and ear wiggling amongst others.

His mounting board reads #10 (denoting hero/working gremlin cast number) and is named Green Steve. Also noted is the inscription that says Mechanical Arm Glen...which means the hands were used for the Close Ups for another Gremlin. I got this piece from former prop master Brook Yeaton.

There is some dry rotting present, however for a piece that is almost 20 years old and abused during production...not too shabby in my opinion. I wonder how many others are out there. I was also supplied with names of people who can help to restore the trouble spots :)


I love the horror movies but there would be no way Id want that in my house. Although the only reason Id love to have it is to scare the bejesus out of my husband. :D:D

Ok, so one of my biggest pick-ups in January is not even game used. It is a display case I picked up from a retail store that was going out of business. I paid $100 for the case which was a great deal except I had to go pick it up. The case is about 6' tall by 3' wide. I cleaned it up and threw some stuff in just to see how it would look. I am planning to set it up with some of my more difficult to display items like a GU base and cleats, etc.

I just got my holy grail item in the mail today. Its a black Reebok Frank Thomas game used glove. This style it seems was used from 97-99. The glove shows great use. As I was "researching" images on getty I noticed that they had a photo with some laces missing from the pinky/ring finger support area. I checked the glove and BINGO laces are missing :) Definite style match. Enjoy.

Tyler Yates game used Braves jerseys, two cool base and one polyester jersey purchased from ebay and Braves clubhouse store, obtained the jerseys in 2007 and just got them signed last night, he also added the G.U. 07 inscription.

Tyler is a local boy from the island of Kauai and spoke at a high school baseball fundraiser along with Colorado Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, both gave inspirational speeches that had people in the audience tearing up.

Tyler is a great guy and always gives back to the community, he helps with youth baseball clinics and his local high school baseball program while here in the off season.

Rawlings made them for a few of there "elite" accounts. They were/are used for marketing. The problem is, since they are an exact replica of their Heart of the Hide series, the quality is high and the price matches the quality. I'm not selling mine but there is one available, $700. If any one is interested, please let me know.

Brett Gardner game used helmet which is "pounded" with use. I also believe it to be the helmet that he was wearing when he scored the final run at Yankee Stadium.

Note the bent top of the second "1" on the brim of the helmet and the screenshot from the 9/21/08 mlb.tv broadcast showing the same (screenshot taken after he slid into third just before scoring on a sacrifice fly).

The residue on the visor also appears to match but there is some distortion due to lighting.

Wow, that is an amazing match and helmet with a great historic flavor to it. I'm pretty sure photofile has a shot of him scoring the final run at Yankee Stadium. He was signing it at a show he was at and inscribing final run at yankee Stadium. It's not a close up if I recall, but would be a cool thing to have with the helmet.

Metsbats pointed that out I am far from an expert but he showed me a photo of Backman either late 87 or 88 using this type of bat with Len Dykstra.Im gonna pick up some programs and yearbooks.He believes Backman may have used it because of the tape job.Have some work to do but that is what makes it fun..Thanks for the pointers I appreciate it..

2006 Cory Dunlap North Shore Honu road jersey (also worn by Jose Capellan for 4 starts in 2008). I picked this up from Hawaii Winter Baseball. Thanks to whoever posted that short lived thread about their sale!!

Bill Serena 1955-57 H&B game used bat. I picked this up in the first Mears auction. According to the records this was used towards the end of Serena's career in either the PCL or the International League. It's got a few nails in it and it's not the most aesthetically pleasing bat but I'm happy to add it to my collection.

I need the Detroit team if anyone has one they want to part with. This example is from 1889 and features the Chicago team with Cap Anson. Very nice condition despite the centering.

Not really if you ask me. Their selection this/the past year at FanFest was terrible imo. A majority of the GU stuff were of former players (like 3+ years ago) and tons of lower named players.


I dont think anyone would argue with a $40 jersey of a major leaguer. That's a steal in my eyes - even if you wear it yourself to a game.

Well i didn't go, I was more making refrence to a few jerseys that went for under $100 of good players, i.e. alex gordon for $85.

No kidding! I got an email from the Cardinals last week and the CHEAPEST home/road jersey was 225.00 and those guys didn't make it out of spring training or where little used bench players. I think the cheapest BP jersey was 125.00

Just picked up a awesome Keith Byars game worn Eagles jersey. The seller personally received the jersey from Keith who told the seller that this jersey was actually worn during the "Fog Bowl" in Chicago. I have no reason to doubt the seller isn't telling the truth but we'll check it out anyway.

The jersey was made by Russell with 4" extra length added. There are 18 team repairs, a blood stain, turf burns and to top it off, the NOB is original.

This has nothing to do with trophies but the organization giving the award. March of Dimes mission to save sick babies and prevent illness in babies makes it such a noble and wonderful charity. Just a plug for a great charity!!!

With much thanks to Brad at Shafran Collectibles and also to KyleHess for the photo match...

2007 Lastings Milledge Mets rookie jersey - MLB hologramed to the final day of the season on 9/30/07. Also the last Mets jersey Milledge wore and was worn the day before when he had his first 2 HR game of his career (photomatched by the loose threads on the front numbers).

I did some backtracking and found that Milledge played in 59 games in 2007, with 33 being at home. The Mets wore this style for 25 of those 33 home games. Its a set 1 jersey so I doubt that there was a set 2 made for so few games.

What makes you think Wally Backman used this bat?

I actually put that bug in Scott's ear. When I saw the block letter LEN DYKSTRA bat I remembered a photo in the 2006 Mets year book showing Wally Backman using the same model bat. I also have a heavily used Backman game used bat with similar tape on the handle as the Dykstra block model on ebay.

Here's the photo from the Mets yearbook thought it may not be clear enough to see the LEN DYKSTRA block letter.

Rawlings made them for a few of there "elite" accounts. They were/are used for marketing. The problem is, since they are an exact replica of their Heart of the Hide series, the quality is high and the price matches the quality. I'm not selling mine but there is one available, $700. If any one is interested, please let me know.

$700 is VERY Reasonable for one of those... I use to work for Rawlings and we had one of those on a custom stand (it's a chair) at the 'Making the Game' booth at Coors Field. We sold those through the booth at $2,000 each!!!!

The RFK patch was put on the Nats jerseys for the last homestand of 2007 for the last season in RFK Stadium. The team wore the white jerseys for 7 games and wore the Red Sunday uni's for 2 games which included the last game at RFK on Sept 23rd.

This jersey has a ton of use on it so my theory is they took the regular jerseys and sewed on the RFK patch.

That Nelson bat is quite a find! In the majors at age 18, gone by 21. Have you been searching for that for a while?

Being a huge fan of the HR Derby....and being lucky enough to travel to Yankee Stadium to watch what was probably the best Derby in history, my jaw dropped seeing that piece of lumber!!!

Congrats and I am jealous!

Hello, I was just wondering if you still have the Trenton Thunder Marcos jersey. I am from that area and I goto Thunder games regularly, I was just wondering if you were thinking of selling it. Please let me know either way, thank you for your time.
