June Pick Ups

[big10champ]

Just completed a deal today and picked up a bunch of Terry Steinbach game used items. From his time with the Minnesota Twins: 1997 Rawlings Gamer, 1998 LS Gamer, 1999 Game Used Batting helmet, 1999 Game used Catchers Helmet, and game used hats from 1998 and 1999. All items are autographed and all items come with Letter of Authenticity from the Twins.

Also from the same deal, picked up a group of Steinbach Oakland A's game used equipment: Game used Autographed Shoes, Shin Guards, Chest Protector, batting gloves, Soxs, Catchers Mask, (helmet is a replica for display purposes) and a 1990 Rawlings Game used bat. Items were donated by Steinbach to the University of Minnesota for an auction in 1997.

Congratulations!!! Terry S. is a wonderful man and I am so glad someone is honoring him with a collection. He lives about 35 miles from me. I had items of his in the past and so wish I would have kept them. If I see anything else out there, I'll definitely let you know.

That is one fine collection!

Brian,

Great looking Steinbauch collection! Nice pick up!

I'll know where to go if I want to start collecting him! After buying all this - do you need to sell me the Allison to support the funding? :D

Take a look a my new web-site... Under construction now - but it would look great in there!

I just added a new fielding glove to my collection. My wife bought me a 2007 Carlos Pena Nike FirstBaseman's Mitt for my birthday.

It is signed by Carlos and came from his agent Mead Chasky. The glove came from the ebay winning bidder and a great glove collector Jody (ebayer tadema). Jody is great to work with and has an awesome collection of gloves.

I should have it next week. Best thing about the glove it is easily photomatched multiple times on getty images.

Steinbach may be a great guy in some ways, but, after stumping for his scholarship funds for several years, I offered to buy a GU A's jersey of his through his agent. I was told $300 or $400 (I forget which), and it had to be there by Dec. 31 (for tax purposes). I sent the donation, got the package a week later...and was crestfallen when I saw the contents were a retail jersey. That's why I'm looking to sell the Steinbach bat I reently dug up, and for which Big10champ gets first shot...after a guy and his agent take me for $300/$400 and dump a retail jersey in my lap, I really don't want any of his stuff around my apartment.

and there is the other side of the story! Don't blame you a bit Dave. Steinbach's agent played you bigtime.

Manny game-used Rawlings from '99 with Indians. Interesting how it compares with '98 bat. An inch or so longer and noticeably heavier but looks inc. ballmarks and dirt/tar are almost identical. Emailing Rawlings now with knob and end details to confirm records match.

Also picked up a nice Manny signed ball from a forum member, thanks!

That 98 Manny bat was mine, I traded it to Ball Park Heroes.

Ok, I recieved my Pablo Sandoval uncracked game used bat and it is AWESOME! It's got pine tar mid barrell as well as on the handle tape and it's still very sticky! It's got ball marks, deep seam impressions, as well as cleat marks! Simply amazing! Enjoy!

I agree, Dayton has their stuff on lock.... are the police looking for you?

Very handsome acquisition! Anytime Mr. Sandoval has a desire to relocate, I can send you my MN address!

;)

[brianborsch]

I will certainly think of you if I ever plan to sell it. His stuff is so hard to find! And this one is exceptional!!!

Well I have been on the lookout for a Dragons jersey for quite a while now. My luck was horrible. So I placed an ad on Craigslist and it went something like this..."if you win a Dragons jersey at a game, I will buy it from you" abd of course I included my email address. Ddint take long for me to get 3 offers from people looking to sell the jerseys they've won. I bought the jersey that I posted for $175. And because I live in Japan, I had my dad meet another person to do a cash transaction for $75 for another green jersey (but different style) the player is some pitcher named Brad Salmon or something like that. I guess he pitches for the WhiteSox or something, I dunno. But My parents shiiped it to me so that one should be here in a week. And finally, the 3rd jersey...this transaction did not go well at all. I paid a whopping $300 for a home jersey through paypal and wanted it shipped to my house in japan. Well right as soon as I paid the person, i never received an email back for almost 3 weeks. I filed a claim on paypal and when the other person had to respond, they claimed I sent them an email saying I didnt want them to ship it to me and that i was going to have someone pick it up from their house (which was not true). So either they gave the jersey to someone who came to their house claiming to be picking it up for me or they and lieing and trying to keep the money and the jersey. Either way I wont be seeing the Home jersey so I was screwed on $300 unless paypal refunds my money.

So there it is! Placing an ad on Craigslist is the way to go if you wanna buy these jerseys cause people win them and will turn around and sell em for money. I highly reccommend it, just dont get screwed over like I did. Good luck.
