Thanks Dale! The other 2 should be pretty easy. :D

[spartanservitto]

Rich, Jackson is doing a signing coming up on the 13th with DC, I know you probably know already, thought I would let you know, Im taking my bat. Are they cool with game used inscriptions?

geez! That's quite a player collection there! Now that's something even Jackson would be proud of.

[kylehess10]

Here's my one lone nice Detroit Tigers piece:

The main field pitching rubber from Armando Gallaraga's "Almost Perfect" game, as well as being used for every home game in Comerica Park in 2010.

[cliffjmp33]

Dale's Jackson bat, pre-signature and matched to Jackson's First MLB at bat and also to at bats later in the game.

Was reading ESPN article and saw they featured your email about the Jackson bat. Here's the link in case no one had sent it yet.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/thelife/news/story?id=6594078

[tigerdale]

Thats an amazing Jackson bat collection!! Very impressive! I can't compete w/ that, but here are a few tiger bats I think are pretty cool..
all bats are MLB authenticated..the top one is a game used Polanco bat from the one game playoff against the twins in 2009, broken on a 5th inning single..which turns out to be Polancos last hit as a tiger. The next is a Carlos Guillen bat from the all-star game in 2008..no footage I can find where he used this bat..but he at least brought it w/ him!! The next is a cracked Rick Porcello bat from this season & finally an Andy Dirks bat cracked from his third major league hit this season.

[mlupo]

I've had these for a few years, but I just got around to taking pics.

[larry bourget]

Russ, that's some exceptionally nice catchers wear on your Tigers 1997 #10 Brian Johnson jersey. Thanks for sharing.

larry.bourget@sympatico.ca

[russyurk]

Thanks Larry! For a guy that only played 25 home games for the Tigers before being traded the jersey shows A TON of use. There is heavy pilling on the back where the straps rubbed and loose threads everywhere.

[Dach0sen0ne]

Russ, awesome pick ups!

[spartanservitto]

Had my Jackson rookie bat signed and inscribed with his state from 2010. Well worth it. Again, thanks to Rich and Dale, getting me in touch with Marc way back when to pick this up. Will be a part of my collection forever.

The AJ bat looks great Tony!!

[russyurk]

A 2009 home JRD jersey to go with my 2010 road. Great dirt stains and a solid photo match.

[tigerdale]

A Ramon Santiago home run bat...he was using Dusty Ryans bat..Rich did a great job of photomatching during the HR at bat & just last weekend had Ramon sign & inscribe the home run bat & ball that he hit for career home run number 17!! Both bat & ball are mlb authenticated.

[Dach0sen0ne]

I forgot how crazy that photomatch was. Look awesome signed!!! I'll add this 2011 Jackson Spring Training Jersey to the thread.

[tigerdale]

Some tigers pitchers bats from this season...Porcello, Penny & Verlander...the Porcello & Penny are authenticated...

[5toolplayer]

[spartanservitto]

Dale, Love the bat, cant wait to have Alex inscribe mine! Also, I need to get my buddy to bring over his Granderson 1st Big League bat so I can post it on here. Photos to come.

-Tony

[mbrieve]

I also went to the Ramon Santiago signing a couple of weeks ago. I think I found a photomatch dating back to a game in Baltimore on May 31, 2009. Let me know what you guys think on the match:

I'm curious as to if any forum members picked up the hats with the stars on the back that Marc advertised as being available. I bought the Valverde but probably won't receive it until next week.

[5toolplayer]

where did u buy your hat from? I'm looking for the Granderson

[frikativ54]

where did u buy your hat from? I'm looking for the Granderson

I bought my hat straight from the Tigers' authentication program, run by Marc. I got on the email list a few weeks ago, and I'm very happy I did.

Mike Acosta from the Astros told me that the stars on the hats are heat pressed, so that they can easily be removed. So I am honestly not sure how many of these hats will hit the market.

The Tigers' email advertised three for sale, the Valverde, Peralta, and Cabrera.

-Frik

[5toolplayer]

thanks for the update. i will just end up buying some stars and sewing them on a NY hat

Debating whether or not to take off the tape on the Higginson bat.

[mattp]

Hey guys......I'm new to this forum and have been mainly collecting bats from the '84 team. However, they're currently hibernating in a Rubbermaid dumpster (some with socks) due to my roaming 2 1/2 year old son that currently likes to swing things. They'll all be back out in a few years, I hope. I'm still looking for a Kuntz, Allen, Jones, Earl, and Garbey if anyone has any leads. Thanks..............Matt

[russyurk]

I took my son to his first Tigers game back in July and of course I probably went overboard but that's the fun isn't it? As luck would have it, it was Negro League Weekend so many of the items reflect the celebration. I just picked up Don Kelly's uni along with first base from innings 1-6 and the dugout scorecard.

I got an e-mail from the Tigers just last week telling me the game we attended they took a special TagOramic image where you can zoom into any seat and tag yourself. Of course I zoomed in on the base and have a photo match to go along with it.

[mbrieve]

^^^Awesome!

Alex Avila bat cracked last week vs KC, thanks to Rich I matched it to two home runs, the 8/24 bomb in Tampa, and the 8/27 homer vs Minn

Alex Avila bat matched to his first and second home runs of the year. Again thanks to Rich making my Avila collection...

[Dach0sen0ne]

Let's see some Tigers stuff, since they are kicking some @ss! Just picked up a Maggs bat (Used by Austin Jackson) a Boesch bat (Used by Austin Jackson) and a cork from Verlander's 20th win champagne celebration. GO TIGERS!!

[tigerdale]

What awesome tiger pickups!!!! Those are some fantastic items!!!

[mbrieve]

I purchased the following bats from tigerdale.

Tony Clark game used LVS, Ivan Rodriguez game used Marucci and Dmitri Young game issued Xbat. Dale also threw in a Cecil Fielder wristband as a surprise (it goes well with my GU Fielder bat) and I had actually been looking to get one of these.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee92/mbriev16/ClarkYoungPudge.jpg

The Clark bat is pounded with use and the backside of the barrel has a missing piece. The Pudge bat has minimal use but shows plenty of cleat marks and wear to the end of the barrel and knob. The Young bat is game issued with markings on the knob and end of the bat, but I thought the oversize knob was especially cool.

Let me say, you won't find a better guy in this hobby than Dale. This is the first transaction we have had between the two of us, but we have been corresponding for the last couple of years (if I have any Tiger GU questions, he is the first person I think of to ask). I have dealt with enough people that aren't considerate enough to return an e-mail that it is nice to connect with a person that is genuine and helpful even when it doesn't help them monetarily. I hope to deal with you again, Dale!

[Dach0sen0ne]

Since the Tigers locked down the AL Central, I figured I bump this to the top.

Jackson triple to start the bottom of the 9th rally against the White Sox on 9/3. It was followed by the Raburn HR then the Cabrera walk off HR. GO TIGERS!!

So, I drove 13 hours to have Austin Jackson sign 6 bats, an MLB Debut Ball, and a copy of the ESPN.com article with his 1st bat in it. I also attended a Tigers game and watched Justin Verlander do his best Brad Penny impression for a few innings. Overall it was a great road trip!

[tigerdale]

great photo Rich & just a very cool & unique collection!! Just think, before MLB authentication & high def TV, the majority of those bats, if not all of them, would have been marketed as the players bats whose name is on the barrell, not as a Jackson bat!!!

Hey all Tiger collectors...recently bought this on ebay as a shot in the dark, wondering if I have a game used, team issued, or just an authentic jersey. Regardless, I love these old 70/80's t-shirt jerseys which I've started collecting, just a great look to them
My hunch is that its just an issued jersey since there was no one on the 83' team that wore #38, but does anyone know what to make of it? Did the Tigers have names on the back of the road jerseys?
Thanks for any and all help

Yes, 1983 Tigers gamers (home and road) had NOBs. What you have is one of an unknown number of year tagged salesman's samples Wilson issued in 1983. Thee jerseys all have boxed year tags, but are absent of any other tagging information the team may normally use (set #, name, jersey number size) and styles which use NOBs in games do not have them (as is the case with this one). This Tigers jersey you have carries no set number nor an inventory number. Some were done with star player numbers (Phillies #14), others were common player numbers.

Great V-Mart jersey!!! Obviously that jersey is easy to match the shoulder, but there was also a good shot of the pine tar on the back/side during the broadcast. I would have loved to buy that, but my budget is about 10% of what Marc was asking. Congrats man.

Thanks for the kind words. Thankfully I was able to work out a fair deal with Marc as I have bought a bunch of Vmart stuff throughout the year. I am working on getting the back matched as well.

[mlupo]

I am working on getting the back matched as well.

I wouldn't call this a match on it's own, but knowing that this photo was taken from the same game that the jersey was worn, I would say that this is that back/side stain. I think it stands out a little better with inverted colors, but you can actually buy a print of this image from the Detroit News website in the ALSC game 3 gallery(it is image 43 of the gallery). Thats from this HR swing, you might be able to get a solid match off one of the large prints 16x20 is $55, 20x30 is $75. Here is the link for you just in case.

NICE!!!!!

I remember watching the game they were talking about the pine tar on his shoulder and showed a close-up of it. I was thinking 'I wonder who will end up with it'

[xmartyx]

Great V-Mart jersey!!! Obviously that jersey is easy to match the shoulder, but there was also a good shot of the pine tar on the back/side during the broadcast. I would have loved to buy that, but my budget is about 10% of what Marc was asking. Congrats man.
Actually, it would probably be kinda hard to match it based off just the shoulder. He has the same stain there every night.

[jppopma]

I'll keep that in mind. Although, the odds are slim and the price would be high. :)

I love the Tigers more traditional version of the TATC. I've seen pics of a prototype TATC with a huge tiger tail wrapping around it, but like like the sleeveless much much better.

As rare as these pop up, I wonder what kinds of prices any of them would demand.

Love the V-mart too! Glad I wasn't alone watching the game and wondering who would end up with it.

The only other one I have seen for sale recently was a Greg Jeffries one that Krukcards had on ebay. I think it went for around $350.

Although, I like mine better. Especially with the Japanese signature...and that it's mine. :)

Every stain is unique, and since his pine tar shoulder stains are so large it makes it very easy to tell them apart.

[tigerdale]

A few Verlander items fom his big season...the lineup card from his 24th win, a ball from his no hitter, a ball from his 20th win that is authenticated to 2 strikeouts & finally, maybe my favorite, the ball Erick Aybar bunted against Verlander in the 8th inning trying to break up a no hitter in late July...

Were those verlanders issued? I got the end of season email and that was what they were described as... those look like gamers!!!! What pick ups, especially if for the price that they were offered.

-Tony

[tigerdale]

The first one I bought in the summer after interleague play & was happy w/ the usage...the second I bought from the end of the year 'issued' email & was shocked when it came used! The second has a date of 9/27/11, so I'm sure it was ordered for post season & used during BP....still 2 cool bats from the AL MVP!!

MLB.com is presently selling a number of g-u Detroit balls at fixed prices. They include several Verlander pitches from 2011 postseason series.( Forgive me if somebody already posted this,as this is a very large thread.)

I found a photo of Verlander during BP practice before game 3 of the ALCS...matches the one I posted a couple days earlier!! Thank you to Rich (as always) for putting it all together!!

Hey fellas!

I recently picked up a 2011 Verlander Game-Issued from Himelstein (with the Sparky patch and inventory tag for $400), but I'm confused and concerned by the wash code tag. It's Cool Base, so i would've expected it to be wash code 0063. Instead, I've got 0630. Has anyone ever seen this code before? Should I be concerned?

In addition, the Majestic tag on the tail has Jim Schmackel's initials, followed by an "N". Does anyone know what that might've been intended to indicate?

Thanks for any help.

I remember seeing a discussion on this before, and I believe the "N" indicates that it was "not used" or "non use". Could be wrong though.
At $400, that's a pretty nice alternative to an actual gamer.

This is exactly correct. I think there is a more thorough discussion of this a few pages back in this thread. I think it was around this time last year.

[RASTANIF]

I picked a Verlander as well. Mine is 0063 wash tag but has an R after the 0063. I thought maybe it meant road due to it being a road jersey but my Boesch road from this year does not have it, just says 0063. The "N" means "N"ot used. Jim puts that on all the issued jerseys they sell so people don't inscribe his initials and sell them on eBay or somewhere else. Kinda good of him to do if you ask me. Too many shady people out there today selling fakes!!

[Frink]

Cool, thanks guys. That clears up the "N", but can anyone shed any light on the wash code 0630? I can't find any information about it on the web. I've never seen it or heard of it before.

[RASTANIF]

I just went through my jerseys. None have that wash code. I've never seen or heard of it either. Maybe you can ask Marc and he could somehow find out. Sometimes he's cool about that kinda stuff and sometimes not so much...it came from the clubhouse so I wouldn't be too concerned but it's definitely not common.

So YOU are the one I was bidding against LOL :) Man I really wish I would have won that one, oh well.......beautiful jersey, I'm glad someone from this thread ended up with it. If you ever want/need to move it let me know, I've been looking for one of the Tigers TATC jerseys for a while.

[russyurk]

MLUPO - will do. This was only the second Detroit TATC jersey I've seen for sale and it closed about $30 cheaper than the other one. I was very excited to add this one.

[jppopma]

I too was looking at the TATC jersey, but it went outside of my range for an issued jersey. Then again, they don't come around too often at all and I know a bunch of guys already in line for the next one. Nice pickup, Easley is a much better player than the TATCs I have.

Jppopma - do you think the Easley was issued and not game used? Easley played in the game, do you think there were more than one jersey of each player issued?

I had always heard that the team did not wear any of the TATC jerseys. They played the Royals at home on 7/22/99 (which would likely be these home sleeveless ones) and the Red Sox in Boston on 9/18/99 (which would have been the blue TATC style with the tiger tail on the back).

I have tried in the past to find pictures from that home game, but come up empty. I'd love to hear that they were actually used. Just a matter of doing some more digging and proving the old information wrong.

They were in fact used 7/22/99, I have no proof other than I remember watching the game on TV.

As far as the 9/18/99 goes, I am not sure if they wore a TATC jersey for that game or not, the Red Sox TATC jerseys did not arrive in time for the game so I know Boston did not wear them, but I am not sure about the Tigers.

[tigerdale]

yes, the home TATC jerseys were worn for sure! somewhere there is a photo or two I remember seeing. At a tigerfest awhile ago (recent enough that it was at comerica) I remember the tiger foundation sold the remaining of those jerseys for I think 60 each. Many were coaches & such. I dont even think they knew what they were selling.

[russyurk]

Thanks for the feedback guys. When researching the TATC jerseys I found the photos below, it definitely appears that they were worn at home. I assume the other is the road version that was never worn.

[jppopma]

Thanks for disproving the information that I had been told that they were game issued. The ones that I have are the home version, and I have only seen photos of the away. I had checked on getty and it shows the Tigers wearing their normal away jerseys for the 18th and entire series.

Does anyone have any other pictures of the away Tigers TATC jersey? I'd be interested to see some with the names and numbers on them. From what I have read, it was the Red Sox jerseys who did not come in on time. You would think that the Tigers would have had theirs made up by then.

Again, thanks for the information...I had thought all along that they were all just issued. Makes me wonder where the aways all ended up....

[russyurk]

So is anybody taking Marc up on his grab bag offer?? I have no interest especially when his $250 jerseys are probably worth closer to $100-$125. The 2009 Negro League throwbacks that he's listed on mlb.com recently have gone for next to nothing. Bonderman and Fien closed at $111 & $110 respectively. I actually sent him a $125 offer for any low end player he had left and of course he didn't even respond. I'm guessing those will end up in the grab bag mess.


Hello. After the recent success of the Game Used Jersey Grab Bag on MLB.com Auctions, I decided to make this item available for each of you. I will make 50 jerseys grab bags, the first 50 people to order will get one. This offer expires on Wednesday March 7. Each grab bag will be $400. The jerseys in the grab bag will be valued between $250 and $5000. Yes, that is correct. I will put one Verlander jersey in a grab bag. (The last one I have.)

Once the orders are in, I will select the jerseys and give them to another staff member to put into bags. I will have no knowledge of what jersey is in each bag. To me, this is the most fair way to do this.

Please call with questions or to place an order.

Realistically, what 2011 Tiger besides Verlander, Cabrera, or Vmart is worth the $400 investment? $400 is too much of a gamble to end up with a Brayan Villarreal jersey.

That has to be the LONGEST timespan for a game ball and it must have been a couple "Good morning, good afternoon and good night - two times to be exact!

The same baseballs being used in at least 7 consecutive pitches - that must be a record on its own!:D

Just got back from Spring Training, and I ended up getting a couple nice pieces for my collection. The first day I got a pair of Prince Fielder game used batting gloves. The second day I got another Prince Fielder batting glove. On the last day of my trip, I added Prince Fielder's very first game-used broken bat as a Detroit Tiger.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a189/x_marty_x/94440a36.jpg
These don't have Fielder's usual "Fielder" stitched into the wristband, but I watched him pull them out of his back pocket and give them to me, so I don't care. Plus, there is photos of him wearing them as well.

Hi everyone. This is my second post. I have really enjoyed reading through past posts and checking out all of your amazing game used items. I am a huge Tigers fan and a Miguel Cabrera collector.

Did anyone pick up the Craig Monroe 2002 bp jersey from the Leaving the Hobby Sale - Over 600 Jerseys Available thread? Does anyone have the Delmon Young St. Patrick's Day jersey from this year? I know this is the wrong forum for this, but I figured more Tigers guys would see it here.

My bro and I are lifelong Twins fans who got on board with the Tigers last year when our favorite current player, Delmon Young, got traded over. It's a lot easier being a Tigers fan. I would wager my daughter is one of the very few Tigers Kids Club members in the great state of North Dakota. Here is my lone Tigers used purchase so far:

Welcome over from the dark side Dew! Good to have you as a new fan! I dont have any info on the jersey's in question but I thought you might have interest in the Delmon Game worn ALCS jersey the Tigers have up for auction currently (if you didn't know about it already). Good Luck!

-Ryan Greenlee
Miguel Cabrera collector

[dietdew]

My bro has that one in his sights; he has a replica white that he wants to replace. It was a Dontrelle Willis that we picked up as soon as Delmon was traded, and then we had them heat press YOUNG onto it at Target Field a couple weeks later. I doubt they get that request too often. He picked up a Tigers Road jersey through the mlb.com auctions a few months ago. I'm a big fan of the Tigers Authentics and Auction sites; I wish the Twins had something along the lines of those. He has 4 or 5 different Twins gamers and 3 Rochester Redwings ones of Delmon's, so he needs to even his wardrobe out.

Nice Bat!! Glad that you were able to get it. I was fortunate to be at the Opening Day game two rows behind the Tigers Dugout and watched Cabrera shatter the bat. I was able to get some photos of him at bat before he broke the bat. I have attached the photos. I you want a larger size please let me know.

I am sure there are other pics you can photomatch with these should help.

Thank you very much for shooting me those pics Roar.! They are saved! Much appreciated. My next task is to figure out how everyone Photo-matches their bats the way you had your Miguel SAM matched side by side detailing similar characteristics. It looks perfect like that!. (If you ever have time, can you shoot me some extra pics of your SAM?, would love to check it out in more detail!!) Thanks again Roar.

If you have the means of posting pics, do so on this thread. The Forum has numerous Tiges bat and equipment collectors who can advise you.

Dave Miedema

Thanks Dave! I will try to put up some pics this weekend. It doesn't show heavy use (hardly any at all) but I'll put it up anyway.

Happy Friday the 13th!!!!!

I know this is not from his Tigers days, but it just came in the mail today and it's my favorite piece of his I have (to date) so I thought I'd post it:

2003 NLCS Miguel Cabrera GU Rookie Bat

-Randy

[xmartyx]

I put some bids in on that. When I saw the ending price, I thought the seller was schill bidding it. Congrats. Nice bat.

Thanks,
I had that feeling too and I don't know if I overpaid but it's so rare to see a postseason bat (especially a rookie bat) of his hit the market I thought it was worth it
:D

Well, you did pay quite a bit, but if you're fine with that, that's all that matters. Like you said too, it's a pretty rare bat.

[xmartyx]

Since everyone is showing off their Cabrera stuff, I suppose I'll post mine.

Would like to add some more stuff, but it's crazy what a batting title will do to prices. I guess I'll just have to be patient.

[DUTCH613]

Nice rookie bat Randy! Had my eye on it too. Congrats. Im happy to see someone from here landed it. After my opening day Cabrera purchase, I would have landed on the couch till June if my Wife saw that bat box on my porch this week.... Great stuff too Marty! I especially like the Venezuela batting gloves! :)

Game Used Homeplate

July 4th, 2004 @ Coors Field - Interleague against the Colorado Rockies.

Interesting that the plate is from Coors Field but has Tigers Logo on it. Signed by 28 members of the 2004 Tigers and MLB Authenticated.

I am looking to move this piece... $250.00 DLVD.

Hey guys. My Miggy 281st HR helmet came in the mail today. 4-21-12 in the 8th against the Rangers. I had a bit of buyers remorse after getting off the phone with Marc, but I really like it and it is my first helmet of his I added to my collection... Im in a good place about it at the moment, but we will see how I feel next week.. haha :D

Nice helmet, Ryan. Was this the one for $1,500?

I'm glad that you got it, as you sound like a true fan. :D

Thanks Les! Yes Im a huge fan, and yep thats the helmet. I missed out on the signed/away Miggy Lid a while back that the Tigers auctioned, so I was waiting patiently for another one to come up. Ive had to move a couple of things for the cash for it, but Im real happy I got it. Im going to look back now through the archives on the best way to display helmets since it's my first one. I appreciate the complement on it Les.:)

This is my first full season really following the Tigers (lifelong Twins fan). How many more of these 2012 plates will surface for the regular season, and will they all have the same look? I was pretty surprised to see them offered so early in the year.

Was this one authenticated for the opening day or homestand? You'll see them usually switch them out at mid season & again at the end of the season..So I would say at least 3 this style will be authenticated. Sometimes they do have extras that are not authenticated too. Then they will have new ones if they make the post season for each round..they also had spring training ones which are quite a bit smaller.

[dietdew]

I believe the description said opening day. I already had acquired the spring training plate. There are still both postseason and the 2011 regular season one sitting on Tigers Authentics, but they are priced a little too rich for my taste currently.

On a side note, I'm over the moon as I have completed a deal to bring THE Tigers jersey at the top of my list. A big thanks to the Tigers collector here who made it happen. Here are his pictures:

Is there some significance to home run number 281? I read Marc's original email and wondered about that. Do you know if it may have been used other games also and 281 was the last game, therefore the one that it was authenticated as?

It seems silly if the Tigers swap out his helmets every home run or every game. This monumental "non monument" route leaves me scratching my head. Older items would be marketed as helmet worn during home runs 250-285 or so.

Either way, that's a sweet helmet.

Thanks, I think.. :confused: ... Im waiting on the exact info to be uploaded on the MLB AUTH notes. Im hoping a few were hit with that one for the price. He also told me to check back in with him and he will let me know when the next Miggy signing is so he can sign it for me. 281 is the for-sure home run he hit with it on. Thats why I wrote it. I was really bummed I missed out on the away Helmet auctioned a few months ago, and I admit I might have been a bit over anxious on the item for that price. It is the only piece of my GU Miggy stuff I had a bit of buyers remorse over, as you can probably tell by my posts. In my eyes, whats done is done and in the end I am happy about the addition even though Im not real happy with the price.... So, to answer your question- no, there is no real significance to "non-monumental" HR number 281 he hit with my helmet on.

Miguel Cabrera Game Used bat, photomatched to April 28, 2012 where he hit his 284 career home run. Easy match, although I didnt do a good job holding it up, two distinct sections, same knob, but the easiest was the small piece of logo removed on the sam bat logo. Second Cabby Home Run bat.

You're welcome on the helmet. I was just asking general questions about the way they hype things. Don't worry about buyers remorse, just be sure to love the item that much more to overcome it.

Thanks man. Truth be told, I was thinking the same thing on the significance of an insignificant number... I do really like the helmet. It is my first helmet so it has some meaning and Im not ever planning on selling it, so if I can just get over the initial price tag- things will be all good!!! Thanks for the complaments on my helmet and pants too..:)

Ryan

[DUTCH613]
