October pick-ups

[gameused]

Manny Ramirez 2009 Nike bat

It's hard to see in the photos, but the barrel shows great use with a number of deep ball stitch impressions, ink transfers, leather ball marks and heavy tar to the Nike logo and mid handle area. The knob is stamped 5/13/09

I have style matched the bat to his comeback in July after his suspension and I'm currently working on a photo match.

Bobby

[gameused]

Benny Agbayani game worn Tides cap and signed 1999 Mets pants.

These were given to me by one of the nicest guys here on the forum and in the Hawaiian islands, Ron (Islandstyle).

This is my first game used cap and baseball pants in my collection and I want to say "thank you Ron" for these rare Benny items.

Ron has given me the opportunity to purchase some really nice GU Benny items over the last few months and he is one classy gentleman as those of you who have dealt with him already know.

Thanks again Ron!

Bobby

[island_style]

Hi, Bobby.

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm so glad that you liked the Benny cap and pants! I found the cap while searching through my collection and thought it would be a nice addition to your Tides jersey.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

I should have posted this in the September Pick-Ups, but I never got around to it.

2007 Brian Urlacher Game Used - Signed - Nike Assassin Cleats.

I searched all of the preseason and regular season game footage from '07 & '08 and the only pic(s) I could find with Brian wearing these cleats was from 9/14/2008 @ Carolina.

These are not Brian's signature Blade Pro D style cleats leading me to believe they were a trial pair and from what I found, only worn once.

Here's a couple more of my latest pick-ups.

Excellent bat!! (usual jealously toward Bobby sets in...)

[Birdbats]

Just received my Bobby Joe Mason Harlem Globetrotters jersey from the recent Grey Flannel auction. I don't know if I'd call this a "grail," but it's something I always wanted and never thought I'd find. Mason was a standout for the Centralia (IL) Orphans (my high school) and for Bradley University in the 1950s. He joined the Globetrotters the year I was born and played with them until 1976. When I think of the Globetrotters, I always think of the team with Meadowlark Lemon, Curly Neal, Geese Ausbie, Marques Haynes and Bobby Joe. This one's a keeper.

[kylehess10]

Hey Bobby I got your e-mail about the Manny bat. I'll get you some screenshots tonight....



As for my pickup...I just got this bat yesterday for free. It's a Dan Uggla game used bat from August 22nd, 2009. I videomatched the crack. There's this lady at Turner Field that gives my photography to all the players and she gets some for herself too to get signed, and in return she gave me this bat. She has also given me other stuff like sold out tickets for the Yankess & Red Sox games back in June....dugout seats for various other games atleast 5 or 6 times this season in the 1st row.....more autographs.....etc. She got the bat from the clubhouse since they had some cracked bats and were just giving them away. She had Uggla sign it for me before the game.

gatorcollector, I remember seeing that on JO's website and thought it was just a matter of time before you picked it up. Not a Gator fan but I liked Fason when he was in college. Nice pickup!

[brianborsch]

Just got this today. Enjoy!

Thanks, Bobby

[anatfan09]

Obtained dirrectly from AAA bat boy, probably from 06', not an expert. Also not sure what that is on the knob whether it is a symbol or what. The bat boy assured me he watched him crack it right in front of him, gave him one other bat & actually even traded a glove with him.

[halofan]

Picked up Mike Scioscia game worn jersey with LOA from Angels from 2007:)

[Kid4hof03]

I have not posted on here for quite some time. I just picked up a 1991 NLCS Lonnie Smith game used bat. It shows nice use, slightly cracked.

[Mauer7]

Picked this up today. Its holo'd to the 21st of July. He hit HR's on the 18th and 20th, so I hope this is a HR bat. I am hoping Kyle Hess can help me on that. Here are the pics.

[worldchamps]

I've had these for a while but just got them signed tonight at the Mavs Fan Jam. The Kidd is a rookie year warm up and the Dirk is from his MVP season.

[dcgreg25]

I just added a grail item to my collection. To most it is a fairly common game-used baseball from the 08/22/2007 Texas Rangers @ Baltimore Orioles game. During this game, the Rangers set a club record by compiling 29 hits and scoring 30 runs. While the milestone is not all that important, it was my son's first baseball game ever. I was not fortunate enough to catch a ball at the game but this will go in my permanent collection.

Cool pickup! Given the way the Rangers were hitting balls out, you must've been the only one at the stadium who didn't catch a ball! :D

[dcgreg25]

Thanks for the note treant985.

I also just picked up a bunch of Matt Laporta items from PCM sports. They were great to deal with and made what I thought was a good deal with me on a Laporta GU Aeros jersey, batting gloves, cleats, Clippers hat and bat.

Game Used Bats - Where in the world did you get the pounded Jeter bat?

Thanks

[spartakid]

Picked this up today. Its holo'd to the 21st of July. He hit HR's on the 18th and 20th, so I hope this is a HR bat. I am hoping Kyle Hess can help me on that. Here are the pics.

Why is this bat on ebay?

[Mauer7]

Maybe because I just put it on Ebay? Just a guess.

[spartakid]

I figured as much, just noting it's usually observed that if you are going to immediately sell something, i.e. 2 days after posting, it doesn't go in the pick-ups section....but the classifieds.

[chakes89]

Picked up my 4th Jay Bruce game used bat tonight on eBay:

Gotta keep some money back for that :D

Paul Loduca's 2003 Dodgers helmet, used during 25-game hitting streak. Found some good photo matches.

[shoremen44]

nice helmet... looks like a nice match too

[skipcarayislegend]

Thanks, Bert. It was the match that "made" me buy it. :) I didn't need another Dodgers helmet, but the price was fair and I figured why not.

[Larry Pelliccioni]

Sports related but movie worn (a weakness of mine). Two Duluth Bulldogs uniform tops meant to resemble jerseys from that era. Both players appeared on screen and they have a great vintage look. I have #'s 1 and 21.

Picked up a couple of Tejada bats, the one from 08 is hammered and the one from 09 shows light but definite use.

Just picked up my second 2009 Ian Kinsler Gamer to add to my collection from a fellow forum member.....Thanks a lot Mike!

[Game Used Bats]

Just got in these two Arod's. Both show fantastic use and are uncracked!

[ahuff]

I figured as much, just noting it's usually observed that if you are going to immediately sell something, i.e. 2 days after posting, it doesn't go in the pick-ups section....but the classifieds.

I see another "recent pickup" that is listed on the bay. Not only that, but I believe the source, noted in the auction, may be inaccurate. I don't know who it most recently belonged to, but I know I sold two of the three items off a while ago. I purchased them from a minor league collector for around $150, back in 2006. I think early 2008 I sold them, on ebay buy-it-now, for $250. That was after I struggled to get them sold a few other times, as an ebay auction for less. Practically the day they must have arrived to the buyer they were listed on ebay for $2,500. I thought that was unrealistic. I saw them on there for quite awhile. . .I'm thinking a year or so. Based on this post, they must have exchanged hands again. Now they have ballooned even more.

[3arod13]

Just got in these two Arod's. Both show fantastic use and are uncracked!

Add larger pictures. Are they both cracked?

Sparta (Ricardo).....

Welcome to your first (and hopefully last) communication with Mr. Congeaniality, Mauer7.

He's a likable guy, eh? I kind of equate my correspondences with him to biting down on my favorite piece of halloween candy......only to find a hidden razorblade........geez, such a disappointment!

[spartakid]

Yea, I thought my original comment was fairly benign, and that it would get the point across without callling him out......

[R. C. Walker]

Picked this up from the Heritage Auction. My Dad took me to two games in '74, both games started by Dave Freisleben . . . This 1974 piece won't be seen on eBay anytime soon.:D

[allstarsplus]

Just picked up my second 2009 Ian Kinsler Gamer to add to my collection from a fellow forum member.....Thanks a lot Mike!

In years to come, these 2009 Louisville's will be looked on as "must have" bats! That Kinsler looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hiflyer56]

Just picked up a Darrelle Revis game worn jersey... Well i pre-ordered it... From who else JOSPORTS. Best guys out there! I'll post pics when i receive it!

[sox83cubs84]

Two lids were received in the mail today from a bullpen coach (Juan Nieves, White Sox) and a supersub (Scott Hairston, A's). Never hurts to make friends with guys in uniform and discover their interests for potential swaps.

[WadeInBmore]

Just got this in the mail today...it was originally purchased directly from the Knights and included the original reciept.

2005 Frank Thomas minor league rehab Charlotte Knights jersey. Sizing and numbering are correct for his rehab assignment. Shows tremendous use, and an obvious renumbering, most likely from the need to fit big Frank into a jersey larger then most :) .

Attached are the pics of the front and the back. Also attached is a shot of the Big Hurt in a 41 jersey from the Knights...its just not the mesh style that I have. I've had difficulty finding Frank in the mesh BP style jersey while at the Knights, but am 100% confident in its legitamacy.

[Kid4hof03]

Last week I showed a Lonnie Smith 1991 NLCS bat that I had just gotten. I was able to trade the Smith for a Ron Gant NLCS bat. The Smith had better use but since I collect all things Gant this was a trade I was thrilled to make!
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k271/Kid4hof03/gant1.jpg?t=1255024810

[tknorm]

two nice Braves bats:-) love the Gant. one of my favorites in-person game experiences was when he hit a grand slam vs the Pirates in the 92 NLCS.

[skipcarayislegend]

Sweet bat, Abe! Congrats!

[Kid4hof03]

Thanks guys, I really love this bat. It goes well with my 1991 Gant braves jersey.

Jason, thanks again for putting the original owner in touch with me!

Abe

Thought I would share my latest 'pick-up'.

2009 David Wright Louisville Slugger W305M
MLB Hologram broken and collected 9/08/09

I have photomatched this bat as early as August 11 when the Mets were in Arizona. It looks like there are no marks on the bat then and it is brand new. I traced it's use through a number of at bats and photo matched it to the August 15 home game against the Giants where David was struck in the head and suffered a concussion. The photos of David batting are from the actual 'at bat' where he suffered the concussion. The additional ball marks due to the bat being used in a number of other at bats before it was broken.

After returning from the DL on September 1, he used it a few more times until it was finally broken and collected on September 8.

Thanks

A few weeks ago the West Michigan Whitecaps put their jerseys on sale after the weekend. After talking to the Merch lady about the unsold jerseys and how they were reused. No suprise. I asked her what happened to all the nameplates that were stripped from the reused jerseys. She did not know. After talking to the lady who sews the jerseys nameplates it turns out she saved them. 100+ dating back to 2000. I picked up the following from her this morning.

Alfredo Figaro from 2008

Omar Infante from 2000

Ryan Raburn from 2002-2003

2009 David Wright Game Used Louisville Slugger W305M

Bat has a heavy coat of Mota Stick on the handle and light use overall. Wright starting using a few of these black finish LVSs towards the end of the this season.

There's not. Just sloppily written by Murph.

[treant985]

I passed on that Murphy bat because it looks like their was another number written under that 3 on the knob and barrel end.

Probably a slip of the pen. It could be hard to write inside those old cups since you have to hold the pen by the end.

[skipcarayislegend]

Probably a slip of the pen. It could be hard to write inside those old cups since you have to hold the pen by the end.

Agreed. Murph's "3" is the only one that was ever written on that bat. Great bat, btw. Had it on my watch list and it ended pretty quickly.

1996 Alex Rodriguez "1st Career Grand Slam" Game Used Bat

congrats tony

funny. when you said you had something big, i emailed the original owner about his bat as its been something i thought of doing, putting the bat and ball together eventually. and grdslam is a really nice guy too. he gave me no indication that he had sold it to you so i thought maybe it was another bat you were after. never imagined he would let it go. must have given him an offer he couldnt refuse.

super bat. glad its in a diehard arod collection now.

i have a ball transfer test i was going to look into too.

later

joel

[Bondsgloves]

Tony, very nice bat!

I'm happy that in the end you were able to get something really special to you. Funny how things turn out. I'm sure you were depressed about the other rawlings bat you had, that turned out not to be a HR bat as described. Good things happen to good people. Enjoy your new prized possesion!

[lehmsbobby]

Nick Johnson game used batting gloves.

Untorn, with great use and pine tar.



Thanks Gyro!

Hello,

[sctizzle]

I'll have pix up later tonight or tomorrow, but just got the following Phillies bats with MLB hologram. All uncracked and most show great use. All are from the 08 season except for Ibanez as it has an 06 date on it, but was with him in Philly...

3 Utleys Marucci's, 2 with August date stamps and one mid October stamp. 2 Heavy use, the October is on the lighter side, but a great looking bat.

Jayson Werth--hammered black Easton with shaved handle

Carlos Ruiz--hammered 2 tone Zinger

Pedro Feliz--light use Marucci with late September stamp.

Raul Ibanez--hammered Rawlings stamped 06 on the knob.

[5kRunner]

Received my first jersey today. Been a bat guy until now. I think I got a steal for this jersey, so I took it.

Its either an 06 or 07 Geovany Soto BP Jersey. I could only find one pic, so the search is on. Unfortunately, without a higher resolution pic, I can't call it a match on the loose thread.

[sox83cubs84]

Nice grab...it's a 2006. In 2007 the Cubs went to BPs with the colored side panels (as did everybody else in MLB), and the pro-issue code beginning in 2007 was 0068....0065 was used in 2003-06 MLB-issued BP shirts.

Thanks Dave! I couldn't remember when the Cubs went to the BP Jerseys with the colored side panels. Thanks for the info on the codes too. Good to know!

[Kid4hof03]

I just picked up a Gary Carter presentation bat from the 1981 all star game. This is the first Carter presentation bat I have seen on the market, I love that it is from his first AS game MVP; that also happens to be my favorite all star game.

Awesome bat. Wouldn't mind seeing a Thome one day.:D

[SkubeBats]

I just picked up all these Alcides Escobar bats this month. They all show great game use. He's the Brewers top prospect and maybe the 2010 N.L. Rookie of the Year!!

I have a nice collection of Alcides Escobar. I have 15 game used bats, 6 game used jerseys, 1 pair of batting gloves, 1 locker nameplate, and 1 game used batting helmet. I hope to add more items to my collection.

[Birdbats]

Added a couple HOF bats yesterday. The Kirby Puckett bat matches factory records from '92, '94 and '95 (P339, 34.5"/32 oz.). The Robin Yount matches records from '83 (P72C, 35"/33 oz.). A couple of my favorite non-Cardinals players!

Well, I almost scored a cracked Pedro Ciriano bat at the Scottsdale Scorpions (Arizona Fall League) game today...but I was edged out by an obviously more qualified and dedicated collector.

Ah, to be 22, female, wearing a filmy halter top. :rolleyes:

I'm guessing her boyfriend will have the bat up on eBay within a couple of days.

On the brighter side, I've got my DBacks prospects ball all signed, and have started on the Scorpions cap. Brandon Allen put a very nice, big sig on the bill for me today, and a couple of others signed as well. They've got Japanese players on the Scorpions and Desert Dogs teams this year, and I'm getting all of those guys on one ball. Almost hurt myself trying to pronounce one of their names today. ("Tsujiuchi-san!")

Tomorrow, I get to stalk Brant Brown, former Cub and currently hitting coach for the Surprise Rafters, to get Mike's two bats signed.

Got this new Billy Butler MLB holo. According to MLB, it was broken in first inning of game on 7/19/2008 at Chicago White Sox. I figured I stand a good chance of matching it to 7/18/2008, when Billy had a couple hits including a Homerun. Alas, I have checked all my normal editorial photo site and can find nothing around that date. Might have to try some MLBTV footage at some point.

Hope the league sticks

I enjoyed it as well, got tons of great close up pictures. However, I did catch one player actually urinating on the sidelines. Never before have I seen that before. Where you at tonight's game?

[lehmsbobby]

Actually I was at the New York California game in San Francisco...

[lehmsbobby]

was surprised to see Simeon Rice playing in the league... and got to give him a fist bump ;)

[LastingsMilledge85]

He played tonight and didn't do too much. The attendance was very low for the game as I would have expected. The players were great to the fans, despite the sideline incident one player made indecent:D

[lehmsbobby]

yep. i was kinda disappointed by the crowd, probably only 2-3 thousand.

but they ended up getting into it by the third quarter, chanting at Dennis Green "We play to win the game!"

[LastingsMilledge85]

There were a few nuts in the crowd some with no shirts in the cold weather. Everyone was in awe though when Koren Robinson made an attempt to one up David Tyree on best catches, he would have beaten him, if it was ruled a catch.

[lehmsbobby]

ya he seemed like a nice guy.

im a big vikings fan and yelled Koren to him and he winked back and said whats up

[brianborsch]

Just added this one to my Longoria collection. It's a team issued bat of Evan's from 2009. You can see the difference in signature brand compared to my issued WS bat of his from 2008. Enjoy!

Just picked up 13 Jeff Cross team-issued Miami Dolphins game balls and/or presentation footballs and some framed team-issued Dolphins and Pro-Bowl photographs. With the exception of 1 football, all of the bladders need to be replaced - which isn't that big of a deal.

Just picked up a couple of vintage Duke footaballs. The auction house and JSA calls both of them 1960 St. Louis Cardinals team signed footballs. They may be as they say but Bert Bell died in 1959 and Pete Rozelle took over in 1960.

1959 was the last year of the Chicago Cardinals and Bert Bell as Commissioner. In 1960, the Chicago Cardinals became the St. Louis Cardinals and Pete Rozelle was the new Commissioner. So, one football may be the last year of the Chicago Cardinals and the other the first year of the St. Louis Cardinals. Either way, there are terrific footballs.

The signatures are light so it's hard to pinpoint the year the footballs are actually from.

Being from Hawaii originally, I have a bias for this guy. He is also a pretty good ball player. If you need some walks, he is your man. With a little bit of power to match. I managed to pickup all 3 of Kila Ka'aihue's AAA GU Jerseys from this year. I also got his hat and game pants as well.

In a separate auction, I amanged to pickup a GU Royals jersey of Kila as well. Enjoy!

These were given to me by one of the nicest guys here on the forum and in the Hawaiian islands, Ron (Islandstyle).

This is my first game used cap and baseball pants in my collection and I want to say "thank you Ron" for these rare Benny items.

Ron has given me the opportunity to purchase some really nice GU Benny items over the last few months and he is one classy gentleman as those of you who have dealt with him already know.

Thanks again Ron!

The "pickup" has been a work in progress, and hopefully the Cubs fans out there will get a kick out of it. On September 23, 1998 a fly ball off the bat of Geoff Jenkins was lofted to left field for the last out of the Cubs/Brewers game. Well.... thats not how it ended up. Brant Brown dropped the ball, and Ron Santo had his first "heart attack" in the radio booth - screaming NOOOO for what seemed like 10 minutes.

I picked up this 1998 Brant Brown gamer a year ago, had Santo sign it two months ago (added NOOOO) and Jeff did me a huge favor and was able to get Brant to sign it (and another Brown gamer) during a recent game in Winter ball.

[sox83cubs84]

Santo is one-of-a-kind...maybe not the most astute color commentator, but he and Pat Hughes are entertaining whether the Cubs are up 9-0 or down 9-0.
He belongs in Cooperstown...too bad the current members are so elitist about their fraternity.
