John Beck #3 from 2010 preseason,also have another photomatch of the team repair on the shoulder

sorry enter the reed doughty collage instead of the john beck. The doughty doesnt show up too well on here but theres a double repair under the top of the seven. one of the images shows the rip before it was repaired and the other image shows another game after it was repaired. i believe he wore this white jersey throughout the 2010 season

[capitalssticks]

Heres the 2010 John Beck

I think this is a pretty good photo match of my newly acquired Mike Lum 1969 flannel. All the arm pit pinstripe seem to line up perfectly, the Braves across the chest also line up perfectly and the button placements are a prefect match. You rarely find a match on pre 80's jersey, so I'm very happy to own what I think is a prefect match. I'd appreciate others thoughts. You need to open the files, as I'm not sure on how to post them as picture.

Kobe's last worn shirt of the 2010/2011 season

[TJordan522]

I have been collecting hockey jerseys and equipment for around 5 years, and I have been wanting to get started with baseball for a while but never have, besides a few game baseballs. Well, last month I finally picked up my first baseball item: Placido Polanco's game worn hat from the July 4 Phillies vs Marlins game.

One of the things I like about collecting hockey jerseys and equipment is that it is usually very easy to photo match these items. However, what I have noticed with baseball equipment is that matches are much harder to find because there isn't much visible wear on the jerseys, unless they haven't been washed.

I am very happy considering I was able to photo match my first baseball item! The mark is faint, but definitely noticeable.

Somewhat off-topic (but not really) - how do you guys get high-quality zoomed photos to photomatch? Is there freeware available that can help with this? I've tried to photomatch with some items but most of the images available online aren't high-res enough to zoom in without creating a terribly blurry picture.

I always get screenshots in full-screen HD NexDef mode, then paste into Photoshop and save as a JPG

As for full-resolution photos (not screenshots), they can be found all over. I've found photomatches on Flickr, Google. etc, and some people have access to photomatching websites that don't normally post their full-res files so that's where they come from.

It was worn Nov 16, 2008 vs Redskins. The photomatch is pretty obvious but for whatever reason when I take a pic of the jersey that stains are harder to see. This is definitely my favorite item in my collection right now.

My newest Alex Avila. Bat is matched to 2nd, and 5th... he hit HR 11 in the 4th, sadly it was a first pitch. From what Ive seen Alex uses the same bat for a long time... so Im thinking its the same. Rich is the man once again, with a wonderful photo to show the match. Sad the Tig's lost, but rooting for Texas, they got a great team.

Great stuff guys. Anyone good at photo matching? I'm new to this but would love help. Have tried getty images and not a ton of photos of the guy i'm looking for.

[solarlottry]

I was reading a book "San Francisco 49ers The First 50 Years" a few days ago and found a fascinating picture of Ricky Watters wearing a 1994 throwback with the 75th patch sewn right over the horizontal chest seam (last 2 images posted). The issue is that for every game that season they wore the patch sewn right BELOW the chest seam.

I have a # of non throwback 49er gamers (all with team letters and some photo-matched) that show stitch remnants of the 75th patch originally sewn right across the seam. By the time the season started all of the patches had been moved to their eventual location, below the seam. I have never come across a throwback gamer like that though.

I have tried to figure out what game this image was taken but have been unsuccessful. At first I thought it was the home Falcons game so I watched the DVD and on RW's jersey the 75th patch is below the chest seam.

I have the Watters shirt from the Falcons game so I looked for any indication that the patch had been moved and it had not.

While watching the game noticed a white thread sticking out from the Wilson W on the left sleeve. I looked at the jersey and there was the same thread! A nice surprise photo-match!

If anyone can figure out at what game the last 2 images posted were taken that would be quite helpful. I would love to find this RW jersey.

Also interesting is that the Falcons players had the 75th patch sewn in multiple locations. Some had it below, above or sewn right on top of the horizontal chest seam. I found this a bit weird looking as it gave them a kind of haphazard team appearance.

Ryan Braun SAM BAT 4-22-11
1st AB (received a standing ovation from the home crowd for signing a 5 yr./$100 MM extension to stay in Milwaukee).

[solarlottry]

I have been going thru all of my 1994 49er gamers and watching the games on dvd in an attempt to photo-match as many as I can. I have started with the shirts that have the "Bronco game tape" on them, thus identifying the game the shirt was worn in. This has made it a bit easier because at least I know what game to start watching in hopes of a match.

With the JO debacle and the emphasis on photo-matching becoming even more critical, I think this will enhance my collection greatly. Problem is that photo-matching is NOT easy!!! Even knowing the game the shirt was worn, finding a match can be very tough as there has to be something on the jersey to make it matchable.

All of the 1994 gamers I have (except the Rice playoff uniform) have been washed and some used for multiple games thus the shirts can appear very different than when used in the game specified on the LOA and on the "Bronco tape".

I started with the first game of the season vs. The Raiders and came up with a nice match right away.

Ken Norton Jr. home non throwback worn vs. Raiders with team letter. Matched to the hits marks/stains on the right shoulder and to the position of the NFL shield.

What was fascinating was many of the jerseys worn by the 49ers had tons of use at the start of the game. Some had obvious repairs and hits. I think many of the jerseys were worn the entire preseason and then to start the regular season. As the team sold them the shirts were replaced. When the team switched to throwbacks some were converted to throwbacks by changing the #s and removing the sleeve #s.

I have a few other jerseys from this game including:
Richard Dent
Bryant Young (possible as team letter states 94 season)
William Floyd
Ricky Watters
Merton Hanks (possible- no tape identifier and team letter states 94 season)

I hope to post some additional photo-matches as they pop up.

Paul,

Nice match on the Norton! Based on more and more "so called" reputable sports memorabilia companies turning out to be frauds it does bring a lot of controversy on whether the jerseys sold are actually legitimate. The good thing is, you and I have piece of mind with our collections knowing without a doubt that every piece in our collections are are legitimate. Thats why we do the research, know our sources and our jerseys as well as pay the prices associated to know that what we are buying is without a doubt legitimate.

Keep them coming Paul!!!

Martin Prado bat broken in the 8th inning on June 1st. He hit a HR in the sixth inning and had a double earlier in the game. The pine tar is so heavy and wet that the only way I could lay it down was in a bat tube. It came from the Braves so there was no protective packing other than paper and there was pine tar all over the place. These are the matches to the HR and double.

A few new photo-matches to post.

Jerry Rice 2011 Madden launch Flag Football "game used" jersey-NFL Auctions

I also have the 2010 Rice Flag football "game used" jersey but have not found a match yet. The 2011 jersey is much nicer and Rice had it tied up in the back, which was still present when auctioned by the NFL.

Ricky Watters 1994 home non-throwback worn vs the Raiders with team letter. Matched by the loose threads on the front #s. The sleeves were cut very wide and were flapping around quite a bit during the game, thus they were sewn partially closed thereafter.

There are 2 loose threads that match up quite nicely, including the one on the top of the front 3 and on the down sloping medial aspect of the front 3. In my picture of the front of the shirt, the loose thread on the top of the 3 is pressed down against the #, but is there when brushed up.

I have found a match of my Stubblefield gamer with team letter stating it was worn vs. The Eagles as it was also worn vs. The Raiders. The nameplate is a perfect match.

I plan on taking better images of many of these 49er 1994 gamers this weekend, in an attempt to photo/video match as many as I can.

A better image for the Ricky Watters 1994 non-throwback worn vs. Raiders photo-match.

The two loose threads on the front 3 match perfectly.

Also the sleeve #s and the Wilson W placement is a perfect style match. The sleeves, when the jersey was worn in the game, were cut almost to the armpit and were sewn up after the game. I wonder if RW was planning on wearing this shirt again. He decided to go with a jersey that was cut way short instead. In the next home game vs the Eagles, he wore a jersey similar to Deion Sanders's jersey, which was cut way short.

Pictures of the photo-match, repaired sleeve, size tag (48-which seems big) and of the shirt worn vs the Eagles (cut short) are all posted.

Both shirts have team letters and "Bronco tape". I am going to view the Eagles dvd tonight and try and match up the RW from that game as well as a few others.

That is a style match, but definitely not a photo match. The white mark next to the 125th anniversary logo is much closer in the photo than it is on your bat.

[gingi79]

That is a style match, but definitely not a photo match. The white mark next to the 125th anniversary logo is much closer in the photo than it is on your bat.

Actually, like the residue that looks white above his hands, some of the marks were removed by continued use by Prado and faded over time while he used it and the collector who owned it before me while he got it signed admitted to "cleaning it up."

[lakeerie92]

You can see the actual bat better than I can so that is definitely a possibility. I am trying to find more matches, but there isn't many 2009 Prado pictures. I cant even find the photo of him wearing the #1 jersey I used to see all the time. Great looking bat though. That is my favorite style Prado bat. I always watched the ones Zane had.

[lakeerie92]

Actually, like the residue that looks white above his hands, some of the marks were removed by continued use by Prado and faded over time while he used it and the collector who owned it before me while he got it signed admitted to "cleaning it up."

The white residue is just the pine tar. They use rosin and it sticks and makes it white, but once the moisture gets to the rosin it is no longer white.

[solarlottry]

Another nice photo-match obtained while watching the 49ers-Chargers 1994 regular season game.

I have been watching various 94 49er games in an attempt to photo-match as many of my 49er gamers as possible. I was watching the 49er-Charger video in an attempt to match up my Steve Young, Deion or Rice shirts but came up with other matches along the way.

Steve Young, during the game, took very few hits thus his jersey is extremely clean at the game's end. Photo-matching this type of jersey is not easy as there are few identifying marks, hits, repairs etc. Use of the placement of the NFL shield as well as the Wilson sleeve W and 75th patch can help. Loose threads can also be quite the savior.

In general these DVDs suck in terms of quality compared to todays technology, which makes matching that much harder.

One shirt that did have a fantastic match is my Ken Norton Jr. which has a huge blue shoulder mark that matches perfectly.

During the game his jersey got quite dirty but after being washed, it has lost 95% of that "game use". It is such a shame that teams washed and then sold their shirts. The fact that many teams re-used their gamers contributed to there washing.

As I watch more game film I will post more matches.

We will just agree to disagree. You can have your unwanted opinion and I'll enjoy being right.

I guess you missed the title that says post your photomatched items. But thanks for the advice though I oculd have sworn this was a forum of discussion.

Also since its unwanted I will save the part about the mark moving closer to the logo somehow.

2010/2011 devin hester jersey photomatched to high res getty pic

[solarlottry]

Some new photo-matches after watching more 1994 49er games on DVD.

The process of photo-matching is NOT easy. It is tedious, takes much patience, a sharp eye and time. I had to watch certain parts of various games, over and over, just to get the detailed image i needed. Plus when they broadcast these games, the idea of photo-matching was the least of their concerns.

In some games there may not be a single good shot of the player whose jersey you are trying to match. If the player is an offensive or defensive lineman, backup or a special teamer you may be lucky to catch a glimpse of their jersey and it can be from quite a distance away. The lack of hi-def plus the lose of clarity and detail with slow motion and freeze frame, makes it even harder to match things up.

Sometimes you get lucky with a quick match via a loose thread, placement of a patch or NFL shield, team repair or hits/field paint. Customized jerseys always make matching things up that much easier.

QB, WR, CB and kicker shirts are the toughest to match up. I have watched multiple 49er games and the jersey's of Joe Montana, Steve Young, Deion Sanders, Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Eric Davis, Merton Hanks and Doug Brien have survived in remarkably clean condition. There were games where both Montana's and Young's jersey were near spotless at the end.

Post game the team laundered the shirts so well that mud, copious grass stains and other hits/marks/field paint are no longer visible making matches that much more difficult.

My only UNWASHED 1994 49er gamer, a Rice throwback worn in the Divisional round against the Bears is an easy match compared with washed shirts (Floyd, Wallace, Brent Jones) from that game.

That being said, photo-matching, although frustrating at times (and I am trying to match shirts of which I know the game they were worn!) is such a thrill when you strike gold!!!

Someone should really start a service photo-matching gamers for a fee based on the jersey itself (year worn, identifying markers etc). I would pay to have my gamers matched up for sure!!!

After that long introduction I present a:

Deion Sanders 1994 throwback worn 12/17/94 vs the Denver Broncos. A style match was quick and easy but finding the little details of a true photo-match was not so quick.

First match-loose thread on Wilson W on right sleeve

Second match- another loose thread on the D in "SANDERS"

Third match- two loose threads where the nameplate attaches to the jersey on the upper right shoulder. The way the nameplate is slightly raised also matches up nicely.

Fourth match- placement of NFL shield as well as loose thread that comes off of shield. In the game images the thread points down but after laundering etc it now points up and has become looped.

I also am working on a # of other photo-matches from this game including Steve Young, Tim McDonald, Derrick Loville and Klaus Wilmsmeyer.

dang paul! how long did this take?? good job!


Mick-it took hours. I watched the dvd 2 or 3 times and used slow motion during multiple portions over and over. The entire time I was taking images with either my digital camera or my Ipad.

These types of matches are so tough especially since there are so few shots of single players just standing still. Finding the detail one needs to complete a match can be frustrating at times because the dvd has to be frozen at exactly the right moment to capture what u need to photograph.

Plus, remember that I am matching gamers where I already know what game they were worn!!!!!

The Steve Young from the same game as the Deion (vs. Denver) has been much tougher to match than the Deion or Tim McDonald I own. For some reason TV coverage showed only a few shots of McDonald but tons of Hanks and Deion (thankfully and still working on your Hanks match Clay!).

My Young lacks things like loose threads etc. I will find something though as the more one views the dvd and examines the gamers, the more details emerge.

The Tim McDonald jersey has 2 white field paint marks which were easy to match up but hard to get that perfect shot of. Although he played the entire game, he was only shown briefly throughout the DVD. Still a quality match.

Always buying 49ers gamers and paying a hefty finders fee. ANY 1994 49er gamer will be purchased at a great price and with the holidays coming I know someone out there needs $$$ so please sell me your 1994 49er gamers and buy presents!!!

[solarlottry]

An Eric Davis photo-match that was completely unexpected, as I was trying to match up my Deion Sanders gamer, worn vs. the Vikings.

When I am trying to match up a gamer I take as many photos as a I can of any other player who is standing still or of whom I can get a good shot.

Using this method an Eric Davis vs. the Vikings match was made. I knew that the shirt had been worn in that game but had not tried to match it up. Looking at Deion images I noticed a loose thread off of the Wilson W on the left sleeve of the Davis jersey.

A style match was quite simple with regards to the Davis and the loose thread gave me a solid match. The other sleeve also had a loose thread that was much harder to see, but upon closer inspection, it is also seen on another game photo.

Also note the placement of the D in Davis on the nameplate and how it is spaced a bit farther away from the other letters.

The Davis jersey is missing it's team letter but did have the "Bronco" tape which had been placed on the INSIDE of the jersey. When I won this shirt at auction the auction house had not even noticed the tape until I pointed it out.

Hopefully more matches to follow........

Always buying 49er gamers and ALL 1994 49er gamers and paying absolutely top $$$$ for ANY quality 49er gamer.

Also paying a finders fee of up to 500$ for the right shirt!! If someone has a Lee Woodall, Dennis Brown or Derrick Deese 1994 49er gamer or knows who does a hefty finders fee is yours!!!

[solarlottry]

The Eric Davis that I previously matched to the Minn game was also worn a few weeks earlier vs. The Chargers. As I was photo-matching my Deion from the Chargers game I noticed that the Davis nameplate was exactly the same!

I also matched my Deion with team letter that states it was worn vs. the Chargers to that game. The jersey still has 4 loose threads on each corner of the nameplate which show up nicely in the dvd.

Now I am working on a few more matches including 3 94 Steve Young gamers (vs. NO, SD and Denver) as well as 2 94 Rice matches (SD and Dallas).

Always buying 49ers gamers and ALL 1994 49er GU items and paying a ridiculous finders fee for the right item!!!

Just got these today from a guy who knew the game they were worn in and a Dolphins player but wasnt sure who.
Figured it out before i got them.
This is my 2nd pair of Game used gloves.
I have been able to photomatch these as well. I'm 99% sure they were worn by Jeff Zgonina.
LOVE game used items and these gloves HAVE TONS of use.

Sorry not a photomatch, not even a stylematch.

He's saying it's not a match because there's no specific markings that you can clearly see a match from. There's a big difference between a photomatch, a stylematch, and just a photo.

Cool thanks for the info. May have just gotten excited. As it seems VERY hard to photomatch anything let alone a pair of gloves from a lineman.
They are a PC item so i'm not too worried on who exactly they are. From that phot it looks like it could be him if not either way its a nice addition to the Dolphins GU items pc.
Still very new to this so i'm sure i will eventually get the hang of the photomatching/style match.
Always appreciate the help and opinions of you guys here.

I know what you mean; just take a look at the first few posts from this thread. Even I got confused about the exact meaning of photomatching and I was posting tons of stuff that wasn't anywhere near a photomatch. But that's what this site is for; to learn and enjoy the hobby!

[EricTheRed44]

Hello all,

New to forum. Recently purchased an Eric Davis bat that someone bought at Orioles fest. Its somewhat hard to find photos or game footage of Eric playing, I had to use baseball cards for this match. Yes I know its not nearly as good as other peoples matches, but looks pretty promising to me. Hopefully I can get a better image. The photos on the baseball cards actually look like a better match than the photo.

Looking forward to getting other possible matches of Eric Davis.

Joe

[nycpropain]

I think that mark is on every Davis bat that year for testing the wood.Also the mark appears further from the stripe in the photo than on the bat. Finally the wood grain dont look like it matches up.

[alexbartacustoms]

Here is my Peerless Price 2005 Thanksgiving Day Game-Used Throwback Jersey. I love that it's photo matched to an actual card. His Upper Deck Sweet Spot shows him wearing this exact jersey. e only played in Dallas for one season, and the Cowboys only wore these jerseys on Thanksgiving Day in 2005. They lost to the Broncos 24-21 in overtime. Price had 2 catches for 15 yards and 2 kick returns for 10 yards. Not much of a game, but it's cool none the less. It is Prova tagged and shows some nice hit marks on the shoulders.

[Klattsy]

Just a quick question, is it still considered a photo match if you have an MiLB jersey, and the player was only issued 1 per year, but there aren't any discernible marks or threads you can match it with? I mean if he is only issued 1 jersey, then any photo of him in that jersey should be a match right? Or is that stretching it a bit?

Mark.

[Hog]

Here is another one that is not so easy to see, but it did help by knowing which game it originated from. This is Manning from 12/3/06 against the Titans.

This does not look like a match.

one has 11 holes in the first row of mesh in the "8" and the other has 12.

[Hog]

My bad, I see that the two close ups where of the same jersey, top and bottom of the "8" I thought they were a comparison zoom in. Looks legit now that I realized that.

[shaunharr]

Where is the photo match? I see a style match, but nothing that shows this to be a photo match.

There is no exact match to a certain tear or something along those lines. But the photo match is the fact that he told me it has been the only glove he has used for the past six years.

Coco Crisp 2007 Red Sox left handed helmet. MLB authenticated to the '07 World Series and photo matched to games all throughout the entire season. The game picture was from an April game vs the Yankees- so this helmet most definately saw a full season of use! This helmet is pounded! Although his playing time was limited in the WS, I'm going to try to find some video of him wearing this helmet. He pinch ran in the clinching game 4, and I gotta find out if he was wearing his lefty helmet while on the base paths!

Thanks Bobby! I actually will have the DVD set w/all the games coming in the mail any day now. I don't think they issued this set in HD, but hopefully it will be clear enough to make out many marks on this helmet.

Brian, nice match. Also... nice skates!

[brianborsch]

Thanks! The bat pictured in the auction was actually a different bat so I was happy to get this bat. However I don't like the deadwood on it.

And the skates are my girlfriends! It's funny how we can forget about the background visuals in our pictures. Good eyes man!

Hey guys got this in Dec was able to photo match it shortly thier after but never posted here in this thread.
I matched it to at least the Browns game in 2005. Thier is a black line on the right sholder clearly in the pic and on the jersey.
Thinking he wore this for a few games and maybe the entire season as it has a ton of other marks on it.

[hockeytigers]

I was digging around on ebay (my favorite spot to photo match) and what do I find...a photo from 1986 showing one of my jerseys...Dave Jennings Jets jersey. I knew with the customization on the jersey that it was good, but I was shocked to see that the photo showed the inside of the pocket and a perfect photo match. I have seen enough baseball photo matches to know that the stripes are the easiest way to photomatch a jersey...I had no idea that I would be able to use the same technique for a football jersey. The pocket is made of an old flannel baseball jersey. There is also a thread up by the vneck that is also a match...

[punch]

I got a match on my 2010 Jason Kubel coolflo helmet, thanks again to Dach0sen0ne. Guy is good!

It has MLB auth FJ 183454 which is for Sept 22nd 2010. One day after the Twins clinched the AL central title. The Twins sat most of their starters that day, cept Kubel and Span. Kubel didn't have a great day at the plate. The helmet has a major crack and scuff on the back so I wonder if he had a little dugout tantrum at some point during the game. Trevor Plouffe pinch hit for him in the 9th. Who knows.

The white scuff on the top is the major tell.

Brad Lidge's uniform from the Phillies' "Retro" night against the Padres on July 22, 2011. It's MLB Hologram is specified to the game, and as well yu can notice the pinstripe through the "4" on the left side, as well as the inside tail of the "P" are the same.

1994 Ricky Watters home throwback worn vs the Falcons. Complete with team letter.

Photo-matched by the loose thread off the Wilson W on the right sleeve. Also a perfect style match by the way the sleeves are custom cut and by placement of the NFL shield.

Have the William Floyd shirt from this game and working on that match today.

This is not a photomatch as you have not shown your items or shown any similar marks etc. to show they are in fact the same. And having a holo or coa saying its from the game isnt a photomatch.

[BernBabyBern]

I had a great Robinson Cano pick-up in early February. Purchased a game used rookie bat from 2005. Rawlings Pro model.

I have photomatched(thanks to Kyle and Absolon) it to a specific at bat on August 6, 2005 vs. the Toronto Blue Jays. Bat is absolutely crushed with use, autographed and uncracked with the #22 on the knob. Elite Sports Marketing LOA.

One of the most famous games Bill Walsh and the 49ers ever played occurred September 20th, 1987, an away contest vs the Bengals. The 49ers were losing the entire game and the Bengals left 2 seconds on the clock. More than enough time for Montana to hit Rice for a game winning 25 yard TD!!!

It was one of two games where Walsh commented that "he felt complete euphoria after the game" and that he "skipped off the field"! The other game where he felt that way-the 1981 NFC Championship!

I have absolutely style matched my Lott gamer to the Bengals contest and feel like it COULD be a photo-match. I will confirm this after watching the entire game a couple of times and taking better images of my Lott gamer (which is packed under about 150 other 49ers gamers!).

Lott wore custom sleeves and these sleeves were usually widened by the addition fabric, inserted into each sleeve as an upside down U shape. The recent sale of a mid 80s Lott in the MEARS auction had this exact modification, as did a shirt sold by Legendary a few years ago.

Prior to this modification, he wore his sleeves open, but I was told by a long time 49er collector, that the NFL did not like his open sleeves flapping around, thus the added fabric.

Please let me know what the forum thinks. The # and letter font are perfect matches and I think the open sleeves are also damn close.

I will take numerous images of the jersey tomorrow and finish watching /photographing the Lott game footage. I will post everything I find so hopefully I have a match!!!

If this shirt is a match, that would be epic for the 80s portion of my collection. I purchased the Lott shirt from an old time 49er collector, who was told by Bronco that the jersey was worn in 1987. The shirt came with a Beta tape of the game it was supposedly used. In that game the sleeves were taped up mid game, as the opposing team complained about them.

The first 8 images are my jersey followed by game footage and the last two are examples of his custom sleeves with the added fabric.

This kind of stuff makes this hobby quite exciting at times and rewarding when matches like this pop up!!!

Always buying 49er GU and ALL/ANY 1994 49er GU items!!!! Paying a finders fee for info resulting in a sale.

Looking for a Steve Young USFL gamer or uniform and have numerous 49er gamers to trade including a 1993 Rice and a 1990 Montana-both with team letters.

A new photo-match for the 49ers collection:

Ricky Watters game worn rookie shirt photo-matched to his Pro Set rookie card. Notice how the NFL shield placement matches up perfectly on both the shirt and the card. Also the placement of the Wilson W on the left sleeve also seems to match nicely.

Watters missed all of his rookie year due to injury but may have played in preseason. The jersey has the D year tag which dates the shirt to 1991. It also has a nameplate made of the same material that my other 1991-1992 49er gamers have.

Just had the pleasure of picking up 13 1994 49er practice worn jerseys. Many were GU shirts that had been worn by the same player in games in previous seasons but others are recycled gamers from the late 1970s thru 1989. The gamers have had the nameplates removed but all show extensive use with multiple repairs.

The class of the lot is the Deion Sanders red practice shirt previously worn by Ralf Mojsiejenko. Deion wore #2 in practice but #21 in games. The shirt is a perfect style match and no doubt a photo-match just by looking at the placement of the Wilson W over the sleeve #s. What is amusing is that of all the shirts, Deions has the least use!!! My buddy who was the junior assistant equipment manager of the team from 1993-1998 told me that Deion would NEVER practice and had a lazy-boy in the locker room, complete with video games and that they would play videos, eat and try on free sneakers all day!

Craig Biggio Game Used/Photo-Matched 1990 Astros Bat

Photo dates to April 19-22, 1990 versus the LA Dodgers. This photo of Biggio is one of the most popular for autograph collectors. I have had a framed 16 x 20 of this shot in my office for 5 years and didn't know the bat was nearby. The bat was clearly used long after this photo was taken and later was retired due to the slightest grain separation.

Special thanks to Kyle Hess for helping overlay the match here. I can't tell you how excited I was to stumble upon this.

I picked up this Albert Pujols Sam bat from a Cardinals fan that was handed the bat directly from Pujols after he cracked it during a game vs the Rockies in 2007 at Colorado.

I was able to photo match the Pujols Sam bat to two seperate getty image photos.

On May 6, 2007 Pujols used the bat against the Houston Astros and on May 28, 2007 vs. Colorado Rockies. This must be the same Rockies game where Pujols handed the bat to the original owner.

I bought this thinking I would have no luck in photomatching but I was saved by a tiny thread:D What do you all think?:confused:

I think for it to be considered a photomatch, it needs to have more than one identifying mark. It is conceivable that another of the player's jerseys has a loose thread in the exact same location. However, if you find a couple of other identifying marks, it's highly unlikely to be a different jersey.

I wouldn't call this a grail item but it is an item that is very close to my heart. My parents got me into hockey in 1993 where they took me to my very first New Jersey Devils game. Once the game was over, I became hooked and Bernie Nicholls became my first favorite hockey player on the Devils, even though he was only on the team for two years.

Picked up this Adrian Beltre bat in an MLB Auction knowing it was cracked in Oakland during a series I attended in 2011. In the first inning of the game on 9/20 he absolutely pulverized a 3-run homer to CF. One of the hardest balls I have ever seen hit in person. I was hoping this bat in the auction was it and it turned out to be. I photomatched it to the 3-run homer in Oakland on 9/20. Also to a 2-run bomb he hit in Seattle on 9/18 vs. King Felix. I'm also pretty sure that he homered off of Vargas in Seattle on 9/17 as well.

Nice Kobe jersey but I don't think the match is there for the last picture. I believe that is a different jersey in the last back shot. If you look at the "R" on the back of the jersey there are more mesh holes present on the left side of the "R" than on the jersey that you have which seems to match up better with the first shot.

Eddie George's game worn Titans jersey photomatched to the 1/3/2004 playoff game v. the Baltimore Ravens - Eddie's last playoff win (and, unfortunately, the Titans last playoff win to date).

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. Thanks to Rich for the photomatch help, he has helped make my collection even better.

Fitting I put this on here since the Devils just defeated the Flyers in Game 4 of the playoffs...

Zach Parise 08-09 Red Set 2 Game Worn Jersey (Meigray). I was able to photomatch a repair on the jersey to a photo from the January 4th 2009 game against the Ottawa Senators

Alrodis Chapman signed Nike game used glove, from the 2012 Baseball Battle Gear Charity Auction. The glove shows lots of use and is broken in nicely.

Photo matched to his 2011 rookie season. The design marks stamped on the leather matches up perfectly with the getty image. Also video matched and photo matched an untied lace that matches up perfectly on the back of the glove.

On September 9, 2011 pitching against the Rockies, Alrodis threw a pitch clocked at 101 mph using this glove.

Thanks,

Markakis bat that was used on 5-27-2009. When Nick signed it he told me this bat was made for when he had to face Mariano Rivera.

I'm curious as to what Markakis meant by that? Does that bat have
a thicker handle to prevent breakage?

This bat is smaller than the ones he normally uses, definitely shorter, it also has a pretty good amount of tape around the knob. I would have to assume he was referring to the size of the bat and tape job.

Wow that's pretty cool. That's respect right there when you use
a special bat just for a specific pitcher.:cool:

While trying to match my new acquired Bart Oates playoff/SB jersey, I was able to match my Ricky Watters home throwback supposedly worn in the NFC championship to the divisional round vs the Bears, played the week prior.

Ricky Watters game worn home throwback worn vs Bears with team letter and "Bronco tape" stating that jersey was worn in NFC Championship. Photo-matched by loose thread in armpit next to customized sleeves.

The interesting thing is that I have not been able to match the jersey to the NFC Championship! It would not be the first time that the team mixed up jerseys and LOAs as I have seen this before with a Steve Young 1994 throwback. What is even more interesting is that it was done by the equipment manager as the cloth tape on the nameplate states "DALLAS 1/15/95".

If the jersey turns out not to have been worn in the NFC Ch. then I can live with that as I have Rice's, Brent Jones's, Rickey Jackson's, Bart Oates's, Derrick Loville's and Tim Harris's jerseys from the divisional round.

The jersey has been washed but shows nice use but an NFC Championship gamer vs a Divisional Round gamer are two different things. Just another day in the GU hobby world!

Always buying 49er GU!
