Thanks to MLB for this one. I got a "reward" for voting in the ASG final man vote, a free temporary subscription to MLB.TV. So I started searching for a couple photomatches. This bat first hit the market from a June-July 2010 auction hosted by Miguel Cabrera. I figured he personally acquired the bat from Billy in the early June Tigers at Royals series. So I started there and worked my way back to 5/31/2010 when I photomatched this bat to the at bat when it broke in the second inning. Photomatched it to the game before on 5/30/2010, and could tell it had a lot of previous use. So I went back to the most recent HR on 5/26/2010 and photomatched to that as well. So, looks like this bat was used for close to a week. The highlight being HR #5 of 2010, which was career HR #45.

Just for fun, I went ahead and also matched the bat to a walk and two doubles on 5/25/2010.

And to all four hits in a 4 for 5 with a double on 5/23/2010.

By my count I'm up to 8 games of use from 5/23/2010 to 5/31/2010, including a HR, 3 Doubles, and a 4 for 5 game. A span totaling 13 for 28 (.464), with 3 Doubles and a HR.

Not sure if this was the play that caused the tear on the back, but thought it was pretty cool.

Here's an Evan Longoria Louisville Slugger I13 from 2009 that had two eyes drawn on the barrel in marker. One was later smeared on contact.

Most of my jerseys I've had to match up with loose threads or very minor hit marks. So I was very happy to pick up a jersey with so much wear that was easy to match.

I just picked up one of my favorite players, Justin Smith.
I watched this guy play in high school, college at the University of Missouri and now in the pros.
It's a trashed 2005 black Bengals jersey photo matched to the season opening home game against Cleveland on 9/11/2005.
Check out the 2 holes on the back of the jersey to the right of the 0.
I'm working on matching it to other games as well.
The Bengals are cheap!
I'm sure he used this in more than just one game.

Folks, I'd like to get some help on this one please.

Just picked up this Piazza ASG Rawlings BP bat (stamped AS/02 on the knob) and found this photo of Mike during BP in the 2002 ASG. The bat I have does not have his number written on the knob like the one in the photo.

The large circular grain near the top as well as the grains in the sweet spot seem to match up.

Thanks

Posted this in the January pickups thread but wanted to share it here as well.


Got this in earlier week. It's my first NFL jersey, my first Bengals jersey and one of my grails so I was extremely happy to add it to my collection. Also wanted to give a thank you to everyone I spoke to with the Bengals, they were awesome in tracking this down for me. They really went the extra mile. I will definitely be buying more jerseys from them in the future.

2012 Vontaze Burfict Game Worn Home Jersey worn 12-30-2012 against the Baltimore Ravens.

I found a clear photomatch on Getty images for the Ravens game and I'm working on other games because, as I tried to show in the photos, this jersey is TRASHED. There are numerous team repairs, hit marks and even a few small holes around the right shoulder area.

2010 Scott Rolen Game Used Multi-HR pounded Cincinnati Reds LVS. A great example from his Gold Glove and All-Star season. I've photomatched to every at-bat Scott had from June 1 though June 9 in the 5th inning. There couldn't have been a better grain pattern.

During this time he used the bat during for (at least) 8 games and went 11/28 at the plate, batting at an almost .400 Avg with 3 Home Runs, 1 Triple, 4 Doubles, and 9 RBI's.

I've including a sampling of the 11 matched hits: The first photo is his 1st HR on 6/1, second photo is his Triple on 6/7, and the third photo is his Double on 6/9 - his last hit before it cracked.

2012 Carlos Correa (2012 #1 overall pick) game used Greenville Astros home jersey & bat. Went to the last home game of the year and jersey auction night for the G. Astros to try my luck at winning the Correa home jersey and it was well worth the trip! Got to go down in the dugout after the game to meet and talk to him for a while, great guy!

Mick nice match!

It seems to me that NBA shirts can be some of the hardest shirts to photo match. At least with football gamers there can be hit marks, repairs, grass stains and other identifying markers that make photo matching a much easier process.

Each jersey has its own unique mesh pattern thus making mesh based photo matches extremely reliable. For NBA shirts it seems that the best photo matches have been based on matching up these mesh patterns. I recollect an awesome GUU post of a Michael Jordon Bulls jersey that used the mesh pattern around the numbers and letters for its photomatch.

I try to use the mesh pattern to photo match my 49er gamers as often as possible. In fact I utilized the mesh pattern of my 1988 Montana gamer for its photomatch.

Mick-keep up the good work and how about those 49ers!!!!

Always buying 49er game worn jerseys and paying a finders fee.

Miguel Cabrera Bat used in Game 4 2012 World Series. Matched to his 2-Run Homer. This is a pick-up I got this month. I found some photos online and with the help of John Robinson got the great photomatch.

I am still looking for an MLB.TV screenshot of him using the bat.

[astizzle]

Hey guys,

this is my first post here as I'm relatively new to the hobby.
I live in Germany and I've been a huge basketball fan (NBA) for many years.
Nevertheless I'm interested in US sports in general and I love game used memorabilia.
So as I came across this jersey I couldn't resist despite I don't know anything about baseball. It's more or less the style that attracted me in addition to the fact that the Dodgers are a LA team (I have Lakers/Clippers game-worn jerseys, too).

So this is a Alex Castellanos Dodgers game-worn home jersey from 10/3/2012, where he hit his 1st major league home run in a win against the Giants.
After quite some search I finally could match it to at least one loose thread. Thanks to the photographer and hopefully there are no copyright issues.
By the way it's also MLB authenticated as "game-worn" on the exact date.
Hope you enjoy it.



Greetings, Alex

2012 David Ortiz batting helmet.

[onlyalbert]

That is one cool helmet and great match! Too bad the authenticator was so careless with his sticker placement. Should always be on the back by the numbers!

Thanks! The sticker is a little 'front and center' for sure. The helmet is listed under the MLB database as "issued" too. Must not have seen it come off Ortiz' head??

2012 David Ortiz batting helmet.

Hey Cole,

Congrat's on the Ortiz helmet! Very nice photo match and nice game use!

Have you checked to see if Ortiz wore that helmet when he hit his 400th home run on July 4th?

Thanks,
Bobby

[cruwet]

Thanks Bobby- funny you say that because I contacted the Red Sox about any available Ortiz helmets & they said they had one "issued" helmet. So I went down today and saw this one and noticed that it was the exact same helmet that was auctioned off after the season. The 3 dots on the front are a dead giveway. They also had this helmet for sale during the season for a ridiculous price. I saw it everytime I went into the Team Store before games. They said the winner of the auction didn't like where the sticker was and they gave him the one other helmet they had. The one with the dots is the earlier season helmet based on photos and videos (clearly matchable). so whoever decided to switch helmets may have got what i'm assuming is the 400 HR helmet. Dammit! I knew they had sold the helmet that I now have a few months ago in the auction, so I was a little surprised to see that was the one they had available. Who knows what really happened. Not the 400 HR helmet, but I couldn't pass up such a slam dunk of a match with this one.

This is my first photomatch, but a nice one: a 2011 Derek Jeter bat used in his run-up to 3000 hits.

Jeter used the bat in 9 games from 5/2/11 through 5/12/11, and got 13 hits (#2951 through #2963). After breaking his prior bat on a single off Justin Verlander on 5/2, he started using this bat his next time up against Verlander for another single. He continued to use the bat until he cracked it on a 7th inning single (#2963) on 5/12. He passed Sam Crawford for 29th place on the all-time hit list using the bat.

Jeter went on a little hot streak with the bat. At the start he was only hitting around .240 with no homers, 6 RBI's, and only 3 XBH's. He hit .317 with 5 RBI's using it, raising his average to .270.

Best of all, he hit 2 home runs with this bat on Mothers Day, 5/8/11, in Texas (#235 and #236 of his career). It was the 10th, and most recent, time in his career that Jeter has homered twice in one game. (The last photo is from the AB of the 1st of the 2 homers.)

Tony, I enjoy your A-Rod posts; that 2009 bat & photo he sent you are amazing!

Randy, it was your (& Ben/gorilla777's) recent Jeter bat photomatching posts that got me moving on doing the same for mine.

Regards,
Bob

[cruwet]

Cole,

Maybe Ortiz kept the 400th HR helmet.....you still picked up a nice piece! Congrat's again on your pick-up!

Best Regards,
Bobby


Thanks again Bobby! I won't clog this up with more pics, but I've been able to difinitively photo match the Ortiz helmet to games going back at least as far as August of 2011. Really cool that Ortiz kept the same helmet over 2 seasons. Looks like this helmet could be the successor to your killer 2011 Ortiz lid!

I know i have posted this on the College post but felt like it belnged here also.I finally found the jersey that Photomatched my 1981 Herschel Walker jersey from the 81 game vs USC. Notice the tear on the front above the #3. The #4 on the left sleeve I was able to match the holes perfectly. Notice the holes that aren't punched outon the 4. So glad to have a smoking gun picture.

Hanley Ramirez's game used bat during his first road trip to Marlins park in Dodger uniform. He only used one bat in the 3-game series, hit 6-13 with 5 RBI.

Keeping with the Hanley theme. Here is a photomatch for my Hanley 2012 helmet (only one he used during the 2012 season with Marlins) from his last and final at-bat as a member of the Miami Marlins. (July 24th, 2012)

Here we have my #40 Dallas Cowboys Throwback game used 11-46 jersey, worn by Cowboys safety and former LSU Tiger, Danny McCray.

McCray wore this jersey for the 20-19 Thanksgiving game win, against Miami, at Cowboys Stadium, on the 24th of November 2011.

The jersey shows some excellent use and I have photomatched it using both game wear and unique stitching patterns on the seams.

The jersey is available for sale and I will post details in the Classifieds section.

I apologize in advance, this is going to be a long one... I feel I need to set the stage... June 2012, the All Star Game in Kansas City is just 3 weeks away and all the Royals are trailing miserably in the All Star vote. Billy Butler is on a tear hitting .300 and leading the team with 11 home runs and 37 RBI. The city is clamoring for Billy to be the All Star Game representative. Eric Hosmer looks pretty lost and is struggling with a .220 batting average.

The Royals go to their cross state rivals for a weekend interleague series against the Cardinals, who have been bitter rivals since the 1985 World Series. Ned Yost does the normal thing for a team struggling to score runs... he benches his best hitter for all three games of the series and keeps the struggling Hosmer at first base. Hosmer goes 3 for 16 (.1875) dropping his average even further. In the first two games Billy gets just one at bat and Royals fans with an eye on the ASG are growing angry.

Sunday afternoon, Father's Day... Cardinals take a 3-2 lead into the 9th inning and bring in closer Jason Motte. Motte easily strikes out Moustakas and Alcides Escobar to start off the inning. Down to their last out, Yost finally calls on Billy Butler to pinch hit for hapless backup catcher Humberto Quintero. Motte throws two fastballs right past Butler to take the count 0-2. Stadium erupts. Fans on their feet. From my Dad's living room, I say, "Come on Motte, throw that fastball one more time."

Then this happens. Easily one of the favorite Billy Butler moments to date for any Royals fan...

University of Michigan 2013 Outback Bowl game used helmet. It was worn by offensive guard Ricky Barnum.

This is one of the matte blue alternate helmets. It is really cool in real life, the matte is great and the maize has sparkles in it.

Hey scottishcowboy so thats what those little chest plate things are for? To put strings through them to stretch the jersey so its not tight around the neck? I've always wondered what they were there for.

It just keeps the jersey in place better, should another player grab the jersey when tackling, or for a hold. With the new Nike jerseys from 2012 this feature is now history.

[VISUALCONCEPTSNJ]

This Jersey Was Game Used By Eli Manning On Sept 25, 2005 Vs. The San Diego Chargers...

All Pics That I Can Find Are Mostly From Early In The Game And Not Much To Go Off Of On The Jersey. Anyone With Access To Older Game Footage Or Pics Would Be Extremely Helpful And Appreciated.

Thanks So Much.

Micky aww man discount rate I hope lol. Howard = Soon to be Houston Rocket haha. Beautiful piece. You know me I'm a huge rev30 guy like yourself. Very easy photo matching.

[sportsnbikes]

My first ever photo match! Lucky for me. I was actually at this game in the crown seats when Salvador Perez hit his first walk off home run in the bottom of the 9th. I had no clue when I bought the bat that it would be the SAME BAT!! Thanks to DODGER and Wes for helping me out on identifying this bat!

[sportsnbikes]

I meant to say FIRST CAREER WALK OFF HOME RUN!!!!!! And so far, his only one!

Such an awesome piece.. congrats man. Glad I could help! :D

[sportsnbikes]

Hey Dodger. 2 questions.

Did you see me and my girl in the 3rd row to left of home plate. It's a blonde gal long hair and I'm wearing a powder blue all star shirt.

Did you happen to catch the part of the bat that he hit the HR off of?

Here's a pic as soon as he hit the HR, looks like its on the opposite side of the Marucci logo, & I believe that's you guys also in the same pic haha http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q523/HanleyRamirezCollector32/Capture2_zps6d531d7a.jpg

@Dodger

LOL. Yep that's her below the 9th and me under the 1-1. Great pic...Can't wait to show her!

[sportsnbikes]

2nd Perez photo match of the week. Thank you to everyone who helped especially Dodger and Rich A. We concluded that some of the tar was removed from the bat and too many matches for it not to be the same bat.

The kicker is the MLB man logo on the front of the bat above the M. There were at least 2 hits on this bat along with 1 RBI.

[sportsnbikes]

Just noticed this one of the tape above the knob.

[spartakid]

Definitely agree on that last match, never seen a bat before that had that much tar removed though, weird.:confused:

[hookemhorns26]

Here is my 2nd favorite photo matched item.....again minor league but cool.

Sandman02910 can you email me about the lester and pap gloves
Hookemhorns26@yahoo.com thanks

Definitely agree on that last match, never seen a bat before that had that much tar removed though, weird.:confused:

I sent an e-mail to Player Direct to see if they knew why Sal would've removed tar. So far no response but I just sent it an hour or so ago.

All in all, I'm just glad there is a match.

I had posted this Bears Jersey in another thread, asking for photo-match help. I can't thank Forum Member Jason Williams enough for providing me 2 great photos that provided a bunch of matches.

The Great part is that Jason was able to get it done within just a couple of hours and even more incredible is the fact that he refused a $500 reward for the match!!

It proves that there are still some classy and great people in this hobby!!

The Jersey was worn September 28th, 1986 but not sure if the black and white is from that date? I am betting that it was worn many more times by the amount of wear. Let me know if anyone runs across any additional images from the 86 game as I have some great team repairs that I would love to match on the back.

Very Nice Photomatch!! I totally understand the feeling. It is one of the most enjoyable times when you match your most prized piece. That is the same way I was luckily able to match my Herschel Walker jersey. The holes don't lie!! Congats!!

[UGA-1]

Absolutlely stunning photo match on your Payton! I just stood up and gave you a standing ovation. To me, a match of the hole pattern on a jersey is just as good as it gets. Can't imagine someone being able to duplicate that on a jersey. I call those "finger print" matches since no 2 jerseys should be the same, IMO.

[metsbats]

Picked up this 2004 Tom Glavine game used road grey. This jersey has heavy use and wear and may even be unwashed. I think this is a photo match.

[esigs]

Here's my first attempt to photo-match a jersey. It is the Toronto Blue Jays road jersey Yan Gomes wore in 2012. In total, Yan played in 43 games with the Blue Jays in 2012, and they wore the road gray jersey in only 12 of those 43 games. In addition, in 5 of the 12 games, Yan came in as a substitute, and therefore, the jersey shows light use, and even though there are some loose threads, I couldn't find any pictures of him wearing this jersey late in the season.

The MLB Authentication states it was worn on 09/24/12 when the Blue Jays played a doubleheader against the Orioles. They wore the road jersey on game 1, which Yan didn't play but was on the bench, and the blue alternate on game 2, which Yan played.

The pictures showing Yan wearing the jersey are from the 08/04/12 game vs. the Oakland A's, and they appear to be from the warm up prior to the game. Yan started this game and played through the 9th inning.

Picture 1 - Front and Back

Picture 2 - Front close up
There is a velcro between the 2nd and 3rd buttons, and it happens to be where the 2nd "O" in Toronto is. Both the game picture and my jersey picture (darker gray) show the stitching of the velcro partially visible inside the "O" in the same location (like a clock showing 3:30). For comparison, I have Ricky Romero's jersey next to mine and on his the stitching is not in the same location (the horizontal stitching is lower inside the "O").

Picture 3 - Back Letter "G"
On the second picture, the letter "G" on his name shows a different light pattern on two spots at the base of the letter. My jersey's "G" also shows that same light pattern (hard to see as I took my pictures indoors).

Picture 4 - Back MLB Logo
On the third picture, below the MLB logo there is a bump where there is a seam on the inside of the back collar. The bump is not centered with the logo, as it is more to the right than left of it (when looking from the back).

I would be very interested in your opinion whether there is sufficient support for a match.

I have a pair of Michael Youngs autographed cleats from his days with the rangers I only had the picture of the one currently on my phone but was able to photo match them.

[cohibasmoker]

Attached are scans from by Bill Dudley Lions gamer. The card is a 1948 "exhibit" card. When you compare the jersey to the card, we can see a fabric run for the entire length of the open portion of the #3 as well as damage to the bottom of the top of the #3 and the top of the bottom potion of the #3.

It was apparent that the jersey was worn after the photo-shoot because there is additional damage to the #3 that isn't shown in the card.

Found the Teufel photo on Ebay last week too. The Carter photo was from the NY Daily News. The Dykstra stills from the NL East clincher game is from the DVD I brought from Classicballgame.

That was the game in which Hanley was trying to make a play on a pop-up and ended up kicking the baseball down the left field line and preceded to jog after it as two D'backs scored. The screenshot is from when he was removed from the game following the incident.

Thank you sir! I use Microsoft paint and just use a different color circle for each thing I want to highlight, and my process takes way too long to get the photos that way but I basically open a huge paint file and send each picture separately then move them all to one picture and then do the circles if need be.

Photo matched 2013 Phillies Alternate Roy Halladay--worn vs the Marlins in May which resulted in his trip to the DL.

-Scott



Too bad about Halladay's retirement. He was one hell of a pitcher. I hope his entry into Cooperstown is a quick one.

Used April 10, 2010 - Reyes' first game and hit of the season.

Can be identified by the pinstripes running through the Mets and Majestic logo on the left sleeve and the pinstripe on the "Y" in Reyes.

This is from an 8x10 is of Marte, while playing for the Greenville Braves. I am not sure if it is a match, but I hope it matches your glove!

Photos of the 2 Archie Griffin worn jerseys from my Columbus, Ohio Craigslist find from 8 months ago. Both jerseys came from a guy whose dad worked in the athletic department at Ohio State in the 1970's. One was worn on the cover of the Sports Forum magazine and also for the 1975 Playboy All America team photo in Playboy's Sept. 1975 Issue and the other his 1975 Rose Bowl jersey worn against USC. Plenty of cardinal and gold hit marks and blood staining on it. Both jerseys were tucked away for nearly 38 years.

[Juan Gris]

Those Archie jerseys are insanely awesome. Congrats on the pick-ups!

Craigslist! Are you kidding? Congrats, amazing pick ups from one of the all-time college greats.

[bgakladd]

Thanks for the replies. The amazing thing was that they were listed on there for 5 days and nobody bought them. Well worth the 2 hour drive to Columbus that Friday to pick them up.

[nycpropain]

Great arch Jerseys! Question what are we looking at to ID the photomatch? I can't seem to find any matches upon several looks. Not saying they are not there, its just easier when pointed out lol Thank you for sharing

Double Photo Match!

I was photo-matching this Alex Gordon bat to a game 9/29/2012 and noticed he was wearing my heavily photo-matched helmet. I'm calling that a double match, though its not that impressive since nearly every 2012 bat will pair up with this helmet.

+1. Paint pen?

Yeah it's a paint pen. That's something that Justin at Royals Authentics started them on using. I asked him once but I can't recall the brand. May have been Decocolor. I needed to ask him anyways, so I'll let you guys know after I find out the brand. Looks awesome on black bats, on natural or unfinished I think it's a bit light.

Eric Hosmer career home run #49 on 9/8/2013... This bat also has one of the most complete "Rawlings" transfers that I've ever seen. :D :D :D

Where did you grab this one at? It's legit. I've been looking for a good Hosmer but haven't found one yet.

[EricTheRed44]

Picked up Todd Frazier's game used 2012 glove. Its easy to match with the Laces near the Wilson logo. He used it a ton throughout the season and its hard not to find photos to match it to. Matched to 5 baseball cards also.

I haven't been able to look too much for specific dates, but he used it in game 4 of the playoffs, when they clinched the division against the Dodgers I believe, and my favorite, he recorded two outs during Homer Baileys no hitter on September 28th 2012 with it. The still is from a nice catch made near the stands to end the bottom of the third.

1982 David Overstreet - Montreal Concordes CFL Helmet - Photomatched to a Concordes Magazine Cover.

Overstreet a former Oklahoma Sooner Running Back under Barry Switzer was drafted in the 1st Round - 13th Overall pick in the 1981 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. A contract dispute sent him to the CFL, prior to returning to Miami in 1983.

Sadly, David's career and life was cut short in June of 1984. Passing away due to a car accident at the age of 25.

I'm seeing a lot of style matches but not many true photo matches being posted. In my opinion, showing a side by side photo of a team logo on a pinstripe jersey is not any sort of match other than a style match. Let's see some unique dirt stains, holes, loose threads...something.

The link to your collection doesn't work for some reason. Also, every pinstripe jersey is different so yes that's a great Pedro photomatch. If you can match patches, buttons, numbers, and seam lines (shoulders/armpits) then that's a photomatch when you put them all together. One patch is different but when every pinstripe lines up that's a match.

[Juan Gris]

I photo matched my newly acquired Adam Dunn bat to his 2002 Donruss Studio card #200. I'm trying to track down when the picture was taken but my best guess would be during batting practice in a cold climate due to the BP style hat and the long-sleeved jacket (I'm really in the dark on determining when the picture was taken and would appreciate any insight). The bat was made between 2001-2002 and the 2002 Donruss Studio product came out on June 15, 2002.

Factors contributing to the photo match include:
-the taped bat knob
-the "lle" on the end of "Louisville" has a streak running through it where the wood was not burned
-the "d" at the end of "Powerized" is darkly burned
-the wood grain on the barrel between the LVS logo and the nameplate

I photo matched my newly acquired Adam Dunn bat to his 2002 Donruss Studio card #200. I'm trying to track down when the picture was taken but my best guess would be during batting practice in a cold climate due to the BP style hat and the long-sleeved jacket (I'm really in the dark on determining when the picture was taken and would appreciate any insight). The bat was made between 2001-2002 and the 2002 Donruss Studio product came out on June 15, 2002.

Factors contributing to the photo match include:
-the taped bat knob
-the "lle" on the end of "Louisville" has a streak running through it where the wood was not burned
-the "d" at the end of "Powerized" is darkly burned
-the wood grain on the barrel between the LVS logo and the nameplate
-black mark on the right-center barrel (this mark is to the right of a matching oval-shaped grain pattern)
-nameplates are identical

Great photo match! Nice!

Sorry.. new to posting pictures on this site.. Didn't mean to make three posts.

Matches on the button placement as well as the third button having some fluff sticking out of it underneath, clearly seen on the jersey as well.

Photomatched three of my Sami Salo jerseys today but the biggest surprise was finally finding a match for my rookie sweater. It's a 998/99 away Senators jersey that very well may be his first ever NHL sweater.

I believe I've photo matched my black Adam Dunn LVS I13 bat that I picked up this past weekend at the National Sports Collectors Convention. The card in question is a 2003 Upper Deck MVP Sports Nut #SN16 and the photo on the card is from a 2002 game. I tried my best to recreate the lighting and bat angle in the photo but, it being a black bat, this was the best I could do. The positioning of the 2 ball transfer marks are identical as well as the pine tar application above the LVS logo. Let me know what you guys think!

Yes, it is my 2nd photo match to a card in 2 weeks! I believe the photos in these 4 additional 2003 Upper Deck cards all feature my bat even though I cannot make photo matches. He is wearing the same uniform/gloves/elbow sleeves and the photos were probably all shot by the same photographer in the same at-bat. When you blow up the model number area of the bat in the upper left photo it appears to have the same spacing as my I13.

1979/80 Road Magic Lakers ROOKIE NBA FINALS worn thruout 1980 NBA Finals and in historic game 6 (5/16/1980) where he played all 5 positions.
42pts 15rebs 14-14FT. ONLY rookie to win Finals MVP. Most historic and memorable NBA Finals game period!

I want to give a special thanks and appreciation to Nate A. (ABL228) for helping me thru-out the year to attain not 1 but 2 photomatched Magic. Trust me without this dude I'd still be chasing and wasting money on stuff the cretins of this industry put out there. Nate pumped blood and strength into getting this great acquisition done. You are a true brother.
