December pick ups

[murfsteve25]

Where I live, I've got about 2.5 hours left until December 1st. So I'm gunna go ahead and post my pick up for the new month.

Big shout out to Roger (Sportsnu@aol.com ) for responding to my "items wanted" thread and offering me a very nice addition to my David Justice collection. My first hat, which is from DJ's Indians days. Under the brim, the number 23 is written and you can see the Cleveland Indians stamp as well. Minor use but still a beauty. Roger was excellent in this transaction and hopefully I can do business with him again in the future.

Mickey Mantle UDA signed photo, limited to 300. I've been looking for this Mantle photo for a while now and was lucky to find this one in gem mint condition, it was never displayed and still wrapped in the original plastic from Upper Deck.

Mickey Mantle is pictured boning his bat. Boning was a common practice, by rubbing the bat on a beef bone to compress the grain, and make the bat harder.

Thanks, Bobby

Re: December pick ups

In June of 1995 (Father's Day to be exact), Cal Ripken Jr. during an AB @ Tiger Stadium lost control of this bat as it flung into the crowd. It was retrieved by a fan (fortunately no one was hurt) and an usher came up to him to get the bat to give back, however he was waved off since Cal decided that the fan could keep it. I acquired this bat from the son of the fan who got it (who was there at the time as well) and will have Cal sign it in a week or so and will find out if he remembers the incident:

Here is the Terry Glenn Super Bowl helmet. I loaded a Getty's image as well where you can see the spot on the helmet where the logo does not completely cover the hole, the double clips above the ear hole and the bit of jaw pad hanging below the helmet. I know not 100% photo match, but helps the cause. I also get a Sam Madison Dolphins helmet from the same source as the Glenn helmet and a Miguel Cabrera X-bat.

I was hoping someone got this bat who would appreciate it. I was the first viewer of the auction when it went live and had i had the money for it i would have jumped all over the BIN. Very nice bat indeed!
