Ever have any of your items on a card?

[LastingsMilledge85]

I was browsing Ebay and cam across a Lastings Milledge jersey card and the picture of Lastings shows him wearing a jersey that I have photomatched. Was wondering if anyone else has a similar experience. Here's the card.

I have many Laettner pieces in my collection. With a magnifying glass I was able to match loose threads on at least two seperate places on the warmup on this card. I have a style match on the shoes, but haven't been able to photomatch them.

The best part, is this is one of the cards that made me start to follow Laettner. Then many years later, I was able to get the warmup (I didn't realize it was the same one at the time, though).

Its in a previous thread here somewhere, but gameused has the sickest Pujols old hickory matched to card...

I've been trying to give him one of my kids for it... but he won't budge

Being that the jersey I have I believe it's the only one around, with that being said I have a bobble head of Lastings Milledge that was a give-away and he is wearing the jersey that I have.

Bert - here is the thread - AND the most awesome and probably most scarce specimen of a Pujols bat in the land. Great bat BOBBY!

This card, limited to only 50 made, is one of Garko's most sought after Rookie Cards:


It features him in the 05 MLB Futures Game for Team USA, shown here:


Which both feature this jersey, the only one of its kind:

Very nice there is a very similar Milledge card like that, he also was on the 2005 XM Futures All-Star team as well. Where and/or how did you get that jersey?

I have a 1987 Bruce Hurst home Red Sox jersey framed with two cards and an 8x10 photo of him wearing the jersey.

The cool thing to me is that the 8x10 is autographed "Bruce Hurst - 1st MVP of the 1986 World Series". I love that photo.

I have Desmond Clarks rookie practice jersey from the Broncos, which is on his Skybox rookie card.

I actually own the bat Garko used in that game as well. Its signed and the COA and photo denotes it. I was showing it off and someone told me that they had seen the jersey he wore from the game. I got some contact info and made a few calls. I got it for next to nothing on 2 conditions:

1-If I choose to sell it, I have to give the original owner a crack at it
2-1-If sell it to someone else 25% goes to Cleveland Indians Charities

Other than that, it basically fell into my lap!

I would love to get the one Milledge used, but I doubt it's even available.

The patch above the "A" in USA looks like its farther away from the american flag than the picture on the card. Could just be the angle but they look like different jerseys.

Re: Ever have any of your items on a card?

Might be the angle, but the source I got the jersey from was within the Indians organization, so thats enough for me to believe its the correct jersey. Maybe the jersey on the card is not the jersey he wore in the game. Mine is definitely the one worn in the game, but I figured he was wearing his gamer in the picture for the card, though I cant verify it for sure.

I have a '78 Gorman Thomas jersey that I believe he is wearing on the '79 Topps card.

I have 2 posters and about 7 cards from 2001 that show Rick using this glove in 2000. The placement of his name stitching and laces are all consistent.
