No Bob Skube, but still a nice haul! Can you share how you came across this couple who sold them to you?

As an aside, I met Don Money at a local card shop last month and he couldn't have been nicer.....

Congrats!

Re: My Greatest Day As A Milwaukee Brewers Collector

Thanks for the comments on the bats. I guess this couple did a search on Google for Brewers game used bats and came across my name and email address and the rest is history. I would like to say thanks to them once again for so many great bats.

I never thought I would be able to find a signature modle Simmons 80-83 bat or a Ned Yost 80-83 bat. I have been looking for over 20 some years for these two bats and then find them together. This just goes to show you, never give up a chance for that next great items is just around the next coner. When it takes a long time like this, it's all worht it in the end.

Jamie,

Congrats on finding two bats you were trying to find for 20 years in one shot. It usually happens that way as some other collector had a full set of team bats which becomes available. I was looking for Rick Anderson and Randy Niemann game used bats for over 15 years and a couple of years ago a private collection went on sale and I was able to get those two bats within a two week period.

It's always worth the wait.
