Re: January Pickups

Dale - I'd forgotten about Bartee being the last Tiger hitter, thanks for the heads up. I was the under bidder in the Tiger's Foundation auction and the winner didn't pay. I was really pumped, as you know so many of these were recycled I thought I may never see one.

Les - Thanks, the patch looks fantastic in person.

Great jersey, I always thought the tigers did a great job back the too of bringing in PSA at the end of the season to authenticate many items from the stadium/season in 1999.

Re: January Pickups

Today I traded a 1958 El Tappe bat to his nephew for a 1961 Rawlings sporting goods dealer clock. He wanted the bat to go back to the family since they did not have one from his brief time in the major leagues.

Re: January Pickups

Filled one of the holes in my collection by picking up a Jay Bruce game used rookie bat from 2008. Big thanks to Josh for driving around the Cincinnati area to meet up with the Craigslist seller.

Bat looks green. What kind of light did you photograph it under?

Re: January Pickups

Frik.... you caught maybe the most inexperienced photographer! First of all the lady has her "quality" camera in her purse, so I used my digital camera that is about 6 years old.

Second, I tried using using the documents setting as that seemed to really work well for autograph baseballs and not picking up add flash light marks. Any tips, I know this is right up your ally. I am trying to cut down on a big bright flash spot on bats?

Thanks!

You might want to ask Kyle Hess. I could tell you how to photograph a bat with a digital SLR, but not with a point and shoot. For an SLR, you'd want to use a fast lens, bump up the ISO, and shoot without flash. But I really don't know about your camera.

I've taken pictures of baseballs with flash, but I make sure that the flash marks hit a part of the ball that doesn't have much interest. But good luck. I would recommend that you have your significant other take pictures of the bat for you, or at least borrow her camera.
