July pick-ups

[gameused]

Picked up this absolutely hammered Adrian Gonzalez Trinity bat recently and judging by the game use it must have been a favorite of his.

The bat was used almost the entire month of May and retired after suffering a slight upper handle crack, either Gonzalez or a club house person wrote "Early May 2011" on the knob.

I'm not done yet but so far I photo matched the bat to a HR on May 6, 2011, it was Adrian's 3rd home run of the season and his 2nd HR at Fenway park, also his first ever home run over the "Green Monster" wall in left field as a Red Sox player: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=14527387

Also photo matched the bat to a game on May 11, 2011 vs. Blue Jays in which he hit his 7th HR of the season and on May 16, 2011 he hit a walk off game winning double in the bottom of the 9th vs. Orioles.

Thanks, Bobby

Dirk Nowitzki '04-'05 Game Used Navy Jersey which according to the accompanying MeiGray paperwork was worn 20 times that season.

[nycsports]

Not game worn, but his shirt is "movie-worn." It was worn by John McEnroe in the movie, "You Don't Mess With The Zohan."

Ryan Braun Game Used Sam Bat
MLB Holo - 9/15/2009 (Brewers vs. Cubs)
In 2009, led the league in hits with 203; .320 average; 32 HRs; and All-Star Game Appearance

[flota89]

2011 Ryan Theriot
This bat is absolutely pounded with use. Blue ink marks, deep ball impressions, leather scuffs

[CampWest]

Finally was able to get it closed on the Al Cowens glove. I think its from his Mariners years around 83-84, but he also used the same style with the Royals back in 1977-80. Hoping to research some more once I have it in hand. Heck, he may have used it for several years... Hopefully I will know more in a week or two.

[Kabron1971]

First pick up this July. Straight from the Doug Friedman Collection. My 2000-2001 Photomatched Game Worn Kobe Bryant #8 Home Lakers Jersey. Size 50 +4....Exhibits heavy game use. Please note that the "Y" in Bryant in the back of the jersey is placed slightly below as compared to the other letters, thereby creating a misalignment among the letters. The "B" is tilted slightly to the left...... :D

So excited that I posted this on the June Pickups even though it was an hour or two from July. Finally got a Bruce jersey from the Reds and it was used from the beginning of the season until father's day. Shows great use and couldn't be happier. Hope you all don't mind me posting in both. Thanks to Dan for his support in this!

[alltimegiants]

Missed June Pick ups by 1 day! Starting July with nice pick up

2010 GU AUTO Brandon Crawford. The giants rookie hit a grandslam in his 1st mlb at bat. He's struggling with the bat now but he can still pick it at SS!

Tennessee Vols game worn football jersey - still not sure what era this is from though. I think mid-to-late 90s.

[MLB~NUT]

Nice Bruce Fathers Day Jersey...

Dirk Nowitzki '04-'05 Game Used Navy Jersey which according to the accompanying MeiGray paperwork was worn 20 times that season.

Does the paperwork indicate what dates he wore the jersey? Email me shanecstrickland@gmail.com

[csu398]

"Kempman" bat used by Andre Ethier during his 30 game hitting streak. The bat was broken on April 15 2011, and can be also photomatched to earlier series vs Rockies, Padres and Giants. Andre Ethier used this bat to hit 13 hits in 10 games (April 5~15) including his 99th career HR by this bat on April 9.

[hrvatwill]

Does the paperwork indicate what dates he wore the jersey? Email me shanecstrickland@gmail.com

Yes, for 20 games from 12/21/2004 to 4/20/2005. The paperwork also has the boxscore from each game.

[Texstros]

A few recent pick ups - (9) 2011 Chris Johnson bats. 2nd one from bottom is photomatched to his 6th HR of the yr!

Scott

Nice looking bat, but it's not from 1983, the stamping indicates 1992 (Carter's last year was spent back with the Expos).

[scottanservitz]

Emann,
Thanks for the reply. But I disagree with 1992. The labeling is same from '83 to '97. Carter played with the Expos through 1983. The bat records indicate the only 34 inch length C243 were indeed '83 and '92. But in '92 his orders were 30 oz. And black finish. Mine is 35 oz. And flame burned which is 1983. Thanks.

Scott

[CampWest]

To clarify Louisville didn't start adding team names on the barrel until 1991. So it cannot be from before 1991.

for reference, check:

From 1946-1986 below the signature was "LOUISVILLE SLUGGER"
From 1986-1989 below the signature was "LOUISVILLE SLUGGER (R)"
1990 there was nothing below the signature
From 1991-Present below the signature is the team name.

[scottanservitz]

You guys are right! I am kind of confused now.....

[scottanservitz]

Ok, emann nailed it. I remeasured and the bat is 34 5/16 inches and that there is an order of 34.5 in 32 oz. flame burned in Carter's shipping records. Thanks for the help guys.....

Scott

[camarokids]

An awesome 2009 Carlos Pena XBat Pink Bat, May 10, 2009 Rays vs. Red Sox..... I am surprised no one placed any bids against me...... Got it super cheap!!! These pics are from the ebay auction (not me holding the bat)....

[solarlottry]

Some new and old pickups that I recently took pics of.....

Amp Lee 93 gamer with team letter. He caught Montana's last TD as a 49er (Thanks Clay!!!!!)

Rod Woodson Raiders gamer with repair. Seems to photo-match to game vs. Browns on 10/12/03. Custom hem and sleeves.

Ted Ginn Rookie Dolphins gamer with NFL paperwork

Joe Nedney 2010 International Series gamer with NFL paperwork

Ahmad Brooks 2010 IS gamer-NFL paperwork

Moran Norris 2010 IS gamer-NFL paperwork. Nice use on all of the IS gamers.

Would consider trading the Woodson for a quality 49er gamer.

Always buying ANY 1994 49er gamer especially with team letter. Finders fee for the right shirt from mid 80s to present!

Just picked thi up last night after the game.

Game Used Canaday Jersey from Toronto Blue Jays 2B Prospect Jonathon Berti.

Shows awesome use, was used for July 1st and July 2nd and then got to go onto the field and have him give me the jersey directly (literally) off his back.

Here is to hoping Berti goes far... with the Jays!

[kylehess10]

I just got the biggest and best pickup I'll probably ever have in my entire life:

All of these jerseys are signed, MLB authenticated, and unwashed!

Chipper Jones game worn 2011 jersey. I already photomatched this jersey to every home game in 2011 leading up to July 1st (this past friday). He wore this jersey for his 2,500th hit on Opening Day, as well as his 1,500th RBI in May, and a few homeruns as well.

Jair Jurrjens game worn 2011 jersey, worn while pitching a complete game one-hitter on July 1st, 2011.

Freddie Freeman game worn 2011 jersey. I love the dirt stains on the front on this one.

Jason Heyward game worn 2011 jersey


I'm still working on photomatches for every jersey besides the Chipper. I already know I'll have plenty of matches for each one since I can use my own photos for photomatching ;)

Where did you get all the jerseys from kyle?

I won all of them in their charity auction this weekend. It was held Friday, Saturday, today, & tomorrow. They were collecting every jersey on July 1st to put in the auction.

[lakeerie92]

Awesome pick ups Kyle! I am very jealous especially of the Chipper jersey. I hate I had to move to San Diego because after that Heyward pick up last year I was going to keep an eye on this year's auction. I wish I had something good to offer for trade.

They did have some pretty good deals this year! I got a McCann game worn jersey too for $150!! They were also selling McCann game used bats for $100 each, and a Derek Lowe jersey for $100. Me and another forum member bought those. The jerseys from today's auction (the Heyward, Jurrjens, & Freeman) were still cheap but at the same time a lot of money. I ended up spending a few grand this weekend. Hopefully you can take a trip out here soon though!

[lakeerie92]

That is awesome for you guys. That sort of makes me sick, they have never had that much stuff at one of those before. I won't be able to make it back this season, so I will have to hope for some deals in the email lists. I am not a jersey guy although the Chipper is awesome, but a $100 McCann bat or two would have been nice. Great pick ups.

[justinbittner220]

Kyle, great pickups! As always, I love the heyward.

[kylehess10]

Kyle, great pickups! As always, I love the heyward.

New addition for the Johnny Bench collection:

Johnny Bench Rookie era bat from '67-'68, H&B model R161

Nice caked pine tar up the handle, with extremely heavy use over the entire barrel, many deep seam marks and ink transfers, along with a vintage late 60s variety Bench signature on the barrel. This completes the last era of his bats missing in the collection.

Ben

[Kabron1971]

Gorrilla77 you're on a roll buddy! great Johny Bench bats!!!:)

I apparently missed the Braves game that I needed to attend. Nice pickups Kyle!

I like the Chipper, JJ and Freeman.

To paraphrase Peter Griffin in regards to the Bench bat:

"This bat is freakin' sweet"!

They'll go under the bed in my Marion Barber game used equipment bag with my other 3 Barber gamers and the other 20 odd former Gophers jerseys I've picked up since my move to the beach last year. I've got zero room to display anything in my condo so will have to wait till I buy another house next year back in Minnesota, or Michigan, or wherever I wind up.

Minnesota Gophers early 90s Gophers helmet worn by star RB/FB Tony Carter. Tony went on to play HB for the Bears, Pats, Broncos, and Packers. The Gophers only used award decals for one season and this is the only known surviving example with award decals that I'm aware of. I've owned it for about 2 years after purchasing it from long time Gopher collector, U of M athletics volunteer, and friend Pete Chubb, but just had it shipped down to me from my partner's place in St. Paul.

Dan gets so many bad raps thrown his way by the haters. The other so-called leaders(neednt name names) in Laker game used stuff recieve all their inventory 3rd to 4th down the food chain,which all originated from Dan. And the stuff they get are just the scraps left over... ie/ game worn shoes of common players at best

[momen55]

Finally was able to get it closed on the Al Cowens glove. I think its from his Mariners years around 83-84, but he also used the same style with the Royals back in 1977-80.

Thanks for the look Jason. I missed out on both of the last 2 warehouse sales that NC State Football had!! The only thing is, I just don't like how they take the nameplates off the jerseys. I understand its school policy but that makes me not want to collect them. Every now and then you see one that still has the nameplate on the back.

I managed to pick up a gamer from my favorite hottie, Gabe Kapler, along with a retro helmet from my favorite current Brewer, Rickie Weeks. (And yes, that is my Weeks shrine. Poorly painted uniform back and all, LOL! It was my first attempt, okay? :D )

Still working on picking up a Weeks jersey to round out the collection, though. We shall see....

Just picked up this bad boy. It's one of only about half a dozen Florida basketball jerseys I've ever seen on the market (three of which are in my collection :) )

2006 (National campionship year) Jimmie Sutton Black Alternate

1979 Willie Stargell - H&B K44 model bat

The bat has the spiral handle tape favored by Stargell, number on knob, nice overall use and really great display, with rare vintage auto and is also specific to an order in '79.
The Pirates won the World Series that season, with Willie being named MVP of the NLCS, World Series, and co-MVP during the season, a special one for the "We are Family" Bucs team.

Ben, very cool Stargell bat! I would love to see pictures of your bat collection one day. Keep them coming! If you ever decide to move it please keep me in mind.

Kaleb Cowart 2011 game used spikes, Onyx COA.

[freddiefreeman5]

They did have some pretty good deals this year! I got a McCann game worn jersey too for $150!! They were also selling McCann game used bats for $100 each, and a Derek Lowe jersey for $100. Me and another forum member bought those. The jerseys from today's auction (the Heyward, Jurrjens, & Freeman) were still cheap but at the same time a lot of money. I ended up spending a few grand this weekend. Hopefully you can take a trip out here soon though!
Love them all but guess my favorite. :D

[AWA85]

Been fairly silent on the pick ups recently, but was able to cross off a huge want with this one. 2011 Brandon Phillips Reds alternate jersey. Worn on Fathers day and seems to have puckering, wash wear and what not from being worn earlier in the season. Just need the game smell to fade off...

The home #44 is Team USA authenticated as being game used during the 2009 Team USA season. Enjoy! Wong is going to be good! :)

I just received one of my coolest jerseys today. A 2010 Boise State Broncos blue home jersey worn by #32 Jonathan Brown. Brown is a kid from my hometown who attended my old high school and now plays safety for the Broncos. BSU Athletics was kind enough to donate this jersey to our upcoming Alameda Sports Exhibit. The jersey shows good wear with a few nice hit marks on it.

[stlbats]

Here is my latest pickup. A game used baseball from the Cardinals/Royals Joplin, MO series. Ball shows a ton of use.

The Nashville Predators had their annual equipment sale today, and, minus the staffers being able to buy things in front of us before the season ticket holders could even look at anything, I came away with the following:

Joel Ward pair of game worn gloves (pretty cool having something worn by the first African-American player in franchise history)

Jordin Tootoo game worn glove w/ a big hole in the palm

Practice-worn jersey

No jerseys w/ names on them were for sale this year...last year's was much better but I guess that's how the puck drops.

[Preston]

Also picked this up at a local thrift store - a Nashville Sounds signed, game-worn jersey - I'm ALMOST certain this was worn by former Pirate/Marlin/etc Jimmy Anderson - he wore #13 for the Sounds as well and this looks like his autograph, so I'm like 90% sure.

But if I'm wrong, please let me know!

[gorilla777]

Ken Griffey Jr. - '97-'98 LVS C271 model

This one has the sort of extreme use I had been looking for on a Seattle era LVS bat. There is nice pine tar on the handle, very heavy overall barrel use, with numerous seam impressions, ball marks, ink transfers and the most cleat marks I have seen on one of his bats.

From The Doug Friedman and Mick Wong Collection. Very rare 2001-2002 Kobe Bryant Game Worn Road Jersey with the 911 commemorative patch. Worn versus the Portland Trail Blazers in the playoffs that season. Size 52 +4. Tremendous game use and stench all over!!!! Enjoy! :D

With the Orioles, you can never be entirely sure of anything, but that nameplate doesn't look right to me. Looks like 4" letters when it should be 3"...

[ironmanfan]

letters are 3.25" in height.....for whatever reason, 1981 road tops i've seen have a slighly unique lettering for their NOB's

Found this on Craigslist this weekend - Cesar Crespo game used fielding glove (person I bought it from said they were a batboy for Brevard County when Cesar was there) - shows a lot of use. Figured $30 was fair considering I had to drive close to an hour to meet the guy halfway.

Anyone have any photos of Brevard county from the early 2000s by chance? :)

[Preston]

Would actually HELP if I posted a pic of the glove, right?

Picked up a couple more Victor Martinez uniforms including the Detroit Stars Negro League uniform (hat and jersey) as well as the TBTC uniform (hat, jersey and pants) worn this past weekend.

I also purchased a pretty cool item in the recent Lelands auction. Herb Score's Scorebook from the Indians 1996 season. It is a pretty cool item in which Score kept score for every game from the 1996 season. In addition to the general scoring it has all kinds of other interesting details like weather, rain delays, etc. The Indians lost in the first round that year but had a great regular season and several HOF players on the team.

Not sure if I have anything special here or not, but this looks like an old-school Buffalo Bills jersey (also looks just a LITTLE like an old-school SMU Mustangs jersey)

I'm hoping it's game used but I paid $3 for it so it's probably not - anyone have any insight?

Not really a Cubs fan as I have close to 100 White Sox jerseys but its still Chicago so I picked this 1977 Larry Bittner home jersey up over the weekend.

What I like about this vintage jersey is the fact that its now a retired number for Billy Williams.

Dave M. I don't see a manufactors tag on the jersey who would have been the supplier during this time period and where would the tag have been located?

Thanks

Wilson made all Cubs knits from 1972-86, and all would have the manufacturer label in the collar, above the long strip tag. A lot of those in that era were sent down to the minors, and the Wilson tags on a few of 'em apparently became disengaged due to all the launderings.

At $3, still a buy. The Champion tag would indicate mid-late 1980s issuance, so the jersey is at least 22-25 years old.

Definitely not quite as good as finding a Haynesworth gamer, but I was almost leaning toward it being a Bills v. a Giants jersey. I guess with NNOB Champion didn't have the rights to put the name, likeness, logo or etc. on there, huh?

[brewcrew]

Just got this in the mail today. Some of you might remember that a while back I was asking about the well being of Jim Themelis. Well, he's had some health issues but he is still live and kicking and was able to hook me up with this Peoria Chiefs game used jersey from the early 1990s. It was a recycled Jerome Walton Cubs jersey from the 1990 season. The ASG patch was removed and replaced with the Peoria Tricentennial patch. The patch needs to be glued (it's rubberized, I've never seen anything like it) but otherwise the jersey is in great GU condition.

I have fond memories of walking to Meinen Field with my mom to see Chiefs games during the summer when I was a kid....this jersey evokes positive thoughts of a hometown that is now miles and miles away. Thanks to Jim for this tremendous opportunity!

So you are the one that outbid me!!! I was the next highest bidder.

I too thought it was cool as Billy Williams is one of my all-time favorite Cubbies. I know it isn't Billy's, but it was cool. What I really liked about it was that it was from the year my wife was born!!!

If you ever want to part with it please let me know...I am a huge Cubbie fan and want something from that '77 season.

Maybe I will bring my Billy Butler glove up so you can use it while your up there :)

I have been thinking of doing the A's version of that for a couple of years, my only problem is that I am so out of shape I think I may be in traction after a week of baseball.

I hear ya. I'm in okay shape, but I am broken... I am going to push back a hip replacement surgery so that I can attend Fantasy Camp. After 5 days of games, I'll probably be unable to walk. Heck I barely made it out of Disneyland a couple months ago.

A nice pickup for me this month.
For the fourth year in a row, the Lakewood (NJ) Blueclaws became the Bruceclaws for Bruce Springsteen Appreciation Night. So the single A affiliate of the Phillies wear special Bruceclaws jerseys for this special game (which turned out to be a doubleheader. This year’s game was significant since it came just a few weeks after the sad passing of Clarence Clemons. So to recognize the Big Man the jersey included a black saxophone memorial patch.
And for the first time, I managed to bid on a jersey following the game and win this beautiful Bruceclaws jersey. Mine was worn by relief pitcher Colby Shreve, who not only got the save in the second game, but also posed with Clarence’s son Nick between games while wearing the jersey.

Hello all,

So despite losing my job in the next 50 days, I have managed to continue to expand my collection of Evan Longoria game issued bats. I have just added to my collection one of his block lettered models potentially from his first ever LVS order. Per BMH, Evan's agent ordered him 6 block lettered black Model I13 M9's. And because it wasn't Evan or the team ordering them, they put Louisville Slugger under the name plate vs. the Team name. I looked long and hard for this one! I now have at least 1 bat from his 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 seasons! If anyone can get me one from 2011 I would appreciate it! ;)

Won this tonight in a charity auction at the Nashville Sounds game - they wore alternative jerseys for the Ronald McDonald House - the "shirts off their back". This is an Eric Farris game worn jersey from tonight.

Even better, it's also a tax write-off!

Second scan is the "Ronald McDonald" patch on the left sleeve, the size tag and the badge I was given to go onto the field to "claim my jersey".

(I'm the only one who got the jersey signed on the number...everyone else got it on the "Sounds" part of the jersey on the front)

A guy I know works with the Rays and sometimes he calls me and asks if I'm interested in certain items, not sure what they do with the items if I pass on them.

Other than maybe a rookie bat, it's hard to top an H&B Bicentennial stick of Yount. GREAT bat! And, truly a Yount bat...not the "Von Joshua used by Yount" fallacy that has popped up a few times over the years. If any member is unaware of what I'm referring to, LMK...I'll open a new thread explaing the bogus nature of the Joshua/Yount bat and why it's bogus.

A nice pickup for me this month.
For the fourth year in a row, the Lakewood (NJ) Blueclaws became the Bruceclaws for Bruce Springsteen Appreciation Night. So the single A affiliate of the Phillies wear special Bruceclaws jerseys for this special game (which turned out to be a doubleheader.

G'day mate, do you attend the Blueclaws games frequently? I am hoping to grab an Alan Shoenburger jersey on Irish Heritage Night, LMK if you could help!

Thank you, Dave! It is truly a gem and one of my favorites.

Just a footnote. My brother and I bought some game used jerseys from Dave back in the early 90's I believe which started this obsession. Thanks, Dave!

Not sure what I have with this signed Rose home jersey? Looks much too old to be retail and there were never tags in the colar. Any thoughts? Has this same jersey come up in the hobby before?

Roy Halladay Game Used Cap. Used on Memorial Day, Phillies vs. Nationals 5-4 victory for Halladay (his 7th win of the season) and worn on July 4, 2011 (Phillies vs. Marlins; Halladay did not pitch). Hat shows the usual characteristics you would expect from a Halladay game used cap, number 34 on brim and inside of hat cut out.

I must agree.

It would be an interesting thread to see the personal logos that players have on batting gloves or cleats.

Last out baseball from a game between the Red Sox's and Yankees on July 3rd, 1934. Rube Walberg wrote the details of the game on the ball, comes with a letter from his Daughter. Myril Hoag made the final out of the game, just think that this ball could have faced Ruth and Gehrig back in the day. Gehrig also had a homerun during this game.

[yanks12025]

Acouple game used Jersey's. 2003 Pirates Mann, 2004 Mateo and a Oakland A's Rincon(set tag is from 2000 but he didnt play till 2002)

[gorilla777]

Ken Griffey - '73-'75 H&B S216 model signed bat

A tough to find rookie era/WS Champs early bat for the Reds '75-'76 team collection. It has a certificate from the Reds 580 Gift Shop, nice pine tar, red bat rack streaks, number on knob and very heavy overall use, especially on the barrel.
