I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and start off the January pick-ups thread.

Just got these Red Sox bats in on Saturday.

Dustin Pedroia 2011 blonde Marucci bat (photo matched)

Adrian Gonzalez 2011 Trinity bat photo matched to his 27th HR home run, which was Adrian's last HR for the 2011 season.

Thanks, Bobby

[Jstef15]

I posted this in the Dec. pick up thread but no one really looked at it, I don't think so I decided to post it again.

The UF football is a game ball from the UK vs. Florida game this year.

The bat isn't a gu bat but its a personalized Florida Gators bat with my name on it so I thought some people might enjoy it as much as I do. Happy New Years to all.

[Lucas70374]

I picked up

2006 game used New Orleans Saints ball signed by Brees and Bush

2011 game used Mario Manningham 9/11/11 vs Redskins signed gloves

Another pickup this past weekend for my mantown. I picked it up at a guy who does demo work on old houses it is an old row of bleachers from a house he worked on last year. He has no idea where they came from but I have had my eye on them for a while and finally pulled the trigger- not really game used but it will go well in my baseball themed room.

Arian Foster gamer from the 2011 season that is also signed and inscribed with the date that it was used. Adrian had over 100 yards receiving in the game. He is one of my favorite players so I am very excited about this one.

http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz192/Klattsy/Aussie%20Game%20Used/IMAG0177.jpg

I have a question...there is an auto on the helmet but is smudged:

http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz192/Klattsy/Aussie%20Game%20Used/IMAG0180.jpg

Actually looks worse in person. I will be meeting Justin next weekend and have a chance to either resign it (which would involve stripping auto off) or just adding an inscription...would it be worth the risk trying to remove it, and having a shinny spot on the helmet from the chemical removal?

[eGameUsed]

My latest pick-up. Hoping it brings some HOF karma on Monday.

Jeff Bagwell 2000 Home Pinstripe Jersey, Photomatched to the First Game at Enron Field (now Minute Maid Park).

Cecil Cooper Adirondack - used in the 1975 World Series

Cooper hit .311 in '75 for Boston as a key part of that team, then went on to have a very nice career, predominantly with the Brewers. The bat has a bat boy letter of provenance with it as well. The '75 Series is one of the best, if not the best, World Series ever played.

Preston Wilson "team error" bat. Wilson never had any connection with the Diamondbacks that I can find a record of, and BMH confirms he never ordered any DBacks bats. Anyway, it appears that he got some good use out of it. I'm puzzled by the "3 of 3" notation on the knob.

I love weird stuff like this.

I was able to pick up this nice vintage Mike Lum Reds game used bat. The labeling dates the bat to 1973-75, but it has his Reds 21 on the knob. Which Mike did not play for the Reds to 76. I'm guessing this bat was a carry over from the Braves, and used with the Reds during the 76 season. I'm told the bat originates from the Reds gift shop, and it was later sold by Sports investment Inc. out of Cincinnati. Its a great hard to find Mike Lum bat from the prime of Big Red Machine.

The Apex style jerseys were just bizzare, but for some reason I can't explain, I love them. They are one of the highest quality jersey I've seen with triple layer sewn #s.

My latest pickup is the jersey Hakeem Nicks wore for the "Hail Mary" catch against the Packers last weekend. It was featured on the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated.

Wow! I am not a football guy, but great jersey!

[legaleagle92481]

nice pickup, so is Steiner now the one selling Giants game used after the team terminated its contract with JO Sports?

no, they just bought nicks jersey and cleats and manninghams jersey directly from hakeem an mario from the packers playoff game. they buy stuff directly from eli from time to time as well or at least they have in years past.

eBay seller bph32 (Ball Park Heroes) helped me out with this one, it's the TBTC cap from the Cubs vs. Dodgers game on May 4th, 2011. Game worn by Blake Dewitt. It's made by "Bobcat Athletic", but the construction is identical to California Custom Caps and Ebbets Field Flannels. I'm still trying to find the 1918-style caps that were made by New Era. Apparently they were sold at the convention. If anyone has one they can part with or knows someone, please let me know!

Just picked up this game used Lucas Duda bat from 2011. It is was used in the Mets game on 7/23/11 and is photomatched to his at bat in the 9th inning where he got his 50th career hit which happens to be his 1st HR of 2011 and his 5th HR of his career!

While this bat is uncracked, unfortunately, it has some deadwood on the barrel (which I do not like) so I may be looking to sell in the near future. But I may not as I like Duda and it has some significance to it. Enjoy!

Im thinking this is the only '01 sleeveless jersey Lee had that year. Shows Nice wear and and is photomatched to pics on getty and I believe an upperdeck baseball card. Judging by the pinstripes on the right side. Its matched before 9/11 and hoping to find a game after 9/11 with the American flag patch added. Im not sure though if such game exists with the Sox wearing this style of uni.

I probably over did it with the '08 Crede jerseys. He was my favorite player on the Southside during his time here. '08 was his last year with the Sox. After doing some research it looks as though Crede had one Cool base Road and one Cool base White pinstripe uni along with a set of knits. The Alt black is to hard to tell from the pics to see if he did wear an Alt Black cool base jersey. The pinstripe is photo matched all day, the Road Grey and Alt black I believe I have matched to due to Name and number puckering. The Alt black is even sweeter though because Crede hit a GS at the Home Opener April 7th and another GS April 13th. Both wearing an Alt black jersey. :) If I can get my camera to cooperate I want to post the ALt black and get the forums opinon regarding the two Grand Slams April 7th and 13th

Kenny Britt game worn 2011 Jersey - got this FROM Kenny today (had been talking to him over the past few months after doing some photo work for him...LOTS of photowork) - he said he believes this was worn in the Ravens and Broncos games this year, despite the 2010 year tag.

[Dewey2007]

Here go a couple for you college football jersey aficionados! I just received this 2011 Tyrone Duckett home jersey from the Washington State University Athletic Department. They generously donated it to our Alameda Sports Exhibit collection. The cool thing I like is it still has his nameplate on it and also has the new Pac-12 patch on it. The equipment manager said that they had to discuss the nameplate issue with the
Compliance Office before sending it. I think because it was a donation instead of it being sold they were ok with it being left on.

The other jersey is a 2010 Jonathan Brown Boise State Broncos home jersey. The BSU Athletic Department kindly donated this one to our collection last year but I finally got around to taking pics of it. They were able to leave the nameplate on this one too for the same reasons I believe which is nice.

Both guys are from my old high school too and these are their first college game jerseys worn during their redshirt freshman seasons.

Nelson Cruz 2009 Louisville Slugger 125th anniversary I13. It was acquired from the Texas Rangers charity foundation during the 2012 fan fest. The bat is MLB authenticated to the September 01, 2009 game against the Toronto Blue Jays where Cruz hit a broken bat single off Marc Rcepczyski in the bottom of the second. The bat is also photo matched to the August 30, 2009 game against the Minnesota Twins where Cruz hit a 425 ft home run off of Scott Baker during the top of the 7th inning. This was Cruz’s 28th home run of the 2009 season.

The Nelson Cruz G/U Rangers bat is Super SICK!!! Did you buy that from the Rangers?

Buster, I purchased it directly from the Texas Rangers through their charity organization called the Rangers Foundation. The Foundation had a booth set up during the 2012 Fan Fest in early January and was using proceeds from the sales to help kids in the area. It was a great purchase knowing the money would be used to help these kids. They also had one Hamilton bat but as usual it sold really quick before I could get to it.

[rdeversole]

Picked up a 2011 Joey Votto game used Red Alternate jersey. It's unwashed with dirt and was last used in the last Reds home game of the season. This one completes the set!

Also picked up another Josh Willingham game used bat. It's all the way to the left and bat #13 of his in my collection. Hopefully some good Willingham items come available tomorrow at A's fanfest.

While on a "Team-Issued" Jersey Rack, the Wash-Tag shows clear repeated washings.

Baek played in 8 games in his rookie season, 3 of them road games (one of them being his major league debut), which I'm hoping to photo match (if anyone knows how to help me with that I'd be much appreciative)

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6786755193_9b4ba58043.jpg

Also, if you look closely, a nameplate has clearly been removed. Kevin Jarvis also wore #32 that season before being released, so this could very well have been used by Jarvis, or issued for Jarvis before being reissued and used by Baek

Thanks, I try to help when I can and when I've got the time to do so.

I agree though, that Smoak is pretty awesome to see in person, the amount of wear on it is amazing.


BurlesonBlue,
I remember that jersey and I think Chris even debating buying it lol. I think it was probably worn by both considering neither spent much time with us that year but it was clearly worn. Finding photos that far back of Baek though will be tough, same for Jarvis.


Scott,
I got your message, I'll try to get back to you tonight.

Some Bats.-

[godwulf]

I rarely get around to posting my pick-ups, but this time I just have to. Not only will it likely be the last thing I buy in January (which is over in about 2 1/2 hours), but it's a Grail item for me - something I've been looking for for over 11 years.

Not something that takes page after page to show off...not even a Major League item, per se. Just something I've wanted for a long time. A little background:

Back in 2000, the independent Western Baseball League established a franchise here in Scottsdale, Arizona - the Valley Vipers. They played at Scottsdale Stadium, charged four bucks admission, and folded after a single season. Bob Welch (who would be the Diamondbacks' PC the following year) was the Manager, former Major Leaguer and local favorite Guy Sularz his bench coach. The only other names on the roster with which anyone would likely be familair were Steve Ontiveros and Lee Tinsley.

Once I learned the team had folded - under huge legal and financial clouds, it turned out - I started asking around about uniforms and equipment. I heard a lot of things, from various people - among them, that the team's assets, including gear, was being hidden from its creditors. Anyone I contacted who'd had any official connection with the team was very cagey, vague and uncommunicative.

I fantasized (as we frequently do) of stumbling across a huge cache of Vipers uniforms...or at least the one uniform I really coveted - the one wore by Bob Welch...#9.

So, last night, I'm just about to go to bed and I do one more eBay search of GU stuff, with a sub-search on "Arizona", and these pop up.

http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2df10b3127cceff6a1599be4300000030O02EbsmzVu0ZA9 vPhw/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/

Both jerseys came with a pair of matching pants, but the waist sizes didn't jibe with the jersey sizes (or with each other), and one had a name written in it that I know wasn't the name of the man who wore the jerseys.

http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2df10b3127cceff6a5035fe5500000030O02EbsmzVu0ZA9 vPhw/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/

I'm very happy. :D

ALWAYS good to find something you've really wanted, especially one of a kind items like those! Some of the best things in my collection aren't "superstar" game worn items or autographs. Amazing how those jerseys "resurfaced" after about 10 years, and after holding onto that slim hope they'd resurface, you got 'em! Nice job man!
