Gonna start with my most recent pick up. Probably the biggest impact player the South Siders have ever seen for a mid-season acquisition. With out this everyday 3rd baseman, In my opinion, The Sox are probably in 2nd place looking up at the Tigers. Jersey shows Nice use with pine tar on the shoulders and side. and other staining on front and back of this cool base jersey.

YOUUUUUUUK!!!

Thanks Fellas for the feedback. I picked up this Youk and Rios at the 4th annual charities auction the first week in Aug at the park. Wasnt sure what would be available come Soxfest, so I decided to pull the trigger on this one. :D

Solid looking equipment! Thrilled you added it to the thread. Would luv to see how you set up your Thomas frame when you get it. That would be a Grail of mine. A photomatched Thomas jersey. Any year will do.

Here is the other pick up I had at the Park. I would say a career year for Rios thus far. Rios and AJ IMO are probably the most consistent players we have this year. As far position players go. Nice pine tar on the right shoulder running into the patch as well. Im guessing some tobacco juice on the front too.

Desi
08-24-2012, 04:34 PM
Like I said, I don't collect jerseys, but is that a straight hem on the Youkilis? Never seen that before, or I never noticed. Though all jerseys had the shirt tail hem...

35th&Shields
08-24-2012, 05:13 PM
Nice catch! I noticed that right away too. The interior tag has + 3inches of body length. My guess is that is why it has the straight hem? Could somebody chime in on that and confirm? Thanks

I thought a Ventura jersey would be relevant for this thread at this time. First year manager for the SouthSide and a first place team majority of the AL Central thus far.Im Hoping to pick up a 2012 jersey at next years SoxFest to add to my collection. Little did he know that in '95 he would be managing the Sox in 2012 and winning a WS Championship the same season. :D

This jersey is photo matched to many cards and pics through out the '95 season. Robin wore both Wilson and Russel that season but in my opinion this was his most worn home pinstripe. With all the matches I have found and judging by the use of this gamer. Im thrilled to have this in my collection.

I like to use the under arm pinstripes to determine my concrete photo matches if applicable. Patches, numbers and last names are just as good. In my opinion its pretty hard to reverse photo match pinstripes in certain areas.

The Rios shirt has no set tags?...all the recent sox shirts i have seen all have year set and size located under majestic tag.. Dave???

35th&Shields
09-10-2012, 11:24 AM
Flaco1801, I agree with you as well. I would say all regular season jerseys have the strip tag under the majestic tag label. My guess is since this is a one time gamer it did not receive any additional tagging. A hologarm with MLB Authentication was placed on the majestic tag label for this Rios.

I have seen a few gamers from this past charity auction along with other game worn jerseys (TBTC, St Patty's Day etc..) with and with out the strip tag. The ones I've seen have had MLB Authentication though.

Hopefully other Sox fans can jump in and assist!

With a Big 4 game series underway Here is a player that both The Sox and Tigers can appreciate. As he only played for these two teams in his 15 year career. White Sox '97-'04. Tigers '05-'11. He is has since then announced his retirement this year. Another one of my favorite players when he was here on the South Side.

This '03 Alt shows awesome use. Many photo matches on cards and pics. From the shoulder pin stripes, under arms, stripes running through the name, numbers and logo, loose threads and even puckering. I've matched it all! Another solid gamer in my collection. I was thrilled when the last owner of this Ordonez jersey reached out to me and made this transaction possible. Thanks!

Joe Crede's last year with the White sox was in 2008. A long overdue All Star appearance was his only in '08. While that year had many exciting players on its roster from the emergence of ROY candidate Alexis Ramirez, Possible AL MVP in Carlos Quentin, Slugger Jim Thome, Orlando Cabrera and the mid season acquisition of Ken Griffey Jr to name a few. Great times to watch as a fan from everybody in the line up all season long. Unfortunately back issues limited him to 97 games that Year.

Here are my trifecta of gamers of his from that season.

Wishful thinking here has me matching this Black Alt jersey to multiple home runs in the '08 Season. Including the Home opener Grand slam, April 13th Grand Slam, 3 run homer April 15th.

- loose thread on the right sleeve cuff
- puckering inside the back 4

Here is one of my centerpieces of my modern day collection. Another big Thanks to the last owner of this Regular/Playoff season Konerko jersey. I luv the fact that this jersey has heavy use. Plenty of matches for this gamer, but my favorite come at the end off the season when the Sox had to win through out to make it into the playoffs. Forcing a one game playoff between the Twinkies @ Sox Game 163. This Home Cool base Konerko matches all those home games and Game 4 of the ALDS were he belted a Solo HR.

Nice score & photo matches as always on your 2008 PK.

Since we are the subject of PK thought I would show one of my personal modern day style favorites from one of the cornerstones to my Konerko collection this 2007 Set #1 Vest.

Someday I will put in the leg work and photo match it !

The 2012 season is complete for the Sox. The unfortunate Collapse has taken place for the SouthSiders this season, but collecting still goes on.

Sticking to the Sunday jerseys. Another Must have gamer in my Sox collection. 2001 Ray Durham 1917 100 year American League commemorative jersey.

2001 was Durham's last full season with the Sox. An exceptional lead off hitter for the White Sox. His last three years on the Soth Side, had him at least 15HR, 20 Steals, 100 Runs, 65RBI's and 450 Slugging %. He holds the White Sox Lead off HR at 20.

Style match at best for this Commemorative jersey. Placement of left sleeve American Flag Patch to Majestic logo.

Sad to see the season end the way it did...but I'm glad for the friends I made on the team. A couple more pickups from those friends on the team:

Jake Peavy game used cleats. I'm a big fan of Peavy's since his Padre days...one of the good guys in baseball. I always wanted a pair of his exclusive cleats in my collection, and he happily obliged my collection. The initials BP on the toungue of in honor of his grandfather, Blanche Peavy. Inside the tongue, are the initials JPWPJP, for his three sons, Jake, Wyatt and Judson. Then he has his number 44 embroidered on the back side of the shoes. These cleats have become a favorite in my collection!

Anybody win the 1972 throwback batting helmets that were on MLB.com Auctions? Both the Pierzynski and the Youkilis went for $900+. They were awesome but quite expensive.

35th&Shields
10-31-2012, 11:31 AM
Agreed! They definitely went for a nice penny. I had interest in the Beckham jersey. For those of you that are interested, here is some info I received from Sox charity auctions and self research.

- Some players wore both knit and cool base the 13 games. Two sets may be available. Looks like knit was worn April-June and CB June-til last home game Sunday Sept 30th.

-Sunday April 15th game was Jackie Robinson Day. Some players wore #42

-Jerseys worn the last home game Sept 30th are unwashed and authenticated that day under MLB database as game used. Not sure about the other set the player wore it its unwashed. Again some players had two sets.

-Some jerseys, if not all are tagged 1972 ## S1 or S2

If anybody else can add to that please do!

This 4 me personally was the real prize of the last Sox MLB Auction a 2012 A.J. Pierzynski 72 Throwback batting helmet.

Being as A.J. is 1 of my All-Time Favorite Sox's & this could very well have been his last year with them, not to mention it being a career year for him I had 2 add this piece to my A.J. Gear.

Congrats on that AJ helmet; I was wondering if a forum member won it. It is a pretty awesome piece, so I am glad that a true fan snagged it. Those '72 throwbacks go for quite a pretty penny. Enjoy it! :D

It looks like you were correct in your assumptions that Set #1 were the Knit Jersey's and Set #2 Were the Coolbase Jersey's 4 the 72 Throwbacks.

I remember I use to hate when it was his turn in the rotation to take the mound. I use to chalk it up as a loss lol.. Coop must of did something after the all star break, it seemed like all his arm angles were untouchable. If Im not mistaken he won almost 20 straight going into the '06 season. There were some no decisions in between though.

Any Collectors go 2 the Rosemont Convention Center Today?

2005 WS Champs Jose Contreras, Scott Podsednik, & Cliff Politte were in attendence.

Had Jose sign his 2005 Vest, 2008 Black Alternate and his 1929 Road Throwback Jersey worn in 2009.

Funny how it seems like no one remembers when Contreras was the best pitcher in baseball from the 2nd half of 05 through the 1st half of 06 and the horse of the pitching staff through the 05 Playoffs.

Mark Buehrle gets a lot of South Side love, and rightfully so, but he was never as good as Contreras was in that year time frame. He was basically unhittable. Great collection of jerseys. I have Contreras' home white jersey from 2006 with the World Series champions patch.

Any one have an opinion on this "game used" Thomas jersey?

Looks questionable to me on a few fronts:

I'm not an expert, but a few things stand out to me. The tagging looks right, and there was no nameplate for the pinstripes for that year. BUT, I thought he was a size 48.....I believe my game issue is a 48, but I don't remember since it's been at my framers getting box framed.

Hope someone else chimes as I'd like to know what they think themselves. Not because I want to bid on it, but I'd like to get more educated on such things!

Thanks Desi....Same here. Trying to get some education. I am looking for a nice Thomas GU jersey, but want to buy a very solid one. This one is not that, IMO. Maybe it is the photos, but the jersey just doesn't look like a 50 (or 48) it appears too short and too wide.

Also, the tagging seems inconsistent. The team tag looks brand new, but the Diamond Collection and material tags looks very well worn.

The ebay jersey is probably an 'extra'. The tagging should read 35-50-93-1. Also, Frank was closer to a 46 to 48 back in 1993 when he was a more agile player.

I'm not saying the jersey is bad, but it's very possible it's no good. Any enterprising forger can take an 'extra' jersey and create a fake. Ever wonder why most of the 'extra' jerseys are for Hall of Famers? Think about it......

What is with the Mark Buerhle Grey Road Jersey from BPH on ebay. Sems reasonable but has been on there for ever. Is it because of Marks liking to the Black Jerseys?

Just curious.

The Grey Rd jersey from BPH is solid. I had interest in the jersey as well when it posted some time ago. I still have no Buehrle in my collection. If Im not mistaken, after doing some research from that season on that jersey. I found no pic of any of Buehrle's starts wearing a grey knit. Now I'm not saying he didnt wear this jersey, but I cant justify dropping close to 1K for a modern day jersey I can not photo match. For a few hundred bucks more I could happily land a photo matched Konerko which will hold its value more than the Buehrle listed. Just my preference everybody!

Unfortunately for me, I have passed on a couple solid Thomas jerseys I still wish I would of pulled the trigger on. My guess is when his numbered is called for the HOF we'll see a few pop up from collectors trying to cash in. Definitely nothing wrong with that. What I feel comfortable with is nothing bigger than a sz 48 some where during or after the '95 season and a sz 46 with plus extra length before that. This is just based on my research and what I would feel comfortable with. Heres a pic of Thomas from the '05 season. I could not find the closer image I had found years ago, but I'm pretty sure its a 05 48 S?

I'm not saying its the same jersey as the one listed, but Getty Images does have a number of pictures of Buehrle wearing a grey road knit jersey in 2008. There are pictures from 6/1, 6/24,7/10, 7/28 and 8/2. He also wore a grey knit in game 2 of the ALDS.

Again, not saying it's the same jersey, just mentioning that he did wear grey knits a few times that year.

As an aside, I own the Set 1 autographed grey knit from the same year. Won it from a Sox charity event a few years back.

Hey Todd

Your absolutely right on Buehrle wearing a road grey knit during the '08 season. My fault, I apologize for delivering wrong info to those interested. I have found two games 6/1 and game two of the ALDS of Mark wearing a Road Grey Knit. Not sure why I remember him only in Cool Base. The other games you mentioned I see an under arm gusset which tells me it is a cool base. Here are pics below from the two games I have found.

From looking at the two pics I did notice the same snag/pull directly above the front number 6. not sure if its any thing or maybe just stress on the material from when he's throwing his pitch. Since you mentioned you owned the S1 thought I would try to help if you haven't already matched it.

Joe,

Of course you are exactly right. The other games I listed clearly show that he is wearing a cool base jersey.

I've attached a few pics from an additional start that Buehrle made that year in a knit (May 17th).

I'm a new user to the site, so I am having trouble posting pics of my jersey as the file sizes are too large and I have to figure out how to make them smaller.

Thanks again,

Todd

Now that I have posted a few times, let me introduce myself on this thread because this is where I will be spending most of time. I have been collecting used jerseys for about five years now. My collection is mostly White Sox but I do have a few other side collections.

I am a type collector so my goal is to attain a jersey from all the different styles that the White Sox have worn over the years. With all the TBTC games in the last few years, it has become quite the challenge!

If you are interested in seeing a White Sox jersey of a certain style, please let me know. I'd be more than happy to share tagging, lettering, manufacturing knowledge that I have gathered over the years. I am no expert but I will share what I know.

My oldest jersey is from 1946 and I have various jersey styles from that year forward.

As far as players go, I focus on Alexei Ramirez (have 7 different style jerseys) and Paul Konerko (4 different so far). I also collect NHL All-Star jerseys worn by Blackhawk players (4 of those also).

I have been waiting for a while for my membership to come through on this site, and now that it finally happened, I'm looking forward to learning and sharing about this great hobby.

You should be fairly successful with that goal until it's time to acquire pre WWII jerseys. Everything from 1946 up to today's stuff is fairly easy to find as long as you are a patient collector. You'll also find that unaltered jerseys from the 60's are few and far between.

I'm guessing that 46 jersey you have is a road? If it's a home I'd love to see it. The home jerseys from that era are impossible to find.

I spent about 18 years collecting styles and gave up the quest last year. I hope you are more successful than I was. Good luck!

Whats the deal I almost couldn't even find the thread with the last post being on January 26th I guess we all have been slacking along with the Team!

I went yesterday to the Cubby Bear North to have the Captain sign his 72 Throwback jersey that was worn during Sunday home games in 2012 & purchased thru MLB Auctions.

From the game photos Ive seen this knit jersey is a 1 of 1 and was worn in each of the Sunday home games.

Looks absolutely great. You've got a nice display piece of a longtime White Sox player. :)

That Konerko is Sweet! Veteran Player here on the South Side. I think what I like most about that one other than the style, is that it can be easily matched through the beginning months of the season where he was going ape shyt almost batting at .400. I believe he peaked at .399 Nice Pick up!!

Hats, yes. Batting gloves, no.

I picked up a couple choice game-used items from the Garage Sale -- a Vizquel helmet and a Dunn pink bat. Also picked up a few game-used balls from 2005. It's hard to believe they still had some balls from the World Series champion season, but they were there to be had in the big garbage can of balls.

Desi
05-20-2013, 09:51 AM
Game used caps can be found. Batting gloves on the other hand, I have never seen for sale in my years of going.

My understanding was, that the players purchased their own gloves and cleats (either paid themselves or provided through sponsorship deals) which they kept after the season. It would explain why you don't see batting gloves or cleats at the garage sale.

Anything purchased by the team like jerseys and bats were the team's property, therefore you would see them at the garage sale. Mind you, there are players who purchased their own bats, but I'm seen bats from most players over the recent years. Jermaine Dye claims to have purchased his own bats and was surprised they ended up at the garage sale....made a comment that someone from the Sox was stealing from him.

With that being said, I actually found 4 pairs of cleats at the garage sale...2 pairs of Youkilis cleats and 2 pairs of Flowers cleats. I have never seen cleats at the garage sale before, and I collect cleats. One of the guys behind the table was suprised to see cleats for sale as he confirmed what I had heard, that the usually keep their gloves and cleats at the end of the season. I got to work with Kevin Youkilis over the winter and he said he left a bunch of cleats and bats with the White Sox...found the cleats, but have not seen one of his White Sox bats yet!

Maybe we'll start seeing more at the next garage sales?

Ron, you Motivated me to start up posting again. Nice pick up on the JR Day Pierzynski.Shows Nice on field wear like you mentioned.

Great Pick ups Everybody!!

Here is one that I've been working on and been back and forth with. While I wish I could match up this gamer perfectly to Humbers Perfecto. Everything I come up with is sketchy but some can be promising. I came up with a list of about 20 questions to try and figure out if the jersey I have in hand is the jersey Beckham and Viciedo wore. Heres are some pics from the beginning of the season thru sept 16th. This jersey is freakin hammered. All its missing is some puck marks, board burns and a few team repairs. :)

Pic 1 Loose thread in "G"
Pic 2 Loose thread in lower part of Last name of "B"
Pic 3 Shows gusset of CB Jersey
Pic 4 same puckering, pilling and loose threads.
Pic 5 Jersey is hammered by then.

There are tons of pics that I've found that show Beckham in this same jersey. Just about every game pic I can almost match something to the jersey in hand. But What are the possibilities of Beckham wearing only one Grey Rd CB jersey all season? Regardless, this has been one of my most thrilling chases trying to match up this gamer to Humbers Perfecto. I know i may never prove my theory, my last resort is to ask Beckham and Viciedo themselves. Either way I would like to think of these gamers as POSSIBLY PERFECT!!

Here is Tanks CB Jersey. Shows good puckering all over, some piling mainly around waist area, and some loose threads here and there. He wore both Knit and CB for the 2012 season. Came up empty for Humbers Perfect game, but did wear CB. Found many style matches for the puckering all over and a few solid matches for the loose threads. What a major difference in terms of wear between Beckham and Tanks gamer.

Agreed! Gotta luv the jerseys that have tons of use. This Beckham shows the most wear I have in my modern day collection of jerseys. I've owned a few vintage and own a few vintage that could possibly match up with this Beckham in terms of wear, but this one steals the show. My guess is that with these CB jerseys being so thin that they don't hold up to well from everyday baseball use.

Always hard to photo match cleats, but I think I found at least one distinct mark on the first pair of cleats that Kevin Youkilis wore with the White Sox.

Mind you, these PE cleats are BOS colorways (navy, red and gray), but I'm guessing he didn't have the CHW colorway (black, gray and white) to wear with the White Sox when he got traded.

Anyway, I found a distinct snag above the second shoelace hole that stood out, and a dirt mark above the fifth shoelace hole on the right cleat. Very happy to have these cleats in my White Sox collection!

Great player bat you have! Gotta luv the Cuban Missle. I believe he'll win at least couple Gold Gloves here before he's finished here on the South Side.

Here's my '72 throwback Rios from the 2012 season. Matched to 11 of the 12 Sunday Home games. He wore a JR Day jersey on the 15th of April for the other home game. 2012 was Rios first solid season from start to finish here in Chicago since acquired in '09. The much improved consistent Rios finished the season with a .304 avg 91 RBI's with over 20 homers and stolen bases. He has continued his consistency the start of this 2013 season and just ended a 18 game hitting streak.

This jersey is freakin long with +3" body & +1" sleeve length. Great matches all around using the pin stripe method.

Here are a few pics from the 2012 season.

08-22-2013, 08:32 AM
I know he is terrible and has been a giant let down like so many other prospects we have had but still thought it was a cool bat. I'm assuming this was one of his braves bats because the red line has been covered up with a piece of electric tape.

No Doubt he Whiffed a few times with this bat also!

Glad to see this thread staying alive despite the miserable season were having.

Ron, I wouldn't doubt that it is Dunn's 400th HR Gamer. I'm noticing the same loose threads you mentioned. I'm also noticing some kind of curl on the bottom of the "HIC MAN" patch that looks to be similar as the pics you provided. Lots of matches adding up. NICE!!

I'm going to the game on the 18th and I'm trying to get balls personalized for my son. Any suggestions on the best place to get them. My seats are in the first row of 132 behind home plate behind the scout seats. $15 dollar a ticket steal. Anyway I'm gonna try to get up by the dugout before the game. I haven't tried to get anything from a game for about a decade so I'm a little rusty.

sox83cubs84
09-15-2013, 09:34 PM
Access next to the dugout at the Cell is not difficult and most of the autograph hounds are reasonably decent (two things that can't be said about the Unfriendly Confines 9 miles to the north). The park only opens 90 minute prior to game time, though, so you likely won't see the Sox taking BP. If any come out during the visitors' BP or after BP but well before the game, they are often good signers. You can also try hanging by the left field bullpen when the starter warms up to get relief pitchers or coaches.

Good luck.

Thanks Dave for the advice unfortunately I didn't make it until after the 1st due to driving out to Waukegan to pick up this gem from Jim & Steve's sports cards from the Chris Sale signing on the 13th. I bought it through Steiner and it has a MLB Holo as well. Sale inscribed 6th Career Save.

Keon Barnum bat with tons of ball marks and cleat marks and a very interesting tape job. Pretty excited about this bat because this kid has some pop. Hopefully he can show up in the next couple years to the big club.

I guess it would help if I attached a photo.

35th&Shields
09-26-2013, 11:34 AM
It would be nice if he can translate that pop form the minors into the big leauges. Not sure how much more I can take with all these blown saves & losses. The only reason why were not gonna hit 100L's this season is cuz of the few more wins we had with Peavy, Rios and Thorton.

if nothing happens during the off season were there for sure.

I hate to see Konerko go out like this, but this team next year needs to much work before they can be considered contenders. My guess is he moves on, whether in street clothes or another uniform. He still has a few left in him.

Thanks, and yea were lucky to have gotten him from the tigers since you know the sox will never produce a player like that through their system lol they rather have those athletic football/baseball players like Mitchell lol I only went to one game this year , in may I think. Well, if there's a positive, we get the third pick in the draft. Lets not screw it up!

Yup $20 or two for $35. I don't think his English is too good. I asked him to write what was on my notebook on the bat (white sox debut ) and he thought I wanted him to sign the notebook lol and when he did write what I had written for the bat and the pic , he had to keep looking back at the notebook to see how to spell the words. Very nice guy, kinda shy it seemed

09-30-2013, 11:06 PM

Phegley definitely had less but he finished first because avisail got there half an hr late lol I'm not sure if it sold out , Chris on here, said when he went to get his tickets that they had 11 left. My understanding was that they had 250 tickets available for each but I heard some people say they were number 300 and something so I don't know. The process was super quick. I passed by phegleys table as he waited to leave. Shook his hand and said nice, really nice guy. I didn't buy a ticket for him though, I didnt think he was worth it lol hope he proved me wrong tbohgh

6 autos or 9? The jersey is really nice, too bad im poor haha the tickets would look nice frames together

helf35
09-30-2013, 11:50 PM
These were supposed to be personalized to my son and sister but it was an epic fail. He was probably tired of me standing there. I showed up about an hour early so I was able to talk to the owner at deans dugout. He said Avisail was late because he is currently moving into a house somewhere around the area. Good chance he might be popping up a few more times this offseason. He probably needs to pay for some new furniture. As long as prices are that cheap I will be buying plenty of tickets.

I couldn't help myself I bought 3 more when I got there. I also got an 8x10 and got 2 Phegelys. He signed a ball to my son and inscribed happy birthday and best wishes. Next time I will have to take your approach and write it down. Someone told him they were glad he took Tyler Flowers spot in the line up. He replied with so was I.

All this Sox talk and recent pick ups got me pumped for the upcoming season. Below zero here in the Chicagoland area, but I'm going to stay positive and keep thinking of the smell of grilled onions in the summer time on the concourse deck. Yeah Buddy!!

Here are a couple of his jerseys of one my favorite players to watch when the Sox were the Hottest ticket in town during the '05 '06 season. While the long ball is Nice! I like to watch players with speed. Swipe a few bags here and there, stretch singles into doubles, doubles into triples and bunt there way onto base even when the opposition knows its coming.

No mind blowing photo matches here, but I'm pretty sure this is the same jersey Pods wore during the '06 season. Pin stripes seem to match up consistently on all the pics that I found on the web.

have nothing i need him to sign lol id like a 16x20 but with the cost of it and the price they charge, it wouldnt be worth it


I was lucky enough to go to Sox fantasy camp this year and I met Jose Abreu. He signed a bat for me. The guy is huge. Can't wait to see him at the Cell.

Yeah that one I had in blue was very hard to see. Hopefully I can get the photo framed up with the ball line up card and ticket stub soon and i will post it on here. Im still debating on trying to get the card fully signed or not. I loved how your helmet turned out you getting a display stand for it?

Finally landed a nice set of Avisail Cleats from his time with the sox last year. They have #26 written on the back. Anyone else with a pair have any of his numbers from the minors through his time with the sox? I have seen about 5 pairs and this is a first.

I don't want him to but I think he will cool down soon when they stop throwing him so many fastballs. The league always catches up to these guys second time around. I'm gonna wait and see what happens I don't want getting stuck paying puig prices.

How much are abreu bats ?

04-28-2014, 11:14 AM
No idea yet i havent seen one for sale. He swings the Chandler bats and I have seen him use the Murruci. I bet they sell them for $400 at the garage sale or even $500.

ive seen abreu hit everything, even offspeed, inside pitches too. of course its going to be a learning curve for him and the pitchers. theres no doubt in my mind he can hit. yea obviously not 10/30 every month lol but hes legit. the sox appear to be the anti tigers. the tigers sell everything on auction, pens, helmets, like 10 miggy jerseys a month lol not the sox. they never put anything up online and not that many good stuff in the garage sales ,unless the people that go first get them all. @chris, did u ever follow that sale jersey on sox auction? wondering how much it went for

helf35
04-28-2014, 05:49 PM
It went way to high. At the garage Sales they are $600-$800. I sold my Pujols signed Jersey last week and picked up a Sale jersey for $349 so I will post a pic as soon as it arrives.

dang thats a lot. his signings have been pricey. with the price of the ticket and 20$ for a ball, might as well pick one up on ebay. i wont be buying anything abreu probably until the offseason when prices drop. anyone see what his bowman rookies are going for? nuts

That's a good point about Abreu. However, since he's fast become my fave Sox player, I'm really looking into going to that signing. Ebay is reasonable, but if he continues to be the an awesome hitter, his prices might skyrocket...kind of like if he becomes a huge star like Puig. I figured, it's much cheaper for me to shell out for 2 auto tickets than keep driving to Comiskey and hoping he signs. By the way, has he been a good signer at Comiskey?

Not unless he was signing autographs as a 3-year-old.

Your always getting sweet inscriptions. I don't think this guy deals with items like this very often. Super high reserve prices and your right the hat doesn't look used at all. Seriously it's a spring training jersey. This is the 3rd time he has listed the jerseys. He has had to of lost over $100 on reserve prices already. I'm not bidding this time and let's see if it gets past $50.

Yea the jersey is real and I think it is st used , just saying I don't think the hat was worn by a player because it has a retail sticker on it

Daniel Wagner bat. It was sold to me as game used, but I really have no reason to believe that it was. I actually picked it up for a friend, then realized it'd cost $80 to ship to Asia. Decided to just keep it.

Im suprised he already has a bat with the white sox engraving. The sox have alot of these guys that can run. I think he has had 30 sb's a few years now in the minors. Its going to be hard for some of these guys to come up with so many at the same position. wagner, micah johnson, sanchez , Tim Anderson and davidson along with whats already been brought up in semien and luery garcia.

I got it at the end of 2011, if I recall. The team engraving is available to any player on the 40-man roster, from my understanding. I guess if he were in extended ST in 2011, that would explain how he got the White Sox bat. :) He's has decent speed with a below avg bat and below avg defense. That combination makes him a decent MI... or a potential pitcher conversion. Of course, he seems to care more about his music career than baseball, so who knows?

I haven't noticed any change so far. I see more changes in my new signed balls then used. I haven't had a used ball bleed or fade yet.

how do game used baseballs hold up over time? stay the same, get worse?

In theory, they should hold signatures better than brand new balls. The reason is game used balls are rubbed down by umpires before the game. Add to that the scuffs that occur during the game, and most of the shiny coating is worn away. Additionally, the worn leather (of a game used baseball) might do a better job of absorbing/adhering the inks to begin with.

By contrast, a retail ball (basically, the majority of OMLB, OAL, ONL balls) would have whatever surface the balls are treated with. Also, being a new leather surface, it's possible that the leather will take longer to absorb the inks. That could lead to smearing or fading over time.
