December 2012 Pickup....

[jake33]

Last Month of 2012. What are your pickups?

[jbsportstuff]

Last time I checked it was still November.....

[jake33]

Was that really worth the post, with about eight hours until December?

Wow, yes I am totally wrong, it is November 30th and I posted for December pickups. So what.

Uh...ok. Just saying that it wasn't December yet and I was suprised that someone had posted Dec pickups. I then though later that someone in NZ or Australia could have posted it..but I guess I was wrong there too. No biggie really.

Had a nice end of November and early December...

Wade Boggs 1984 uncracked, signed game used bat.

Robinson Cano 2006 uncracked, signed game used bat.

Craig Biggio 1999 uncracked, promo, game used bat.

Mike Trout 2011 uncracked game used bat. The tape at the bottom of the handle has been removed. I cannot find an image of Trout using a 2tone Old Hickory in 2011 at the MLB level, besides in BP. I believe this bat was used in 2011 Fall League.

All the bats show very nice use, but the use on the Trout does not show up well in pictures,

Very excited to get a ball from my favourite team... The Lions? No, MICHIGAN FOOTBALL! Go Blue! :)

Can anyone explain what the number (21) written on the ball might be? I contacted the Athletic Department, but they didn't know. Ball was made in Feb 2008. Number 21 was wide receiver Junior Hemingway, could this have been the ball used for a touchdown catch!?!

Thanks!

Finally after waiting all these months, I got to add two new Kolten Wong bats to my "Hawaii" collection. One is game issued & the other is game used. Plus I got a game used Texas League baseball. Thanks to my connection for getting the bats for me.

Nice Wong bats! Simply awesome! I am planning on keeping mine and hopefully finding a few more along the way. If you ever have access to any more, lmk. I will take game issued or uncracked bats. Keep the collection growing Rick!

After a lot of FedEx waits and days and days of waiting, I finally got the haul of 3 1982 game used jerseys of Pete Rose, Andre Dawson and Dale Murphy. The Murphy seems to have the most wear with looks like dirt stains and feels the most washed, Dawson second with some light staining and Rose the least with sweat stains at the arm pit.

Thanks Brian... For a while I thought I was never going to get another Kolten bat. I was happy when my friend called me to say he finally got me the bat & that he would be at my house in an hour. He showed me the 2 bats & asked me which one I would like. I told him that is so hard to decide, then he told me "good, they are both yours". I nearly fell over...

Is that your Kolten Cardinals jersey on eBay? I can't imagine you selling such an awesome piece.

Rick

[brianborsch]

Hey Rick! What a great story! Glad you got more Wong bats. I felt bad after you sold me the one and then told me you had regrets over selling it.

Yes, the Cardinals Wong jersey is mine. I am in need of cash and though I am not that desperate, I would part with it for the right price. Notice it is not cheap. It is an awesome piece, and I'll never find another like it. So if it doesn't sell I won't be heart broken. I just thought I'd throw some feelers out there!

Good luck on selling the Wong jersey. If I wasn't so overboard on my Kurt Suzuki collection. I surely would be going overboard collecting Kolten's memorabilia.

[brianborsch]

Thanks Rick! Either way, I'll still have the bat you sold me and his 2013 Futures Game bat. Those are the items I really want. I like bats better than jerseys.

[HawaiiSportsNut]

My newest acquisition to my Kurt Suzuki collection, a 2011 Athletics Throwback game used jersey. This 1980's throwback was used on July 17, 2011 against the L.A. Angels.

2003 Derek Jeter - signed Air Dry Model bat

I've been continuing to revamp and add to the Jeter collection, with this one definitely being unique. The mota buildup on the handle is unreal and like it was dipped in cement, with extremely heavy overall use, especially the barrel. This one for sure stands out in the bat rack against the others.

Pretty happy with a small pickup this month...2012 GU Joey Votto Franklin wristband from his marketing company off of Ebay (nice $5 score) easy to style match due to the lack of #19 stitched onto it...he only wore this style during one series immediately following ASG vs. Cardinals.

[justinwc80]

Picked up a couple Griffey items to add to my collection. First Mariners era bats, one is signed as his 13th HR in 1995 along with the Coast to Coast COA signed by Griffey and the other is a hammered Mariners bat with great use.

Not really so called Game Used, but a neat vintage item I picked up last week. Framed photo of legendary high wire artist Karl Wallenda walking the wire over Fulton County Stadium before a Braves game. Framed up with the actual cancelled check that the Braves paid Wallenda. The original owner actually took the photo at the game in 1972 and then later came across the cancelled check and had them framed up together. I just love to add those vintage oddball one-of-a-kind items to my Braves collection.

[Insomniac186]

I went to the the SF Giants big game used gear sale yesterday. All I wanted was a cap. They only had game used caps from the 4th of July. There were just a few, mostly coaches. I picked up this one worn by George Kontos. He pitched 1 inning in the game and the cap is authenticated as game used.

I also believe I have a photomatch. The camo pattern is cut from a piece of fabric and so each logo center and batterman logo background is unique. I could only find a picture of Kontos from the game showing the back of the cap. Does anyone think it's a legit photomatch? Check the last photo. The picture might be too blurry.

I havent been posting items I've picked up, but one just came today that I was really excited about...


Matt Holliday 2008 Game Used Away Jersey

Photomatched to every away photo I can find of Matt wearing this style in 2008. Also photomatched to the following home runs: June 24, 2008 (Home run 113), July 7, 2008 (Home run 117), August 2, 2008 (Home runs 122 and 123), August 3, 2008 (Home run number 124).

Still looking for other Holliday game used items. My email is posted below.

-Tyler

[rdeversole]

Nice Tyler! You're amassing a nice Holliday collection.

One of my favorite Dec pickups would have to this 2012 Corky Miller game used Cincinnati Reds spring training jersey with great use. I photomatched it to both of the 2012 Corky ST pictures I could find with the white loose thread on the upper inside of the "D" in "Reds".

Just received Eric Davis' Giants game used hat. I know its not a great photo... but I think the hat may be a match to Eric's last game in Cincy. I bought the hat and some other items from the same guy. Here is the pic of Eric walking off field, a pic I took of hat and pic from the seller when I made my purchase (the mark under the bill is fabric, not a black line drawn or anything like that). I realize other hats may have looked like this, but its as close as i've come to matching anything of his... I hate MLB and copyright rules!

Road jersey arrives tomorrow from same year. Wishful thinking? Or a match?

[EricTheRed44]

Sorry for yet another Davis photo, but here is a shot of the auto. Pretty stoked about the jersey that arrives tomorrow as well.

I just picked up one of my favorite players, Justin Smith.
I watched this guy play in high school, college at the University of Missouri and now in the pros.
It's a trashed 2005 black Bengals jersey photo matched to the season opening home game against Cleveland on 9/11/2005.
Check out the 2 holes on the back of the jersey to the right of the 0.
I'm working on matching it to other games as well.
The Bengals are cheap!
I'm sure he used this in more than just one game.

Pablo... That is one nice Cespedes batting helmet. You are getting quite an impressive collection, hope you will be adding a lot more to it in the coming year.

[EricTheRed44]

Just got this jersey yesterday and hat the day before. I love the American flag (obviously added after 9-11, so last few weeks of his career). Hat I believe I photomatched.

Probably my last pickup of 2012. Considering I have only been collecting for a little over a year, I'm happy with my pickups.

Thanks to everyone for a good year and helping me out when i've asked questions.

Happy holidays,

Derek Jeter Game Used Bat.
Knob date of 9/6/2012.
Purchased Direct from Steiner.

Forum member Chuck70 was a huge help with this bat. I have multiple photomatches, and was able to confirm this bat was used from 9/24/2012- 9/30/2012 when it was cracked in the 1st inning. It was used for career hits 3,295 3,296 3,297 and 3,298. The bat was used for the last two games of a 19 game hitting streak. I've got more matches, I just need to put in the photoshop time. Thanks again to Chuck, he really went above and beyond to document these at bats.

2012 Ryan Hanigan NLDS Game Used Bat

BTW, did it end at hit number 3,298 or possibly make it up to 3,300?

Thanks

[GoTigers]

Thanks Ben, it was broken in the 1st inning on the 30th so it stopped at 3,298. It's been a blast tracking down the history of the bat. Again, big thanks to Chuck70, and congrats on your great pickups this month Ben.

Thanks Jimmy, it's good to get those MLB TV high def matches now while you can, as it switches to only standard resolution game archives when they add in the next season, much tougher to match. I'm not sure how much longer HD broadcasts are there, figured they'd be gone by now?

Wow snick,

You have an AWESOME gf and Mom!! I didn't get anything close to that cool from the family. Nice pickups. I just hope you don't start dropping everything once you touch those Wallace gloves like he does :rolleyes:.

hahahahaha, i told my gf when she bought them to have them sent straight to wallace so maybe he can catch something once in a while.

Thanks Rick.

I also have a Cespedes worn BP jersey from the opening series in Japan and the game used bat used for his first MLB hit in Japan. Both MLB authenticated.

Received this at beginning of December but after another Pro Bowl selection and making playoffs...wanted to show my Cincinnati Bengals 2011 GU Geno Atkins jersey. POUNDED with use and odors and also ripped and cut completely top to bottom on front. Couldn't be happier to have grabbed this from the JO sale.

[MLB_Authentic]

Picked up this 2012 Game Used Baseball that was hit for a triple by alexi casilla, a single by denard span, and a double by Joe Mauer. MLB Authenticated. Also picked up a Magglio Ordonez Game Used HR Baseball also MLB Authenticated. alexandriasenators@gmail.com

What pitcher decided not to toss and ask for another ball after getting hit for a triple and a single? Did he pitch it to the next batter after the double? It would be interesting to check out on mlb.tv Cool item.

[MLB_Authentic]

It was Brandon McCarthy. The authentication ends after the double to Mauer so I assume it was taken out then.

[gadsden86]

Hey guys lots of great stuff this month.
Well i was able to get an item from my favorite player. Listed badly as no can spell his name right.
Got this for a good price would have liked less but not a big deal.
The listing said he got it from a practice in 2000 and was maybe used in a game as well.
It doesnt match his game style gloves i have seen him use but the size is right and then found this pic.
Looks like a good match to me. LMK what you think.

3. C.J. Mosley pair game worn gloves - FINALLY got a pair from a player

4. Chris Prosinski game worn glove

5. TITANS receiver Michael Preston (gotten to know him really well) signed, game worn glove.

And in the January thread there'll be a few new Titans nike jerseys likely added :) (merry late Christmas to me I guess, lol)

[Dewey2007]

I haven't been posting much in the pickup threads but thought I'd get this one in before the year ends here in the west. I recently picked up a 2012 Jimmy Rollins game used helmet directly from the team. MLB holo info:

Hologram number EK095338 was located in the MLB Authentication Database under GAME-USED BATTING HELMET.
Session Product Description:

Session Name: MIL AT PHI
Session Date: July 23, 2012
Authenticator: AUTHENTICATORS, INC.
Additional Information: JIMMY ROLLINS

Session Name: COL AT PHI - GAME 2
Session Date: September 09, 2012
Authenticator: AUTHENTICATORS, INC.
Additional Information: JIMMY ROLLINS

Helmet was one of three the team had for sale recently and was the only left-handed batting one available. Glad to finally add a helmet to my collection.

Happy New Year to everyone!
