Has anyone ever tried using MLB TV to photo match cleats? I just picked these up and was looking to match them. They are Matt Guerrier's of the Twins from 2008. I don't have any access to MLB TV but was hoping someone would be able to help me out if this is possible or may even have pics of Guerrier from 2008. I have also attached a link to his game log for 2008 for convenience. Thanks for any help.

Cleats are one of the harder items to photo-match. Unless there are a few distinguishing marks it is nearly impossible. I have a few game used cleats in my collection & the best I was able to do was to style match them only.

I got very lucky with one of my Kurt Suzuki cleats as it had parts of the Nike logo with paint missing.

Do the cleats have any markings that stand out? Posting one picture of the cleats doesn't make it easy for people to help you out....post more pics and anything that stands out and someone may be able to help with a photo match.

I will when I get them. They are in the mail right now. I was more curious if it is something that is relatively easy to do or not.
