2014 Cardinals WWU thread

[onlyalbert]

Show us your pickups and share your stories here. Here is my start. Colten isn't quite big enough yet but the smaller one may get used. I hope to find some cool stuff at the team store. Never seem to make it to the Cards Care store in time for anything good and can't be in two places at once. Should be some playoff/WS bats in the rack I hope. Gotta find that gem!

Snagged a GU hat from the Cards Care store, but I don't know the year. It's numbered "BP 40" on the bill, size 7 1/4, and has an inscription above the elastic on the interior: "G.R.M" on one side and "Annabelle" on the other. It's also got "40" written on the interior. I can't post photos from my phone, but any early thoughts?

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Not a guess but I can tell you that hat is Pj Walters. Anabelle is his daughter that passed away after being born premature. That happened in 2010 so that's probably from that year.

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Wow jscott, that's a serious haul! Here's my pickup from the Warm Up.....

[jlengeli]

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

That's INCREDIBLE. I was at the front of the line and went for a Piscotty ticket. Needless to say, mistakes were made.

jscott, please contact me about the MCarp jerseys, if you'd like. I'm sure you've seen he's my favorite player. once again, congrats on owning the morning!

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Here is my main 2014 WWU purchase ...

2013 David Freese Regular/Postseason Set 1 Alternate Jersey

The jersey shows moderate use with light tar staining on the shoulders, snags, and wash wear.

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

how were they on the prices?

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

how were they on the prices?

Cardinals Authentics had regular season bats priced the same as usual, with postseason bats going for up to $1000 (Molina $750, Beltran $1000, Holliday $600-50). Postseason/WS jerseys went up to around $600. Regular season jerseys went up to I believe $500. Not a ton of big names, but I saw a Matt Carpenter, Adams, Craig, Jay, Wong, and more. There may have been more jerseys as well that I missed.
