That bat is awesome

[Wrigley2010]

Picked up a pair of 2013 Javy Baez autographed game used Nike cleats. I know cleats are not the top item most collectors here look for when seeking game used items to add to their collection but I have to say they are nearly at the top of my list as I love how easy they are to display. While these are not the most expensive item in my collection they are certainly my new favorite item!

[wildjimmy]

Awesome cleats wrigley, how/where did you acquire them?

[Roady]

I like cleats too. And they are usually both signed.:)

[jbean023]

Will Jimmy Short Me An Email Please

[Wrigley2010]

Thanks guys for the compliments! The cleats were obtained from a clubhouse source working for the Tennessee Smokies.

I don't get it. It's like having a Kobe Bryant jersey signed by Michael Jordan. Separately, they're both cool. But together they just don't make sense.

[spartanservitto]

I love the bat and the idea , you made an average bat cool because Rivera broke it. Very cool idea.

[anthony3133]

Agreed, great piece with great historical and conversational value!

[tigerdale]

Thats a great signed Rivera bat Joe!!! Its so unique & a part of history I think. Theres a ton of Rivera signatures out there...but very few if any on a bat that he broke...let alone his last game in Detroit. Awesome!!

SICK BAT BL

[BernBabyBern]

Recent pick up. Big Jeter item.
2013 signed game used helmet. Used during second half of the year.
Photo matched to multiple hits. Including on 9/3/13 when he passed Eddie Collins on the all time hits list.

Enjoy!

Pablo

[Oriolesfan29]

Hey Guys,

I've acquired some items since I last posted on this so while I didn't acquire all these in March these are my most recent pick-ups:

Big Zack Greinke Fan, so got two nice items to go with my growing collection. Grabbed a MLB authenticated Greinke Brewers jersey from 2012 which I framed up with my game used 2011 NLDS Nameplate. To keep up with getting his playoff nameplates I got this Dodgers NLCS one from MLB auctions which came in last week.

Got a 2012 TBTC Jose Altuve MLB authenticated game used cap and 2013 pair of road game used batting gloves.

Picked up two nice Mark Reynolds items. Stoked he's with my NL team the Brewers now. MLB authenticated Victus bat from the 2012 season that looks sick. Also got a 2011 Stars & Stripes MLB authenticated cap. Thanks forum member Geoff.

Last but not least are my pickups from Os FanFest. Game used Jim Johnson Friday cap. Game used Jonathan Schoop jersey from 2013 Spring Training (Schoop wore 37 during ST, Gausman wore it during the regular season). Last I got two 50th Anniversary year lineup cards to go with my 20th Anniversary of Camden Yards lineup card. One of them is the Mothers Day card from that year.

Thanks for looking. As always looking for anything Altuve, Greinke, or Orioles Mark Reynolds.

Hello::)


luis Aparicio Game Used Bat. Is A Venezuela Label For The 60's Or 70's, Very Rare.-
luis Aparicio Lp.-

[sox83cubs84]

Steve Henderson (now Phillies hitting coach) has been generous in giving me GU caps over the last decade, but, not being an active player, didn't have bats. So, I went to eBay and won a late 1970's medium brown Adirondack 240A game-used and cracked bat from his Mets days. I have started to by a bat here and there for coaches I now who retired more than 15 years ago, as well as players whose bats I've had to sell to pay the bats in darer financial times.

[GoTigers]

As an Auburn Alum/Fan it doesnt get much better than this. Used for the "Kick 6" in this years iron bowl. Recieved these from the man himself. You can see the black mark on the sleeve on the cover of SI just above the elbow.

[chakes89]

Now that is cool!

How did you manage to get those?

[GoTigers]

Thanks Chakes, I'm friends with a family member and once the season was over ,and all his eligibility was gone, I asked about autographs and if anything was available. I really got lucky!

[xsentrixsupra]

Not an SEC fan, but that was an amazing play and thats some really awesome gear you got there! Great pick up

[michaellechner]

Tigers, that is an incredible pickup from what was possibly the greatest finish to a football game ever!

That play kinda took some of the sting away from miracle at Jordan-Hare against my Dawgs.

Okay not really but at least took the attention away.

:D

I'm beyond happy!! 2012 Team Issued Prince. Fielder Home Jeresy . Goes with the Helmet and the Locker Room Tag ! Won it on MLB.com/Auctions about 3 hours ago!

[Vincent]

I recently bought a game issued/lightly used Indians BP Helmet. The helmet has #13 taped on the inside and is the model that Asdrubal Cabrera used during the 2012 season. Helmet is in good shape. How much could it be worth? If anyone is interested I can take pics tomorrow at some point.

[eric16841]

Would love to see pics of the indians helmet.

[swainer]

Ndamukong Suh Game Issued Pro Bowl jersey. Since they changed the format this year and had the draft, the league had to create jerseys for each player for both the Rice team and the Sanders team. This is the Suh version of the Team Rice jersey even though he played on Team Sanders.

Peace,

John

Max Kase (American writer and editor) had many successes during his tenure as sports editor of the Journal-American. In 1941, Kase founded the Hearst sandlot baseball program.In 1947, he organized an annual all-star game featuring the best players selected from local all-star games in cities with Hearst newspapers. The national all-star game was played at the Polo Grounds in New York and was called the Hearst Sandlot Classic. Kase solicited Babe Ruth to serve as chairman of the event. The Hearst sandlot program ultimately produced 50 Major League Baseball players, including all-stars Whitey Ford, Al Kaline, Joe Torre, Tony Kubek, Bill Freehan, Mike Marshall, and Bill Skowron > from Wikipedia

[russyurk]

Chisox1967 those are awesome!

[momen55]

this is a 70's or early 80's rangers helmet "recycled" for use in 86 by catcher orlando mercado. as you can see, the red is exposed. it is a size "M", medium shell. later style helmets were "L" or large shell helmets, making this one unique. don't know how many of these remain but it is cool. out of all the old ABC helmets i own, this is my first of this style. i found a baseball card of orlando wearing this style of "small" helmet and it just might be this one. who knows.

Not only a cool Pedro jersey but an awesome action shot to photo match it to! :cool:


Wondering, how does that pic photomatch it to the exact jersey? What are the distinguishing marks to prove it was game worn?

[johnsontravis@ymail.com]

Wondering, how does that pic photomatch it to the exact jersey? What are the distinguishing marks to prove it was game worn?

He is basing it off the pinstripes. The E and Z match up as does the sleeze. I think it is a good start and a good chance it is the jersey...but I Dont think it is a for sure match. If I was the owner I would try to find more pics.

Yes, by the pinstripes/location of the sewn letters and numbers. There was a link provided in the original post to see multiple photos of the pin striping (there are more photos but felt the ones listed were enough). You can click on the link below that is titled "here"
