Can't wait til Christmas!!!!

[kylehess10]

My brother told me the other day that he bought me 2 things for Christmas that will make me go nuts! And he also told me that it's a different piece of equipment then what I have now. So today, a HUGE heavy box came in mail addressed to my brother and he told me last night the it was supposed to arrive today. I look at who it's from and it says STEINER SPORTS!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even imagine what he got me. Is anybody else expecting game used for Christmas? My brother is the only person in my family who knows a little about it and knows where to get it.

Hi Kyle,

Maybe your brother got you the best gift ever, A-Rod from the 2006 playoffs? I've heard from some of the Yankee fans on here that he's been missing since around October 4th...and hasn't been seen since so he could be your Christmas present.

An okay gift if you ask me...really expensive...but only useful from April through September.

Other Yankees sold separately.

That's awesome! No one in my family knows anything about buying a game used item. ( nor would be able to afford a GU item!)

Kyle how big is this box?

Maybe we can all help you guess what it is.

I like Tim's guess. Since Arod couldn't hit himself out of a brown paper bag in October this large box will probably keep him from coming out till you open it on Christmas morning

Re: Can't wait til Christmas!!!!

The box is about 1 foot tall and 2 feet wide. It's not THAT big but it sure is bigger than what regular equipment would be in. My guess is that it's a base. It sure would be cool though to get A-Rod for Christmas, I'd send him to the Braves right away since the Braves GM doesn't like good players anymore and he just wants to trade them all away

Smart money says its a base complete with metal post. They are impressive to look at, but with the post seem very difficult to display

Are the metal posts in bases removeable?

Thanks. My brother is currently at work and the package is just sitting in the hallway right now and I just wanna open it so badly and close it back up!

I'm wondering the same exact thing, because I am about to purchase one from Bob M @ Steiner... I would have thought 'yes' because they sell game used base wall displays, but I don't what it takes to remove the post (could be as simple as a couple of screws but I haven't seen one in person before).

Does anyone have a game used base, complete with post, in their collection? If so, do you know this info first hand?

Re: Can't wait til Christmas!!!!

Hi-
...I have 2 game used bases and just checked them out.There are no screws on the post.The post is surrounded by a metal square which looks like it's actually spot-welded to the base (once on each side of the square).It looks like you'd have to slip a crowbar under the square/post and just pry it off.Hope this helps...

I have 2 from the Cleveland Indians..will try and post pic..base posts are welded on..Jay

Re: Can't wait til Christmas!!!!

The post is attached to a metal plate covering the undersurface of the base. By removing the screws securing the metal ribbon to the base the post can be taken out

Re: Can't wait til Christmas!!!!

WOW!! I was talking to my brother tonight and he told me that he bought my other present (not the one in the box) from someone who originally got it from a company called Coast To Coast Sports and that their original price was $1399!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never been this anxious before for anything!
