July 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

[helf35]

Went looking for a bat but ended up with this gem! To top it off i picked up another one 4 days later. Will be posting pics of that one later in the week.

[Birdbats]

I've been trying to acquire a Wayne Gretzky game-used stick from each of his four teams. I was missing only the Edmonton stick until I found this one, used in 1987. I like the St. Louis connection; it was given to late Blues' GM Ron Caron and his family.

Added a couple items of the Reds exciting rookie Billy Hamilton....his 2013 MLB Debut / 1st MLB Steal helmet and also a 2014 GU bat broken on a single off of Strasburg...loved the color!

Awesome Gretzky stick... Would live to see a pic of all of them, and how you display them.

Here you go. 1987 Edmonton stick on top; 1994 Kings stick below that; 1996 Blues stick below that; and a 1997 Rangers stick below that. At bottom is a signed 1996-97 Silvertip (blade is retail, not sure about the shaft). Attached to the wall using hardware from Breakaway Displays.

Love the Hamilton bat, much better than the pictures showed on the auction site. GREAT pick up!

Thanks, even better in person! Just wish he didn't remove his handle tape following the break

[brianborsch]

Awesome BHam stuff!!!! I'm jealous! Although I wish the bat was Uncracked!

[worldchamps]

Thanks Jeff

Those are awesome!!

What's the difference in yours and the Reds auction one? No disrespect just curious.

[AWA85]

Think one Hamilton helmet was a right handed and one was a left handed. Ryan has the first career stolen base one (as well as many other sb's) while the one on auction should be his first career hit and start.

Switch hitter didn't even occur to me.....off to the firing squad.

Nice Henderson collection Nick !

[momen55]

couple knobless models. top is an 86-89 atlanta braves team bat, model G105. other is a 36", 69-72, jose arcia. although the model number is not stamped on the knob, i will assume it is a G105, as it matches the same measurements as the top bat.
72088

[solarlottry]

A couple new pickups the last few weeks including:

1994 John Taylor home non throwback with team letter
1994 Steve Young home throwback
2012 Colin Kaepernick game worn wristbands with CK LOA.

I was the under bidder on the Watters home jersey that MEARS sold last week and if the winner is looking to sell or trade I would be interested.

Always looking for game worn 49er items!

A surprise from the wife. She'd been asking how observant I was. This has been hanging in my basement for a week. She removed another white jersey and put this in its place. MLB authenticated to April 29, 2014. Been an Alex Gordon fan since his AA days in Wichita.

I wish my wife...heck, ANYONE in my family, would think of gifting me with something game used at Xmas or my Birthday. It's a lost cause, though...many years ago when I needed a new mitt for ballhawking, I couldn't get anyone to even team up with someone on gifting me with a new mitt, I am SOOOOO jealous of the guys and gals on the Forum whose spouses actually think of them in this manner on a special occasion.

Nice Musial Ben!

[STLHAMMER32]

Ben,

That Rookie Musial bat is a thing of beauty, congrats!

[sox83cubs84]

Ben:

A Musial rookie gamer. For anyone's game-used Cardinals bat collection, I don't think it can get any better than that.

Dave Miedema

[Birdbats]

Ben, LOVE the Musial. Please email me the specs so I can compare it with my rookie-era bat. I had the chance a few years ago to take mine inside the H&B vault and compare it with Stan's vault bats. Wouldn't it be something if our bats were from the same order? Jeff

[Birdbats]

At last night's game, I picked up this 2013 Yadier Molina postseason alternate jersey at the Cardinals Care auction kiosk. Shows good wear with pilling on the right front shoulder and on the back under his name where the straps rub.

Awesome Davis bat! You buy it directly from the Brewers? I'll get my hands on Davis and Gennett bats before the year is out, hopefully.

A Keith Hernandez helmet. No idea what year it's from.

Waukesha Sports has a few left, and they will come down off the sticker price. Much cheaper than direct from the team store, athough I usually call Dave the game used manager direct. Expect more stuff towards the end of the year from Lucroy, Davis, and Scooter at Wauk. Sports as they're the WI exclusive for them.

[sox83cubs84]

Not a huge item, but an interesting Goodwill find, with my wife Shirley getting major credit on this. A couple of days ago she was there, and noticed what looked to be an autographed baseball on a shelf. with a $4.99 price tag. She came home (I was dealing with fatigue that day) and told me about it. She had no idea who the player was, but did know it was an official baseball. At that price, I gave her my debit card and the go-ahead to pursue it.

She returned about 10 minutes later, handed me the baseball, and I was pleasantly surprised, It WAS, indeed, an official MLB ball, game-used, no less, sweet spot signed by former White Sox backup catcher Toby Hall. Definitely a find, albeit a small one, and Shirley gets the credit for spotting it and giving me a clear enough description that led me to take a chance.

Wade Boggs 1998 Game Used Rawlings Bat (from Boggs' collection) - Per Wade, his Rawlings bats were his "slump" bats. While in a slump, he used these, and then went back to LVS once out of the slump.

http://asevotech.com/tg97_f.jpg
http://asevotech.com/tg97_b.jpg

Lou Whitaker 1994 & 1995 Game Used Home Jersey (from Whitaker's collection) This is one of the most spectacular jerseys in my collection, and demonstrates very heavy wear. Tagged as 1994, there is clear evidence of the Anniversary patch that was removed on the sleeve so the jersey could be used in 1995. Presumably the jersey was not laundered when it was collected by Lou as there are pine tar stains on the front and back shoulders, and some additional stains. Overall this jersey exhibits very heavy wear.
http://asevotech.com/lw94_f.jpg
http://asevotech.com/lw94_b.jpg

Joe Maddon Game Used Home Jersey - I do not collect modern day jerseys, however, I really wanted Joe's jersey with the original ZIM patch. This jersey was collected from the July 8th or 9th game, as was more than likely the home jersey that he has worn most of the year.

2005 Deion Sanders Ravens 2005 Blackout jersey from his final year the 10 year patch and nameplate were removed by the ravens but still has the stitching and imprint of the 10 year patch

[BamaHater]

At the Houston Astros game today I picked up MLB authenticated team issued Houston Eagles Negro League throwback they wore against Baltimore in the Civil Right game. This jersey is attributed to #66 Kevin Chapman who was in the Minors when the game was played. MLB took possession of the game used jerseys after the game for both Houston and Baltimore and to my knowledge have not auctioned any of them off as of yet. Houston just kept the ones of players not with the club at the time of the game and blanks. All are MLB authenticated as team issued.

The Castillo is kind of cool because it matches another one that I own, and appears it came in the same order. It got me thinking, I have 3 sets of bats that were in the same order. Decided to start a new thread to see if others have similar collections.

I have a few more jerseys coming in late this week/early next week.

[CPuente57]

Picked this up. MLB Authenticated. Shows it was broken in 1st inning of 4/16 game vs Nationals. Photomatches shows he used the bat the previous day where he hit a 3 run shot off Strasburg in the 1st inning for Hr #5 of the season.

Pair of pro-model bats that I doubt are gamers I got this month.

Chris Burke 2007 (might be 2006, but either way, he was in the minors during Mother's Day):

Hope to pick up some more of his in the future.

[dmb71vw]

Nice bat Sotystl. I need to pick up a bat of his but no one seems to want to sell. He grew up about 45 minutes from me.

I won the ball hit by Reds' top position prospect Jesse Winker for a double in the 2014 Futures Game. I noticed the last few nights he was not playing and was curious if he was injured but no details were available. After the auction ended I found that they released the details that day that he is indeed injured (tendon in wrist) and could miss the rest of the season. Now I know why people stopped bidding! ;)

Congrats, I was bidding until I found same details!

[3arod13]

Still a nice ball to have. Early in his career and it's not like his career is over.

[brianborsch]

I would have still tried to win as Winker is a beast for hitting. He'll recover. They'll get him caught up in AZ Fall League or Winter ball. It was a great hit!

[brianborsch]

Tony! My thoughts exactly! It could go either way of course. Hoping for a full and speedy recovery!

[rchimes13@yahoo.com]

Agreed 100%, I guess I've been a Reds fan for too long :) He will be fine and hopefully starting in LF in late 2015 or 2016, BUT only because I didn't get my "cursed prospect" hands on that ball :D

[3arod13]

Tony! My thoughts exactly! It could go either way of course. Hoping for a full and speedy recovery!

I hope so too! I've passed on an items i wanted for the same reason, and then turned out to be a big regret because I did. But that's how it kind of goes with our thinking. A player gets hot, everyone jumps on it. He slows down or gets hurt, and we hesitate. :)

Great pick-up twarman17!! Anthony's items are still relatively hard to find and you found a gem, congrats.

Great pick-up twarman17!! Anthony's items are still relatively hard to find and you found a gem, congrats.

Just an FYI about this item...there were a couple of these listed a few years back all with his name on them.

The sellers all gave conflicting reports of where they bought these, and I actually won one in an auction. When I told the seller I was getting this signed, he got spooked and cancelled the auction.

I printed out the auction and brought it to Rizzo when he was in Iowa, and he was pretty mad, saying his parents in Florida had all of his gloves..and called his agent on the spot to ask about them.

Thanks for the info, the seller is a massive glove collector and has spotless feedback on eBay. He included a COA he signed indicating that he purchased it from a collector that had obtained it from Rizzo directly. Who knows the origin, but it looks good and has indicators consistent with Rizzo's use (wear pattern showing index finger left outside glove, and extra long finger and thumb loops left untied). It's also his model glove. Interesting that there were a few of these around that were perhaps supposed to stay with Rizzo. I have not seen a glove of his available except one cubs authentics had available through his charity for $1,250 without a COA except that it came from Rizzo's charity.

Wasn't looking but was able to make a trade for this awesome Matt Adams Bat. Anyone have any info on this it would be much appreciated. I found a photo of Adams using a max bat this season but I imagine its from 2012. I love the ball transfers on this bat.

I can give you some info on it. This bat was obtained on 4/29/14 at a private signing done by Matt and his agent. I know this to be true because I was there....and was hoping to take it home with me! Very nice bat with a unique label. I can say that it was used this year either in ST or very early season. You may check Gettys or mlbtv for usage. He did use MAX in 2012 but preferred the black barrel/tan handle then. I have a few block letter models from then and a few signature models from 2012 and 2013.

[dnrapp]

Picked up an Jose Canseco late 80's/early 90's A's batting practice jersey. For a 20 year old jersey it shows very little wear so I assume it is team isued. A quick look at some images, I have found some style matches, most seem to be from baseball cards of that time period.

Thanks for the info. So far the only bats i have seen him use on mlbtv is the Chandler and the Murruci bats. All have been same color combo though. I did find the getty image of this model bat from a game this month. So maybe i can find an at bat sometime in April. I will just have to thumb through all his at bats. Thanks.

In that time frame, the A's had both mesh (Rawlings) and knit (Majestic) BP jerseys. Home style was bright yellow, road version was green.

I am not to sure, I am guessing mid-late 1980's! I also have a picture of Tony wearing this Jersey!!
