January 2015 Pickups

[Preston]

Happy New Year y'all!

Going to start off the New Year with a couple things from the Music City Bowl (best bowl matchup we've ever had in Nashville).

Got Torii Hunter's headband and got him to sign it, and got one of Elijah Shumate's gloves and got him to sign it.

Also got to meet Torii Hunter Sr, Gerald Riggs Sr., most of the good LSU players (including Fournette, Jalen Collins, etc), and most of the good Notre Dame players, and got to meet an NBA 50 greatest player and got him to sign the pic I got with him in less than a day's turnaround.

[Juan Gris]

Picked up this lineup card from the Reds/Cardinals game played on 6/22/05 in Cincy (Reds won 7-6). Adam Dunn hit two home runs off left-hander Mark Mulder and Tony La Russa passed Sparky Anderson in total games managed. The card is MLB authenticated and signed at the top and bottom by Tony La Russa.

[AWA85]

Hoping the holiday pick up is accompanied by a bounce back from Votto in the upcoming season. Here is a game used Joey Votto helmet from the 2013 season.

2011 Dez Bryant TD game worn and signed cleats.

[spartakid]

Sweet Lindor jersey, I love the futures game ones.

[ksfarmboy]

Bill, great Kelly jersey. I was hoping you got that one. I was the under bidder on that one and am glad I didn't go higher now that I know you got it.

[Juan Gris]

I just picked up the 9/22/02 Reds dugout lineup card from the final game ever played at Cinergy Field. I actually drove myself and a buddy to see this historic game while in high school and, immediately after the game was over, got to meet Adam Dunn in the parking garage. It was the first time I'd ever met Dunn and the experience made me the die hard Dunn fan I am today. Now I just need to decide how I want to get this card framed... :D

[ndevlin]

Adrian Beltre 2003 game used bat. Beltre bat #39 for me. If anyone would like to help with #40 and beyond, please give me a shout.

Just curious... What does the "X" on the knob mean?

113X is the model number of the bat.

[momen55]

113X is the model number of the bat.

X is for length. should be 36 inches. i know that clemente used the adirondack model 129X and that was 36.

I realize these are generally baseball/football posts, but the coolest thing I picked up this month was a Paul Menard crew team shirt. This falls into the category of "cool crap that will never be worth what it sold for originally":

Hey Nick, thank you. Yeah, it's always odd to see how few pics from even '96 there are out there.

Can't make them out but it's some kind of batch number. Every '97 Thomas Rawlings I've seen at auction has them, but for whatever reason it seems like they might have only used them for that year.

Correct. I believe it was not something done by Rawlings though. I beleive it was something done either by Thomas himself or by one of his people to track the bats. To date, I don't recall ever seeing similar stampings on a bat other than Frank Thomas. All were from the mid/late 1990s.

Thanks for the info, both of you. :)
