The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

[R. C. Walker]

I remember what you've recalled here about the offseason of 1982-83. Garvey was hated by a lot of Cubs fans after he signed with the Padres...not so much because of the signing itself, but of the belief that he never seriously considered the Cubs, and used them just to drive up the price to play for a preferred SoCal ballclub.

Dave Miedema

Free agency was more predictable back then. Garvey's aspirations led to the fact he was going to sign on the west coast. Angels had no interest which left the Padres. One thing that hasn't changed though is how agents always seem to find that "other team" to start the "bidding war".

2106 Wil Myers blue & yellow home with a slash of brown. No more Fanatics so probably one of the last unwashed I will be able to pick up.

I will sell you dirty jerseys. Maybe not too many this year, but I will get you some for years to come.

Anyone have the gu contact for the padres?

No longer Captain Ahab. I finally found my White Whale. “Call me Ishmael.”

This style is one of the tougher to find for any Padres collector (whomever has the Dan Spillner, I'm waiting for that one to reenter the market :D ).

1975 John Scott/Don Hahn Road. Definitely the color scheme I'd love to see the Padres return to.

Boarding Pequod, I once again hit the seas to hunt down my next conquest . . . . a 1979 Padres Road.

Does anyone know the Padres GU item contact?

Padres related. 2017 WBC road Joulys Chacin.

Went to the Classic here in San Diego with Whoman. Had a blast.

2002 Sean Burroughs. Got it inexpensively off eBay. Think it's "hobby fresh" :D

Thanks. Took about seven days…

Calling it a 1980 (cause that's when he played for the Padres) Fiore Gino Tennaci bat.

Nice vintage athletic tape which is still intact.

What's unique about it is that it has Gene's nickname "Boat", short for Steamboat, on the knob.

[R. C. Walker]

2016 Drew Pomeranz alternate.

Red Sox should have used their Apple Watch to check the medicals before the trade . . . .

[R. C. Walker]

Pick up this nice 2016 Cleveland Indians (oops) San Diego Padres Austin Hedges bat.

[R. C. Walker]

2017 Erick Aybar . . . Was my good fortune to win a "Shirt Off Their Back" jersey. Thanks to my wife for scratching off the winning ticket.

Traded my original win of Darren Balsley to the guy behind me. Coach for a player who played in the game? Pine tar on the shoulders? Guess that solves the "game used" "game worn" dilemma.

Now if only Whoman would post his acquisition which he won after only 20 scratchers . . .

I was there with the authenticator as these were coming off the field and somehow missed you with my head down checking these off.

Sorry I missed you . . . It was pretty busy down there though.

2017 Austin Hedges Players Weekend jersey. MLB Authenticated it for all three games. Evolution patch. Tribute patch: Pat Bulger. "One of Hedges' first youth baseball coaches, lost his battle with cancer when Hedges was 12 years old. Hedges maintains that he still feels Bulger's impact today".

These are some buttfugly jerseys. The yellow is so bright. Still . . . nice to have one.

[BLANCO84]

is this available for purchase?




Couldn't resist picking up another Matt Kemp with pine tar all over the place.

The new "kiss-stich" appliqués sure show the wear. Big difference between hardly used and game used.

Was lucky to win this Will Myers Sunday Camouflage jersey at their annual " shirt off their backs" promotion. Will hit his 29th homerun and a double at this game.

2017 Players Weekend Brad "Brotato" Hand. One of my favorite active players...

The player who originally made the Louisville Slugger P72 famous, Paul Dade. I believe H & B retired the model number because of him.

Dated to 1979 from the 00 on the knob which he wore with the Indians and 4 at the top of the barrel as a Padre.

[R. C. Walker]

This style is getting very difficult to find . . . 1980 Bill Fahey.

What I remember of Fahey was that he had braces. As a kid I had ever seen an adult, let alone a baseball player, with braces. Very interesting at the time.

You can see it on the 1980 Topps card.
