1987 Roger Clemens home jersey - from a 20 Win and 2nd consecutive Cy Young Award winning season, a tough jersey with the Fenway Park 75th Anniversary patch and great overall wear on it.

[swainer]

Ho hum....just a couple of AMAZING pickups. Congrats Ben! GREAT pieces.

[seanbaseball]

I know this isnt game used!!!!!!!!! But i thought it turned out good so i thought id share...............My 1926 team signed cuts from the Cards first World Championship. Technically still missing 5 or 6 but they are guys that are "no namers" and died early.

[GoCrazyFolks76]

Wow!!! Between Ben and Sean, you guys are starting off this months thread really strong.
Congrats on those awesome pickups!!!

[ironmanfan]

Other is a Delmon Young game used jersey I picked up at Orioles Fan Fest that was worn in a game in May of 2015 when he homered twice off the Rays Jake Odorizzi (also a game I attended):

[RaidernatioN]

Nice way to start the month!

[sox83cubs84]

I found a REALLY low-priced GU 2009 A's green alternate jersey of Adam Kennedy on eBay. The jersey looks great.

Where did you find the custom matting? Thanks for any info!

[seanbaseball]

[QUOTE=Copa;403335]Where did you find the custom matting? Thanks for any info

At a local frame shop in St Louis

[TwinLakesPark]

A few additions to the wall this year:

2010 Ken Griffey Jr
2005 Ken Griffey Jr
91-95 Frank Thomas

[gorilla777]

George Brett '85-'87 cap:

[Nickkaszer18]

My latest item to add to my Molina collection. 2016 Road jersey. Has great use as shown with the frayed shoulders from the chest protector. I was able to match it to a few games including his grand slam in Pittsburgh for career HR 107.

[seanbaseball]

Very nice Molina. I should have bought it!

[Nickkaszer18]

Hahaha you got 2 incredible ones already! Thanks for the help.


Very nice Molina. I should have bought it!

[ironmanfan]

While I obtained this Brian Roberts July 4th 2004 locker nameplate a few years ago, I was able to get it signed and notated by BRob a couple weeks ago from a friend who attended Orioles Dream Week:

In last weekend's MEARS Auction I picked up a pair of Cal Ripken Jr.'s early 1990's wristbands that were sourced from a Milwaukee Clubhouse Attendant...The number writing matches up to the ones that Cal had personally given me:

[seanbaseball]

Thanks to Sherba15 (Alex) I picked up a very nice 2009 Albert Pujols game worn jersey. Jersey is signed on front and back and is MLB authenticated as game worn April, 24, 2009 vs Cubs. Very rare to find an older pujols jersey that is mlb authenticated.

[sandknit]

Stoked to have added to my White Sox GU Jersey collection the MEARS Lamarr Hoyt jersey worn during his Cy Young season of 1983.

[swainer]

Nice Jr. and Big Hurt bats, Wes!

[Masimen]

Here is my latest Posada pickup. Super heavy tar and pounded with use.

[JDF5244]

...you're not kidding about being pounded with amazing use. Looks like it's been through a war....

[metsbats]

Daniel Murphy's game used World Series cap from Game 5 of the 2015 WS (his last cap worn as a Met). This has a second MLB sticker which further authenticates it to being worn during home games for the NLCS and NLDS too. There is sticker residue from the 2015 Post season patch.

Thanks to Brad Shafran who owns Shafran Collectibles from whom I acquired this cap from and had the pleasure to meet in person last Monday. Brad deals very fairly with his customers and is an up front and honest guy!

[davetiki]

Haven't collected in at least 8 years (damn kids lol) and decided to jump back in hard with some Trout gamers.

Just received the Biggio today. Dates to 95-97, GU 9.5 and the barrel is pounded with use. kind of a bummer that JSA put the sticker for the autograph over his number on the knob.

[dangerzone79]

1. That's a great bat.
2. I never understand why they cover number or date stamps with stickers. Frustrating. You'd think they know and and go back barrel or something. MLB authenticators do it all the time.

Great hat David! I love the inscriptions. This one certainly fits your Mets World Series collection perfectly.

[Wrigley2010]

Vladdy -

Sweet Vlady, I'm surprised he didn't just tape the barrel too!! :D

[seanbaseball]

Picked up an 04 Pujols bat and a 1986 Ozzie bat

[sox83cubs84]

George Brett early 80's era BP jersey:

Great Brett BP jersey, but the Rawlings logo on th right sleeve would place it in the 1987-91 era, not the early 80s.

Dave Miedema

[gorilla777]

Went on a run of Rickey's - first one is an '82-'83 A's bat:

[gorilla777]

Also, a '88 Yankees bat -

[gorilla777]

And a '01 San Diego home run bat:

[Rade25]

I've always thought the Rickey Henderson was the one steroid user already in the HOF, that Canseco was referring to. He's never said who it was, but that would be my guess.

[yankees506]

Nice run of Rickey bats Ben! Spanning 3 decades is pretty cool

[Masimen]

And a '01 San Diego home run bat:

Great Henderson pickups!

[gorilla777]

'00-'01 Tony Gwynn - I always liked the bats with the red, white and blue MLB logos like this, so happy to find this particular one.

[Masimen]

'00-'01 Tony Gwynn - I always liked the bats with the red, white and blue MLB logos like this, so happy to find this particular one.

Gwynn bats don't get much better than that! Awesome!

[Kid4hof03]

Great Rickey bats Ben. The Yankees bat is just tremendous.

[emann]

Same here . . . Well whoever it was probably isn't alone anymore.

Terrific bat; might be the best colored label Gwynn I've seen yet!

I was told that it was Reggie.

[Rade25]

Could be Reggie, but Henderson fits the steroid era a little better.
I agree, doesn't really matter anymore with Irod and Bags getting into the HOF. I'm with Frank Thomas!

[martyfromcanada]

Picked up this sweet 2016 Mets Spring Training, Jim Henderson Gamer from great seller, 'Truvalue'

86183

[truvalue123]

Thanks for the shout out, Marty!

[Nnunnari]

This forum is starting to look like the good old days, great pickups this month.

[metsbats]

Two years ago I brought Bubba Trammell's WS bat from him and this year brought his WS jersey. Had these photos printed and he was kind enough to sign them this week.

[sox83cubs84]

A buddy of mine who uses my authentication services sent me a great item that I expect to be a keeper: an early 1980s San Diego State GU BB jersey (black jersey with red pinstripes and white/red letters/numbers) of Mark Grace. I was able to style match it so far. Thanks, KB!

Somewhere out there, a former Chicago Ballhawk (not ballhawknet) has a Bubba Trammell HR ball that was the first ever hit in Devil Rays history (1998 spring training MLB opener vs. Florida). I was there the day he caught it, but was playing right field, and Trammell hit it to left-center.

94-97 Gwynn PSA 9 Great concentrated use area on the barrel.

[seanbaseball]

Great looking Gwynn bat!

[Masimen]

Thanks Sean!

The "I was safe in my mind" photo is epic.

Starting next month Ben will have his own dedicated monthly Pickups thread:)

Great pickups!

I for one believe Ben should be limited to one pickup post per month to level the playing field!:eek:

[Nnunnari]

Sweet Gwynn Steve. Good to see you and Ben finally adding a Gwynn to the collection.

[TG19]

Just Picked up a 1984 Tony Gwynn Silver Slugger Award to go along with my 1994 Silver (Batting Title) Bat Award and 1989 Gold Glove Award! :D

[Rade25]

Sweet Gwynn Silvers!

[gorilla777]

Wade Boggs rookie era bat:

[jscott0688]

Not game used but I am very happy with how this turned out. I bought it blank and had Bill Henderson do the lettering. I would love to get a game-used Cardinals TATC jersey some day, but this will do for now.

[Nnunnari]

Picked up a nice 1990 Gwynn. Only the fourth '90 Gwynn I have come across. I have owned other heavily used Gwynns from this era with the tape removed the handle.

Interesting; who has been removing the tape from the Gwynn's?

[mrjohnmalton]

Yu-Cheng Chang game used Victus bat.

[seanbaseball]

Picked up a great addition to my 2011 World Series set. Tony Larussa-shows a ton of wash wear.

[LarryWalkerFan]

Got this last month, but just got around to taking a picture of it.
