Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
So my unlce and I went to the M's game on friday night...and yes Seattle lost another one. But HOLY COW! did the team store have alot of game used/issued jerseys from old to new. So I talked with one of the guys that works in the team store and he told me that alittle while ago they were going through the Mariners storage units and cleanning them out when they found a couple tubs of game used and issued jerseys of many Mariner greats. Players like Edgar,Boone,Pinellia,Johnson,Buhner and etc. and didnt know they even had them, so now all are up for sale at the team store. Many of which so heavy game use and some with lighter use. I ended up scoring a 1996 away Edgar Martinez game used jersey with some really nice use, well worn I will post pics soon. So anyone headed to see the M's bring some cash to score on these nice jerseys prices range from $100-$400. I still cant believe how lucky I am to score such a nice jersey!!!

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
I was surprised as well.
I picked this '97 Dennis Martinez gamer for $100. Love the 20th/Jackie jerseys. The 'premium' players upstairs were a little too expensive. Maybe the Randy Johnson were OK at $400 but the others. :rolleyes:

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
If anyone happens to see a Chris Snelling GU (not issued) at or around $100 i'd be interested!
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Did they have any Ichiros? I hope I can work with someone, will add some dollars for your time, thank you!
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
If anyone from the board is going there and could message me, I'd love to acquire a Randy Johnson jersey.

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Could anyone help check if they are selling Yung-Chi Chen or Kuo-Hui Lo's jerseys or bats?
Thanks!

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Chris Snelling gamers were on the $100 rack. Don't remember the year. No Ichiro or Griffey Jr. There was a Griffey Sr. There are/were some '94 teal gamers with the 125th patch. Some '95s with the Negro League patch.
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Forgot to add. There were no 2001 jerseys.

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
There are no Ichiro's and there haven't been any for years that I'm aware of. They all go to MLB auctions where they can bring more $$, there are 3 up right now from last season if you've got 2k to spare.
From what I recall the only Japanese players they have/had are Mac Suzuki and Hasegawa, the 3 Sasaki's are all gone.
Also of note, NONE of the jerseys are MLB authenticated, I personally do not have an issue with that but I know that some do. From what I saw the years avail. are 1990, 1991 (very few of these 2 years), 1993-1997, 2002, 2003.
Some of the players I remember seeing; Edgar, Buhner, Randy, Piniella, Olerud, McLemore, Nelson, Rhodes, Charlton, Bosio, Boone, Valle, Tino, A. Davis, Vizquel, Gossage, Fassero, Moyer, Cruz Jr, Guillen. There were a few others obviously and most of these were $300-400.
I do believe that the team store will still sell over the phone and ship out worldwide, however they do not have a game used person who knows the hobby. You may not get the best one in terms of use/wear. If someone wants a specific player/year I can head out there again and let you know what's avail. and perhaps provide pictures if time permits.

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Thanks for helping to sum up what was available marinersfan34. Like he stated many players still out there and yes some "cherry picking" is required to get ones with more use. My Edgar still has dirt stains and what I think pinetar or something at the belt line. I may try to head back up to seattle to watch another game and get another jersey, if my vacation time left permits. Many jerseys like 4 or more of each player that I can remember. Like Buhner, Boone, piniella,johnson, and some others. When I get to my computer I will post pics of my nice Edgar jersey. So goodluck to other forum members.

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
The $100 rounder downstairs had jerseys that went back as far as 1983. Most of the jerseys on both floors were 2002. There was one lone Danny Tartabull upstairs for $200. I wanted that one as well but forgot to go back.
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Any chance there was a Bucky Jacobsen jersey?
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Did anybody happen to see a Dann Howitt jersey?
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
It sounds like I missed the rounder that was downstairs and only looked at the "stars" rack. I will be there this afternoon to get some info on the messages I've recieved and hopefully help some folks out with some jerseys. I forgot the camera at home but will make some notes while I'm down there.
btw, upstairs there was nothing 86 or earlier, like the old style blue/gold, just the 87-92 style and the few that were there I believe were from 90-91.

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Please let me know if anyone sees any Mike Cameron jersey there.
Thx!

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Jeremy-
I would be VERY interested in picking up a Randy Johnson jersey or two. If there is any way that you could take a look and let me know what is left, I would appreciate it very much.
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Hi Jeremy, I'm interested in the Randy Johnson jerseys also. Please let me know what is there.
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Picked up the remaining 2 Randy Johnson Jerseys. Will post pictures later:)
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
There were a couple of Camerons from 2002 that I remember, not sure of the use on them though.
For those wondering, yes you can call the Team Store and they will take an order over the phone. They use their best judgement for game use but they are not collectors like us so there is no guarentee you'll get a solid gamer.
I am still more than happy to look and make sure folks get a jersey they want but the choice is yours. I will be down there later today regardless.
Bondsgloves, You took the last Randy jerseys they had?
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
They had three, someone bought 1. I bought the last two.

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Wow you guys are QUICK! I can't say I blame you though since the price was right for Randy.
I have a spreadsheet of any requests sent to me or posted here and will bring it with me when I go and I'll update as I go down the list in the order I received them.

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
If there is ever an Ackley, please let me know :D Thanks!
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Just an update, all the EdGAR's are now sold out also, and there are no Griffey Junior jerseys.
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
The jerseys are starting to hit eBay.
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
They do however, have two of the alternate 1994 Teal jerseys left, with the gold MLB 125th sleeve logo. One was of Jay BONE Buhner! If I were a bigger M's fan, I would be all over that one! I was very tempted to get that one nonetheless.
Also tons of Sweet Lou Pinella's and lesser players with the late 80's uniform style.

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
So now this brings back up my other tread with people who just buy off ebay and then list on their site for lots more.
This doesnt bother anyone!! So instead of most of these jerseys going to a real collector, they go to someone who's after a quick buck. I like the Gossage but after figuring he only paid alot less than what the price is at not, its not worth it.
-
Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Man, I was really hoping that wouldn't be the case.. the seller probably reads the forum but they're also local so they might have known otherwise.
I was hoping some people would get some for their collections at a great price but now it'll cost more if you want it.

I talked to the guy this morning. He told me they had 1 Griffey Jr and 1 A-Rod and they sold out the first or second day for 500.00 each.

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Jeremy, PM sent. Feel free to reply via email mklatt@iprimus.com.au if it is easier for you.
Thanks,
Mark.

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!

Yeah, it does personally tick me off also. I really hope the person did not read this thread, which is for collectors and run over there and buy them out. But, looks that way. I would have loved to get the Griffey JR. for $500...man. Will be hard to ever beat that price for being the real deal, and from the direct source no less! Oh well...what can you do?

Nothing you really can do but yeah at least you know the source and at best it was team issued. Even at 500.00 knowing it was team issued would be worth it IMO.

Totally agree...Griffey is going to be a HOFer. Considering Ichiro issued jerseys just went for $3300 range, yeah, $500 for a Griffey from the M's is a STEAL!

I had been emailing with Jeremy about picking up a Johnson jersey. REALLY hoped to add one to my collection, total bummer. I'd assume the person who listed them did read this thread and went and bought them all, so I'm happy to make a note of the seller and add him to my blocked list on ebay. I won't be paying double the price for the same jersey or bidding on any future items from him on principal.
Thanks to Jeremy for doing legwork even if it didn't pan out!

Re: Wow Safeco field team store!!!!
Funny thing was, they told me that they only had 3 gamers and had sold 1 already. I purchased the other two. They are to be shipped to me today. It will be interesting to see and compare them to the ones listed on ebay. Maybe the ones on ebay were just issued, the person I spoke toon the phone assured me the ones I purchased were used.
