June Pick Ups

Very nice Redick warm-up and vintage Pistons jersey. Very cool items. Nice work picking these up.

I have dreamed of owning a Derek Jeter game used jersey since I started collecting and I finally have one. This is the jersey Derek wore for the opening game of the 2009 Spring training season, photo day in Tamapa, and for the first two games vs. the Cubs every played at the New Yankee Stadium. Jeter had the first reordered Yankee hit ever at the new Stadium. Have found over 40 photos that match the jersey perfectly!

I'm pretty stoked I just received my first descente O's jersey. I've got a pretty good start on my favorite O's of the late 70's to early 80's.

Here's my O's collection.

I just made my first bulk purchase and did so with a few buddies. Of course the question came up why I was buying seven jerseys? I just responded that the prices were great (which they were) but really it was the opportunity to add Team USA styles that I was missing, sleeve patches, etc. The items I was most excited to add were the vest styles from 1995 & 96. Prior to this purchase I had 27 Team USA GU jerseys and had NEVER seen a vest available for sale and was able to add three. Highlights include:

1995 vest of former White Sox and Expos pitcher Rocky Biddle
1996 vest and undershirt of coach Ray Tanner (possibly Olympic worn)
1991 national team jersey of Steve Leshnock
1995 vest of coach Rich Alday
Jerseys with patches including 1994 Topps, 1997 Junior World Championships, United State Baseball Federation and "Baseball USA".

Today at the Cell was a blast! As usual, I made my trade of goodies with Tribe coach Joel Skinner, and got a bat that, to say the least, was unusual to find in the Cleveland discards...a brown Marucci bat of OF Nyjer Morgan (from a previous interleague series). Crack wasn't too severe, so I'm happy right there. But (and you knew there'd be a "but")...it was cleanup day for pregame baseballs. I found one in an empty seat, another rolled within reach by the wall near the dugout, and two members of the staff (Skinner and bullpen catcher Dan Williams) tossed me BP baseballs. The two from the field staff were intriguing, as they were final season Metrodome baseballs from their previous stop in Minneapolis (must've gotten mixed into the Indians' BP bucket). Skinner's gift was a straight BP ball, while the one from Williams was originally a game ball with an obvious mud rub. I may let the BP Twins ball go, but the other stuff stays put.

Got a Tony Perez 73-75 H&B Reds gamer. Won't have it for a few weeks, but it's a beauty. From Taube.

I may let the BP Twins ball go....

Hi there, Dave!!!! Contact me if you do decide to let the Metrodome ball leave your collection. Would look nice next to the Cordova HR ball.

That's a handsome Perez bat! Congrats!!
