June Pick Ups

[BULBUS]

Mariano was great like he always is with signing! He signed everything with the inscriptions I asked for... I had him sign a number of game used items of his that I have collected over the past year or two. He joked and said he always wondered what happened to all of his stuff!

3 or 4 years ago, I went to a Mariano signing at Last Licks (Steiner) in New York. I paid for an inscription and when I got up to Mo and asked him to add 2005 Game Used to my Jersey, which I showed him the Steiner LOA, he said he was not allowed. I was pretty bummed, but rather than get my money back, I had him add "Last to wear 42". Other than that, he was great, super nice guy!

why wasn't Mariano allowed to write game used, isn't that an inscription?

I guess it was in his contract. He looked at the 2 guys sitting next to him and they shook their heads.

What do you mean? He only wore one of these. Its a direct Photomatch, getty has a ton of pictures of him wearing this exact jersey.

I don't mean to stick my nose in here, but each player is issued 2 of these shirts. They wear them for workout day, the HR derby, and batting practice the day of the game. It stands to reason that Reyes may have worn both of the 2 issued to him. That means calling this a photomatch may not be completely accurate. I know Andrew Lang has an Alfonso Soriano BP shirt from 2006 with MLB holo listed in the database as game used, and I think you know about the other. So although he is also in the photo you posted with the Reyes photomatch, without a stain, pulled threads, etc calling Drew's shirt a match may also be a stretch.
