Re: June Pick Ups

A couple of good, cheap items....

A Chris Duncan 1999 M110 - that is likely from his first season in professional baseball at Johnson City. GREAT early Dunc - with typical heavy tar...as you can see, I am in the process of repairing a crack thru the label.

Next is a set of 2002 Darryl Kile remembrance wrist bands. These were made by Rawlings for the Cardinals after Darryl passed away during a Chicago series...I have only seen one other pair, and have been patiently waiting for another to hit the market.

Re: June Pick Ups

Just got this in today, special thanks to fellow forum member Rich, for a flawless trade.

Dustin Pedroia game used home jersey from his 2008 A.L. MVP season.

The jersey shows some really nice game use with, puckering to the numbers, some loose threads on the outside and inside of the jersey, heavily worn interior wash tag and what looks like a dirt stain that has been previously washed. The jersey is also MLB and Steiner authenticated.

Thanks, Bobby

Re: June Pick Ups

Here is my second Edwin Jackson with the first. My newest addition does
not have a taped handle.

I now own two of the five of these bats that were made in 2008, thanks to BMH for
the info.

Edwin had a total of eight bats made for him while in Tampa Bay.

Quote from BMH.....
We've made a total of 8 bats for Jackson.
3, Maple, I13C, Gwynn Finish, 34/31, 5/07
3, Maple, I13C, Black, 34/31.5, 4/08

Re: June Pick Ups

I got this on Wednesday...the first Gerardo Parra bat I've seen.



It has an elaborate tape job, a clean (now repaired) handle break, and some nasty pine tar with a bit of grass stuck in it.

Parra was just announced as the NL Rookie of the Month for May. He hit a home run his first AB in the majors, and is hitting something like .700 with runners in scoring position.

This also happens to be the first American Bat Co. bat I've ever owned.

Re: June Pick Ups

I think there is a Parra bat that was used by Dunn in the MLB.com auctions.

I think Gameusedfan1 = Vipsportgems = Sheffield11. Maybe?

I think so too, and I also think it was an attempt to draw attention to items that obviously cannot be sold on this forum... These items were not picked up to be added to one's collection; they were picked up to turn a quick buck... which is not the purpose of the pickups thread. Folks like myself have $500+ items we too wish to sell here but don't because we follow the rules.

My comment was a sarcastic one, sorry about that. And yes, they are all the same person. Count me out for one of his potential buyers, it aint happenin.

Re: June Pick Ups

I think there is a Parra bat that was used by Dunn in the MLB.com auctions.

Yeah, I just looked at that...though I'm at a loss to understand how Dunn could have used the bat in '09, as stated in the auction description, since he was only with the Diamondbacks for the latter part of '08, and Parra didn't get the call-up till this year...and why, if the bat was used in '09, the DBacks would be issuing a LOA and not the Nats.

Anyone know how to contact MLB Auctions with a question about one of their items? I've looked in vain for a link on the auction page.

LOL. I just saw that other post. That should be a good explanation.

Re: June Pick Ups

Picked up my fifth Carlos Guillen bat. It is a Max bat and I believe it is from 2007.

Re: June Pick Ups

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".
