Miguel Cabrera Batting Helmet
Anyone know who to contact at MLB auctions? Or the Tigers auctions?
Unless Miguel Cabrera has done some switch hitting lately, I don't think this helmet was used by him.

Always looking for game used bats from Andre Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Jody Davis, Shawon Dunston, Jerome Walton, Rick Sutcliffe, and Greg Maddux. Preferably CUBS era bats.

Re: Miguel Cabrera Batting Helmet
The last lefty to wear #24 for the Tigers was Warren Morris in 2003 according to Baseball Almanac.

Re: Miguel Cabrera Batting Helmet
I forwarded your concern to Marc Himelstein, the authentics manager for the Tigers.

Re: Miguel Cabrera Batting Helmet
Looks like someone is going spend $300+ for a Gary Pettis batting helmet.
Extremely disappointing from MLB Auctions.SCOTT

Re: Miguel Cabrera Batting Helmet
The Tigers didn't begin using that number style until around the late 90s, I believe. They used plain white numbers during the Pettis era. Howard Wolf owned dozens of Tigers helmets at one point and could verify this. Originally Posted by larry bourget

Re: Miguel Cabrera Batting Helmet
Ended at $370.
For a Gary Pettis or Karim Garcia or Warren Morris helmet.

Re: Miguel Cabrera Batting Helmet
scott,
That is very disappointing. While the mlb auctions are swift and usually trouble free, they are almost impossible to get in touch with to correct errors before time runs out like you just showed. I had an issue with an auction they ran a year or so ago...I wasn't bidding thankfully but they were selling a game used Thomas jersey that I had in MY possession LOL...I wrote them and said that I wasn't interested in selling it
Amazingly enough no one got back in touch with me until after the auction had ended and the email said that the listing i was concerned about had already ended and that they couldn't help me...to this day I wonder what the final result for that sale was. Oh well. Perhaps they provide some of the best provenance but at the same time leave something to be desired in the accountability department.
