That gordon bat is beautiful! Congrats on the match. It was perfect before that, now its even better.

Re: Post Your Photo-matched Game-used Items Here

Thanks for the compliment. I picked it up in a charity auction from the Omaha Royals on ebay last month (link). The MLB hologram number isn't in the database yet. So I typed in some hologram numbers above and below it. The above numbers were from July 26th and the below numbers were from July 24th. Did some searching for images from that time and found some pictures from the 24th and 25th, even images of him breaking the bat. When the bat arrived I was happy to see all of the ball marks as they weren't in the ebay listing.

Looks like you got the bat for a fair price! Also cant beat money going to charity. The bat pictures you have look much nicer than the ones in the auction. I would say you found yourself a very nice bat.

I came across some game footage on YouTube for Ed Hearn and got these stills. I have his 86 road jersey and want to know if this is a photo match?

Appreciate any opinions once again.

Thanks

Re: Post Your Photo-matched Game-used Items Here

I would say that the upper left (in respect to the jersey) corner of the "M" is higher up relative to the neck on your jersey than in the picture. In other words I think there is more space between neck line and "mets" in the picture than is present on your jersey. I could be wrong just my opinion.

Re: Post Your Photo-matched Game-used Items Here

The orange out line of the letter and numbers don't show up too well in the stills. This also gives the illusion that the end of the "t' crossing is farther away from the top of the "s" in Mets too.

It was hard to get a non-fuzzy still from the video unfortunately.

Thanks for the input Michael.

Re: Post Your Photo-matched Game-used Items Here

This by far has got to be the most best-looking photomatch ever. I just got in a DVD of Game 5 of the 2000 World Series, with Kurt Abbott using the bat that I've had in my collection for about a year now. I have another post in this thread of this bat with more photomatched pictures of Derek Jeter picking up this bat after Abbott shattered it. Well.....here's video of the whole thing. This is amazing!

Also during the at-bat, I was able to photomatch the blue ink-transfer that is above the MLB logo on the barrel of the bat, plus I could see more photomatches when the bat was rolling on the ground towards Jeter in the slow-motion replay. I can see all the other ink-transfers with it. Absolutely perfect matches

Waited in line at the Royals Fan Fest on Friday night and was one of the first to get in. Headed straight for the game used store and immediately snagged a Billy Butler bat. I noticed it was autographed but I did not notice the MLB hologram. Purchased the bat, came home, looked up the hologram number and it was a broken bat by Billy on July 21, 2007. Browsed the Getty Images stock of Butler from that night. One of the pictures is dead on, but the other pics from that night show the same bat. Enjoy.

I have found a second photomatch for my Eli Marrero Opening Day 2006 jersey. I have this same pic of him breaking his bat from a front angle, and now I have the same shot from a back angle:

Shirkr,

Nice bat. I had the jersey he was wearing that game too, but I sold it for like $300. It's out there...somewhere....

I photomatched my Emil Brown game used bat to August 28th, 2007. After he broke his bat, they showed a close-up of the bat on TV, and the marks match up perfectly!












Click on the picture below to view video of Brown breaking the bat:





Also I may have another match here from August 26th....the number on the knob and the TPX/MLB logo match up perfectly:

Outstanding match on the Emil Brown bat. The video clip is cool to have with it.

yea that's ofcoarse my favorite kind of matches.....video matches. This is the reason why I ALWAYS look at the MLB holo number before buying. You never know what you may find when it comes to photomatches
