Victus AXE handle bat used by Lonnie Chisenhall to hit a pinch hit grand slam against the Detroit Tigers on 04/14/17. Bat was broken in the bottom of the 1st inning the very next day, and was authenticated by MLB at that time. Photomatched to paint wear and factory drill mark on the knob, as well as various barrel marks.

Got a great photomatch of the 2011 David Ortiz bat I just picked up. Been looking for an all black Marucci of his for awhile. Happy to add this one. NOT FOR SALE.

I already made a post about this one, but I was finally able to find a couple more photos. I believe I have another match to some pine tar on the barrel.

Also, taking photos of pine tar on a black bat is a real pain.

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

Added this to my collection not too long ago, Tommy Casanova's game used LSU helmet. Vintage LSU game used items, especially one of a significant player, are extremely difficult to find. It took me three months to acquire it. It was sitting on the shelf in a small restaurant in a small town. I frequented it and talked to the owners enough about it which eventually lead to me acquiring it from them. It was once owned by LSU's Heisman Trophy Winner Billy Cannon who had acquired it decades ago either from the LSU athletic dept while Casanova was playing at LSU, or from Casanova himself while he was playing at LSU. Cannon gave it to the restaurant owners as he had been to their restaurant and became friends with the owners and wanted them to have it on display with their other memorabilia.

It is sadly missing its face mask, which I have decided not to replace with a replica. The helmets rarity though makes this an afterthought. The padding has become detached as the glue had dried up, however it is present with the helmet and I would like to have it professionally reattached. Any help with who is reputable would be appreciated.

After I acquired it, I set out on a quest to attempt to photo-match it, however I knew my chances would be slim as the videos of games are not of good quality, and there are only so many photos to be found. I started searching the internet in every conceivable location, and then began looking through my collection of programs, media guides and wire photos. Then I found my helmet in an article about the equipment staff's preparation for away games in a 1971 LSU vs Florida program. It is a perfect match. I honestly couldn't believe that I was able to photo match it.

Great find and match with the LSU-helmet. Looking thru old pictures is a lot of fun, but nothing compared to finally matching an item you thought was almost impossible.

What do you use to photo match? I have tried Getty but you cannot zoom much before it is blurry.

Here are a few more of our recent photomatches at Goldin Auctions for you photomatch fans! On the Goldin Auctions website, search "Resolution" to see all items we photomatched.

Probably my favorite photomatch from the auction, a Robert Parish jersey that came to us as being used sometime in the early-mid 1980's, and we were able to photomatch to the 1985 NBA Finals! Definitely requires some zooming-in to see all the match points. See the Letter of Photomatch on the auction listing for some more details on how we pinpointed the dates and what went into the photomatch.
