Post Your Photo-matched Game-used Items Here

Here's one of my favorite items in my collection, a 2005 Home Run derby bat used by David Ortiz. Ortiz hit a total of 20 Home runs with this LVS B9 bat. You can see the pine tar stains from his gloves just above the B9 logo, also there's a photo of Ortiz sitting in the dugout and the wood grain and pine tar match up perfect. The right barrel area of this bat is just pounded with deep ball seam marks.

Great job. There are some awesome matches on here. I have a question. I have a '95 World Series jersey from Jim Thome. I have been looking for pics. But have turn up nothing from that year. Any ideas where I may look ??Thanks,Roger

With the info on $5 photo getty seller, let's see some more matches. My favorite thread in this forum is this one. So I will bring it back up with a photo-matched hockey helmet. The pictures I took really don't do the photo itself justice. The glare kinda distorts some of the marks. I can't photo a photo very well. But in person with the photo it really shows some perfect matches. I did a close up on the CCM marking, easy to see the scrach in the logo and some scuffing, but it is much better than the picture I took.....

I bought the helmet from Meigray during there summer sale. There is some specs of dust from photo holder that show up here and some other tiny scratches in the white that match but don't show up in my picture. Does it look like a match to you guys?

Indyred, thanks for sharing those. Looks like a nice match to me, given the mark through the middle "C" and the varying degrees of thinkness of the "C" stickers.

Indyred,
I think you did a great job on the photomatch. The bigger gouge above the cm matches perfectly. As you told me when I made my first match, it is as good as getting the piece itself! Did you match the helmet before you ordered the picture or did it come and then you matched it up? I would assume helmets would be easier to match if you have the year correct since players only use one in a season unless it gets cracked. Thanks for sharing and congrats!
