Re: January Pickups

Not so much 'Game Used', but a nice esoteric AUTO piece of the 'Jackie Robinson' of the American League - Larry Doby.

Apparently he spent some time a s a liaison for MLB with Former Players. Just picked up this letter with envelope (addressed to Dick Allen) and Doby's Business Card with MLB:





All the best -

Re: January Pickups

I forgot to add that the Kyle Okposo Warrior stick the he used against the Penguins was used to assist John Tavares' first game winning goal! Thought that was a pretty cool bit of info!

Nice Islanders stuff. Great match as well on Okposo stick.

Thank you very much, the top dark one is a Jason LaRue 9/11 helmet, and the all red one is a Scott Hatteberg. The rest are some minor league helmets of Jay Bruce and Drew Stubbs.

Re: January Pickups

djusticefan-Wow that's another great kyle okposo item.I wanted to send you a "pm" but you still have yours turned off.But yeah kyle is a great kid.My brother was great friends with another gopher player troy riddle.Troy played for them until 2004.And so since then me and my brother go to almost every game and stay after the games and get autographs and have got to know all the players.Plus every year they have a skating party and sign a team poster and other autographs.So i got to meet and know kyle okposo.And he has a freind who is a student trainer for the gophers who told me that kyle loved that the islanders got him out of there.And that he loves playing there.That stick is very nice and photomatched.Sure can not top that.Anyway ,tell your friend to tell kyle he still has fans here.By the way you are a lucky man to have a friend like that who can get you such great items.

I was able to get one more amazing stick yesterday, a photomatched Kyle Okposo warrior that he used on november 27th against the penguins!




Yeah Okposo is one of my favorite players, he's such a hard worker and a very nice guy. I work for the Islanders and I'm friends with the equiptment manager so I am able to get some things through him!

God, please don't let him leave after this season.....
Time to start the next teams shirts.....

Re: January Pickups

I'd like to thank the forum's own BTPH for my latest pickup. It's a Crolls of Alameda durene jersey most likely from the 1960's. Crolls was a semi-pro baseball team from my hometown.

BTPH found this jersey in vintage clothing store and went out of his way to purchase it for me. I'm grateful for forum members like him that are always willing to help a fellow collector. It is going to go nicely in our 2nd Annual Sports Exhibit!
