Re: Show off your player collections

I posted this in the May pick-ups thread as well...

Just got this jersey in the mail today! This is quite possibly a corner stone in my Frank Thomas collection. In Thomas's 18 year MLB career he hit 3 HRs in one game only twice in his career, once in 1996 and again in 2007. Ironically, 5 of those 6 home runs came off of knuckleballer Tim Wakefield! Who knows where the 96 jersey is and if it is even associated to that 3 HR game. This 2007 jersey is MLB authenticated to Sept 17th when Thomas hit 3 HRs (510, 511, and 512) in one game. I've had this jersey on my radar for years now, but never pulled the trigger. This jersey was purchased directly from the Blue Jays and arguably represents one of the last high points in Thomas's great career in his final full season of professional baseball. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Where did you acquire?

Where did you acquire?

Bob,

I bought this guy direct from the Jays. This is the 5th GU Thomas Jersey that I've purchased from them (all Set 1 or 2 and showing use) and from his tenure as a member of the Blue Jays. I hadn't purchased any GU Thomas items that could've been linked to a home run in the 500's...this satisfies my want and need. I was really excited to share it with you all!

Wade:

Just was wondering if anything came from Steve. I knew he was moving some stuff. This Jays stuff is awesome. I live in MI 3 hours from Toronto. Always loved the earlier logos and jerseys.

Always a pleasure looking at your collection. Thanks so much for sharing!

Sweet Henderson jerseys!

Re: Show off your player collections

Awesome Henderson jerseys! Especially like the '93 gamer. He probably wore that one in Game 6 and was on base when Carter hit the big HR.

Great collection! Shouldn't there be a Harry Kalas memorial patch on the 2009 jersey (was it removed by the club?)?

Thanks, been working very hard to assemble what I have today. This jersey is void of the HK patch as it was worn before he passed. Harry left us on the 13th of April - Jersey is from the 7th of April.
