Maybe you guys don't want to give away secrets. I'm new to collecting game used items and wondering how do you guys get some of these items. I know there's ebay and steiner but there most be other outlets you use. If you mind helping out its great if not its understandable.

Eric - in addition to TNT's list (which is very good), I would add that MeiGray is terrific for hockey and basketball. Upper Deck gets good items here and there, too (though not as much in game used as some other places). Ball Park Heroes is also excellent. The best thing you can do is be a part of GUU and get to know folks ... especially the members who have collecting interests that are similar to yours. I am periodically offered terrific items by GUU members who know me and understand the items I'm pursuing.

I appreciate the help very much. I'm huge nick swisher fan so I'm looking for any his items. Also a yankee collector. I'm actually getting married in a few days and having a Yankee theme wedding on the 10 of april followed b opening day three days later. I'm excited and I will have my few items already owned at. Wedding and hope to get a few more

Surprised nobody thought of adding this (myself included)... whereas some teams have a marketing company for their game used (i.e. Steiner markets for the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and L.A. Dodgers, etc.), a great number of teams sell their own game used equipment either through a distribution arm or on their own websites. Teams like the Mets and Tigers have a game used / authentics manager who interface directly with the public on the sale of game used items. It is also useful to find out if your team(s) sell to the public directly and get yourself on their distribution lists.
