Astros team store question

[Sincityson]

Has anyone been able to contact Mike lately via email?

Mike is cool in my book. Rock on.

Prices are still pretty high on some players. Le bat was I think $175 which is good. Berkman and Pence were $499 and Bourn was $200-250. Blum was $75. Hats were around $150-300 depending on the player. They did have some jerseys around $400-700. I got a Pence batting practice hat for $85 weeks ago. I was happy considering a game used one was around $250.

No never. Biggio kept most of his stuff.

No, Authentics has very few Biggio items and they are all kept in the Archives. I am only aware of one Biggio bat being MLB authenticated, and that is the one in Cooperstown, his 3000th Hit bat.



Notice the MLB Hologram directly above the M9 logo in centerbrand.

I have personally seen a few MLB authenticated Biggio jerseys from 2007. According to MLB Authenticated database, Biggio wore multiple Red Alternate jerseys during his last game on September 30, 2007. I know the Astros have at least one of those.

For instance Biggio, if he kept most of his stuff, how did items of his make it onto the market? I know there are items out there. I have seen your pics as well as other people on here and online selling them.

Just wondering how game used items make it to the market where we the collectors are able to purchase them without authentications from mlb or steiner? Do the give out an alloted amount? Are some items just thrown to the side and given away by people in the clubhouse? I am just curious, not just for Biggio but for any player.

Any ideas? Thanks.
