What is your favorite game used item?

Geoff,
I'm glad you like the Hanley helmet that much. I hated to let it go. I'm glad to see you still have it. At the time it was one of the nicest items I owned but it didn't fit in the direction I wanted my collection to go. As I'm sure you all know.....you can't collect everything. It gets to the point where in order to buy new items you have to thin out the herd and sell some older items.
As far as my favorite items go they would have to be my 4 game used Jonathan Papelbon gloves. His first glove from his first ever glove contract with Rawlings in 2004, his first Boston game used glove from 2005 and both gloves he used in Boston ....as well as the All Star Game in 2006.

Thanks
Scott

My two favorite items are my game used 1976 Johnny Bench bat. And, my 1985 game used Pete Rose Mizuno bat. Bot have great use. Bench was the World Series MVP that season and, of course, Pete broke the hits record in 1985.

Check that bad boy for cork.

I heard he was corkin' in 85. How would you check for that?

[CansecoPower33]

I'd imagine the barrel would sound different if you knocked it. It should make a more hallowed out sound. Look for any signs of a sealed opening on the top of the bat. Seriously though, I doubt Rose would let a corked bat out of his sight long enough to slip into a collection.

I believe they cut one up a year or two ago at some auction house. It was a Mizuno bat, heavily taped. No cork to be found.

My favorite game used item is my ALbert Pujols game used signed single-a allstar jersey. It is from the midwest league allstar game and I love it.

An Early Wynn GU Bat and the ball he used to pitch his 2000th strikeout. If anyone sees any of his GU Win BB, please let me know. (Yes, that's Wynn's wins I'm looking for!)
