    Been picking up some items over the last couple months. First though, here are two balls that were thrown to me at the Pirates-Twins game in Minneapolis last year. Night game ball was thrown to me after the final out in the 8th by Corey Dickerson

Size:  51.0 KBI got the screen shot off MLB.TV, that was him jogging in and tossing what is now my ball before he threw it to me!

    Next day, Josh Bell (right after I saw his Mom and Dad in the stand and said hello) threw me the last ball of BP. Before that, NEVER got a MLB ball at a game in 40 years of going to games. To get them from my hometown favorite team, well it meant the world to me.

    Great looking batting helmet. Players go thru a bunch of bats and game used jerseys in a year but the number of batting helmets in a season is limited and that's why they're one of my favorite items to pick up....Nice job!!!

    Thanks for the compliments, jojac!

    I agree, I have a full size curio filled with batting helmets. Half game worn, half retail signed. I think visually helmets display the nicest as well. As far as even return on investment, I have always got more out of worn helmets that jerseys, bats, caps or cleats.

    I also feel matching a helmet is so much easier as they have more use as you stated and thus, more distinctive markings as well.

    I will say my only beef with MLB used helmets is some of the 3M decals start to peel, which has actually made me sell off some lids I would of normally kept.

    Been awhile, added a couple more Pirates items, also saw a great game at PNC from the Hyundai Club before the All Star break and the seasonal Hurdle led collapse.

    All Star Josh Bell GU Rookie Memorial Day jersey. Even though washed, still some nicely embedded dirt stains on here!
