Re: April 2013 Pickups

Johnny Bench '73-'75 B278C model bat:

-Great use on the barrel, nice and distinct seam marks and shoe scuffs with a very heavy coat of pine tar up the handle. It came thru a former Cardinals bat boy source. And a big thank you to my friend that was able to then get a terrific signature and inscription to round it out.

2012 Derek Jeter Batting road practice jersey and Road pants...both game issued. The Pants show a little use, not very much in the jersey. Very happy to have something of the Captain.

Re: April 2013 Pickups

Added 2 more items to my Kurt Suzuki collection. A pair of game used cleats & a chest protector from his time with the Midland Rockhounds.

Re: April 2013 Pickups

They can't all come from winning or particularly memorable games, but it sure is nice when they do. A few hours after Jay Bruce's walk-off single won (1-0) the rain postponed which began the prior evening (4-16-13), Jay Bruce provided career RBIs 383 and 384 with hit # 634. Jay ended the unique day for the Phillies starter. I watched closely as the ball itself remained in play through the pitching change. Although I was liking the Reds hits during the 5-run 2nd, I was pretty happy to see Todd Frazier foul this ball back to the screen so it would be authenticated. The 2nd game completed on the day (from which this Bruce 2-RBI ball came) resulted in an 11-2 Reds victory and series sweep.

I primarily collect Jay Bruce and Joey Votto.... other Reds and Bengals stuff often interests me too. Please let me know what you have that may be available for sale: plettner at fuse.net. For those who (like myself) collect Reds items you can buy from the Reds direct by reaching jcline@reds.com.

Re: April 2013 Pickups

Got them a while ago. Will post pics soon.

Pair of used/signed Robinson Cano cleats. Look to be ones he was asked to try out. Not actually game worn. Light use. Pretty sweet though.

Pair of nicely game used Derek Jeter cleats.

Both with LOA from Celebzdirect and signed letter from Andruw Jones stating they came from his collection (given to him by Cano/Jeter).

Re: April 2013 Pickups

Forgot - also a pair of road blue Jeter batting gloves.
Both the jeter cleats and gloves are legit and show nice use (and I didn't have to pay Steiner prices!!!!LOL).

Re: April 2013 Pickups

So, I've seen these "thrift store" finds and thought to myself.. "how could this ever happen" and then today, it sort of happened to me. I was in a flea marketish type store and there was a dealer space with your typical jerseys and as I was walking by I noticed that the arms on one were different... much to my surprise I found this bad boy for an incredible price...






The numbers show a little use as it was only used in preseason.

He ended up playing in the CFL and winning two Grey Cups. He went to college at Syracuse.

Re: April 2013 Pickups

That's quite the jersey. I hope to find a game jersey one day.
