My Evan Longoria Collection

[jwal23]

Have only been collecting game used items for the past 2 years (spent years building up my Longo card collection before ultimately selling it off to pay for wedding expenses and medical bills) and although it doesn't hold a candle to some of the collections I've seen out there I'm very happy with what I have so far and can't wait to see what I'll be able to add in the future. I'm not wealthy by any means so everything that I have I work hard for and I truly appreciate every piece that I'm able to obtain...This is currently what I have after I've had to sale a few items off for unexpected expenses that have popped up including selling my 2012 Longo JRD jersey and a 2010 Home white that I owned as well..

That baseball is cool especially since you were at that game. Do you still have the ticket stub from the game?

Yep, I keep at least one ticket stub from every game I go to...

Re: My Evan Longoria Collection

As I posted on the "july pick-ups" thread, here is the jersey I've literally been waiting all season for...According to the Rays it's the first authenticated Dark Blue alternate that they have authenticated for Longoria all season long...it's authenticated to the game against the twins on july 11th when he hit his 18th HR of the year and the 148th of his career

Re: My Evan Longoria Collection

Also wanted to add this one as well, it's also located in the "homerun bats" thread...Thanks to Rich for the photomatches, hopefully I can send some more pics again shortly...here is my 2011 Evan Longoria Gamer that was one of those few bats that had a hologram on it but was still being used...From what I understand Evan has some if not all of his HR bats authenticated and still uses some of them, this explains why the hologram on the knob of the bat can not be read, barely anything is visible on it...this is the photomatch from July 6th, 2011 vs. the Twins (at target field) when he hit his 11th HR of the year and 93rd of his career

Re: My Evan Longoria Collection

A few more recent pick ups...the first is from the 2007 MLB Futures Game where Longo was HBP...
The 2nd ball was a single from 2012 against Scott Diamond at Minnesota

Re: My Evan Longoria Collection

As mentioned in the "September pick ups" thread I'm very excited about another one of my latest pickups...2006 game used Evan Longoria #37 Montgomery Biscuits jersey. He wore this jersey at the end of the 2006 season after being promoted from Hudson Valley, then to Visalia and then onto Montgomery in his first season in pro ball...the following season he switched to #6

Re: My Evan Longoria Collection

Another addition to the "hit" collection...Here is Longo's RBI double off of ryan dempster in the september 11th matchup a few weeks ago against the Red Sox...It was his 794th career hit (142nd of the year), 195th career double (34th of the year) and career RBI 530 (74th of the year)
