Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread
Really cool items Nate, do the Belinda and Appier have evidence of number removal on the front? The tagging looks good but in 94 on the blue alternates there were numbers on the fronts of the jerseys. Either way great looking jerseys, loved those blue alternates and the 94 patch on the sleeve too!

You are correct the 1994 KC Blue Alternative Jerseys did have the player's number on the front. See below - Wally Joyner 1994 Jersey

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread
A few Hosmer rookie items coming up....
Eric Hosmer 2011 game used autographed batting helmet (MLB authenticated)
I just picked up this rookie batting helmet. The Hos was called up in May of 2011 as a highly touted prospect and delivered with a promising rookie year. Here is a game used batting helmet from his rookie year. The autograph is MLB authenticated from spring training of 2013. Hosmer used this style of helmet only in the 2011 season. After researching the helmet it matches with pictures of Hosmer from later on in the season.
The helmet is a size 7 3/8. There is tar on the brim of the helmet and scratches/scuffing throughout. There is a glob of tar above the left ear that is also visible in pictures. There are also some light blue streaks and dots on the helmet that can be seen in various pictures in the 2nd half

A pair of
Eric Hosmer 2011 (rookie) game used cracked bats
Hosmer made his debut on 5/6/2011. On Mother's Day a few days later Hosmer used his pink "Momma Hos" bat to knock in his first RBI, I lost out on a bidding war for that one. Here are two of Hosmer's very early MLB bats. One was ordered on 5/9/2011 and the other on 5/19/2011. These are Marucci EH3 model bats. Both have "35" on the knob. Hosmer's first few bats had "EH" on the knob (maybe because he was in the minors and didn't know which ML # he would be assigned?). The one made on 5/9 is MLB authenticated and I was actually able to photomatch the exact swing where the bat broke against Jeremy Guthrie on 5/26/2011. Big thanks to Keith Allison for taking such great photos and posting them on flickr. The tar pattern matches up exactly. The tar on this bat is a lighter color than what is normally seen on Hosmer rookie bats.
The other bat made on 5/19/2011 is autographed. After the 2011 season Hosmer brought some bats back to Florida and I saw a few of these for sale then, this is one of them. This one has the darker mota stick/tar that Hosmer used for most of his rookie season.
Alot of Hosmer bats have a taped knob and more recently taped handles.

Where do you get such clear images?????? I have a Hosmer bat I'm so close to matching but just can't get a clear enough image.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread
I picked up this World Series base the other day. Although it's not game used, at 225 bucks, it is much cheaper than what the game used bases were being sold for at the WS for $3500.
The way I see it, this is Alpha-Omega of the season this year for the Royals!

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread
I'm thinking of buying the World Series Base from eBay. Is it the same kind of bases they use on the field?
