Re: April 2015 Pickups

Seanbaseball, is that Rip Collins signature on the bat the original paint or ink or whatever they used? Man, that sig really stands out. For something that old, it looks great.

2014 Giancarlo Stanton game used cleats.
There's an excellent chance these were worn during a 2 home run game against the Dodgers on May 4, but I need to research it more now that I have them in hand.

Haha! I actually have the bat he used to hit those two home runs

And the jersey worn during that game was sold in last October's Goldin Auction. Maybe a forum member bought it.

Picked up this Chandler Cespedes bat at the Sox game last night. MLB Hologram says it was used August 17th 2014 vs the Astros. Cespedes went 1 for 4 so I'll have to do some research to find out when/how he broke it. Really like the neon grip and the excessive pine tar.

Was that on the rack inside or did you have to ask the guy if he had any? Dont remember seeing a cespedes when i went monday. So wondering whether they ever put out good bats or if people have to ask. Thanks

Yes this was on the rack. There were a few Ortiz and Pedroia unused game models, a Jonathan Herrera, Johnny Gomes, game used, amongst a few others I can't remember. Christian Vazquez maybe? Also snagged a Jose Iglesias BP jersey, authenticated as issued but clearly worn.

Re: April 2015 Pickups

For Banderson 42, nice Cespedes. I really like the neon grips as well. Those are starting to become very popular throughout the leagues.

Re: April 2015 Pickups

Figured I might as well post my other pickups since its been a decent month for me(thanks to winning the March Madness pool at work!)...

Finally found a road alternate with Pesky & Fenway Patches!




Picked up this Jose Iglesias BP jersey Friday night with the Cespedes bat. Team Store tag says 2012, MLB database says "Postseason Items" from Dec. 2013...




And finally a Chris Capuano #42 from Jackie Robinson Day last year. Autographed as well.

Nice F. Thomas bat. Loved watching him play

Re: April 2015 Pickups

Picked up a Joe Stripp bat sidewritten by Leo Durocher 1930. In 1930 both were on the Reds. Thanks to a GUU member for this find and nice addition to my Gas House Gang collection.
