Official KRIS BRYANT Game-Used Collection Thread

[MTC]

I'm a little surprised there isn't a thread already for the #1 prospect in baseball. He's had a pretty good start to his MLB career and I figured people must be collecting some items from his first few games.

Does anybody have anything collectibles yet?

And what are the prices going to look like out of the gates?

Discuss....and/or show-off your items.

Also worth noting, MLB Auctions has a Kris Bryant "Call Up" auction currently running this week.

Is this the first time we have seen MLB authenticating items from minor league games?

I own his 4th career walk ball. Pretty sure the ball was used the whole at bat, even being thrown to second on a rizzo stolen base but the video doesn't show if they changed balls after the stolen base but I'm pretty sure they didn't change it.

No. I have a ball authenticated from the Isotopes inaugural season with a commemorative logo. They also authenticated some Arizona Fall League balls and equipment early this year. It might be the first time it's been done uniquely for a player.

We sold Bryce Harper MLB Authenticated AZ League balls in 2013

BTW, we are anxiously awaiting our first consignment of game used bats and jerseys of Kris Bryant......WHO WILL BE THE FIRST?

Kris Bryant's game hit/used #5 Home Run ball vs. Padres on May 21st. Russell, who works for MLB authentication in SD, and a fellow GUU member, rounded this one up for me.

Was the ball authenticated? Unfortunately, if not, it would be more of a keepsake than a collectible.

Teddy, I am not a huge collector of game used baseballs but your Krush Bryant baseball makes me very jealous. Great pickup!

I meant MLB authentication as in the form of a hologram that can be viewed on the MLB.com database? Not just a paper or word of mouth authentication.
