Picked up this 1975 game used Bob Gibson jersey at the last Heritage Auction and was able to photomatch it to his very last game.

Re: December Pickups
Awesome jersey...I've seen more game used jerseys of his from his briefer coaching stints with the Mets and Braves than I have from his 17 years as the ace of the Cards' mound staff. You truly have a gem there.

Re: December Pickups
Teddy406, I like the cowboys and Lions, but I always watched those Oiler teams. I liked Elvin bethea, Curly Culp, and Billy White Shoes. Plus Bum Phillips was must see TV for me back then.Comment

Re: December Pickups
Nice pickup - I'm reading the book, The Machine, on the Reds '75 season again and just read the portion on the last career appearances of Gibson during that summer.Comment

Re: December Pickups
2015 Charlie Blackmon Home jersey. Lots of wear, game wear and washings, almost no silver left in the Rockies workdmark. He is my sons fav player and this jersey is for him. To say he's obsessed would be an understatement. That pic was taken right before he told Chuck that he was going to be him for Halloween, classic stuff!Always looking for Noah Syndergaard, Charlie Blackmon, Jordan Pacheco & Kenneth Faried items, thx!Comment

Re: December Pickups
1955 Roy Campanella bat:
(MVP Year/World Championship Year)
Campy bat from the famous '55 season, the only Brooklyn Dodger title year for the Boys of Summer, also an MVP Season for him. Campanella hit .318 with 32 Home Runs and knocked in 107, his third of three MVP Seasons for Brooklyn in the 50s, and was the heart and soul of those teams.
Campanella bats seem to be one of the toughest to get from the era, especially nice overall ones.
The bat has very heavy use, with a couple of key player traits - good application of pine tar on the lower handle and tons of cleat marks around the whole barrel. Plus the stampings came out nice and clear and it has a great patina to it.
