July 2016 pickups

[TigersCubs84]

Guess I'll start it off with a few bats I've taken in recently..Danry Vasquez is a minor leaguer in Detroit's system. Picked it up at a minor league game. Always wanted a Pudge, and I just like Baez because he doesn't get cheated. Dude gets his cuts in (too much so).

2011 World Series photo matched bat

Included in a large lot of bats I just acquired is a Nick Punto that I've photo matched to Game 2 of the 2011 NLCS and Game 6 of the 2011 World Series.

2011 and 2006 Cardinals bats

Filled some of the remaining gaps in my 2006 and 2011 Cardinals team sets. Acquired a 2011 Andrew Brown, the last position player for whom I didn't have a bat. It's unused, but I'll take it. Also got 2011 bats from SP Kyle McClellan and reliever P. J. Walters, who had no plate appearances and is a very tough get. Finally, I acquired a 2006 Anthony Reyes, the last SP I needed from that team.

Very nice. Those are nearly impossible to find, congrats.... The hunt on those must have been difficult!

Re: July 2016 pickups

Haven't posted in a while, but I've picked up the following jerseys over the past couple of months. Call me crazy, but I'm still trying to keep up with all the special event jerseys. I still need a Cardinals 4th of July jersey and they will soon be wearing TBTC jerseys from 1956 (July 23) and 1927 (August 27).

Kolten Wong 1984 TBTC (2016)
Trevor Rosenthal Memorial Day (2016)
Kevin Siegrist Mother's Day Cap and Jersey (2016)
Jedd Gyorko Father's Day Jersey (2016)
Austin Gomber Spring Training (2016)
Curt Ford (1987 World Series)
Joe Torre (1992)

Re: July 2016 pickups

Congrats on another nice pickup Sean! That Ruth bat is really neat.. I like the mystery aspect of the non LVS bats from that era....if photos ever surface linking Ruth to the brand, watch out! Certainly seems to match the size you would hope to see!

Thanks. I figure Mears and PSA recognize this model as a Professional model bat (the store model Ruth Hanna bat was model #5, this bat is model 12) and its certainly much more reasonable than a LS. Would be great if they could find a photo of Ruth with a Batrite bat like they did with Gehrig recently.
