Re: October 2017 Pickups

I bought one of the Onyx Authenticated Lumber 2017 bats and got a very cool Shed Long gamer (uncracked and signed)....I didn't know much about him but pursuant to a little research he looks like a good young prospect of the Reds.
I'll endeavor to post pics when I get home.

Re: October 2017 Pickups

There are 9 in the PSA database for this variation, have seen some with condition issues like flaking on the barrel and other finish related issues.

Great bat Ben. I wasn't aware PSA population reports existed for GU bats, where would one go to find this information? I don't see a link on the PSA site in the pop report area.

Thx

Ben:

That is one amazing (and reasonably early) Clemente bat. Great pick-up!

1959 Roberto "Momen" Clemente bat:

This "Momen" bat is specific to '59 with heavy barrel use, nice 21 on the knob, got a 10. It was at one time paired with a '59 flannel of his and shown in the Smithsonian Baseball Collection's book in one of the collections that was highlighted there.
The early Momen bats are not nearly as common as the later, post-'60 bats of his. There are 9 in the PSA database for this variation, have seen some with condition issues like flaking on the barrel and other finish related issues.

Well done Ben!!! Amazing pickup!

Used seatback (seat #8) from the Metrodome that I had Cal Ripken sign for me with unique inscriptions

HOLY. GRAIL. George Sosnak fully painted baseball with Mickey Mantle's signature on the sweet spot.

Re: October 2017 Pickups

Beautiful Clemente, Ben!
Absolutely gorgeous! (Wish PSA would find a better way than putting stickers on historical, museum pieces).

I agree...
It is an option actually to have the sticker placed on the letter.

Great bat Ben. I wasn't aware PSA population reports existed for GU bats, where would one go to find this information? I don't see a link on the PSA site in the pop report area.

I had actually inquired on this, got the pop report
