    Re: Anyone ever "receive an offer" from a player for their G/U equipment?

    I think some player's either have no clue or play dumb on game used stuff. With checks they are cashing, I'm always amazed when they try to get stuff for next to nothing.

    rose14.....let us know how it goes with Vlad. It seems he knows the market on stuff. Seems he has friends or something that move stuff of his on ebay. IE his pink bat was already on the market from 2007. I'd want his game used jersey in return (really would ask for sweet new red alternate) and a nice used bat.

    Hello everyone, first time poster here.

    I am a huge Eric Davis collector. During the past year I have been given the chance to meet him on several occassions. I have his Orioles batting helmet and had him sign it. When I handed it to him, he perked up and examined the helmet closely then asked where I got it. He told me it was the helmet he wore when he came back from cancer. He said he had actually tried to find it. He signed it then asked if I ever decided to sell to let him know. I don't know how he knew it was that very helmet, but he was very interested in it. He has signed my game worn jersey's and a game worn hat since then. He gave me tips on certain things to look for in determining if it was really his gear and spoke of the many fakes out there. The good news is, every piece I have showed him has passed his inspections! Interestingly enough, Eric himself is a collector of game worn NBA jersey's.

    Re: Anyone ever "receive an offer" from a player for their G/U equipment?

    Last year I traded Ed Hearn's wife the jersey that he wore on the field for the 86 Mets reunion ceremony which I had won in the MLB auction for the unworn jersey the Mets sent him home with.

    A couple of years ago when I showed Gary Carter and his agent Mead Chasky a photo of the 4 milestone bats I own, Mead game me his card because he wanted to see if I'd like sell them back to him. I offered to trade a game used jersey for one of the bats but he declined.
