post your July pick-ups

[mariner_gamers]

I was finally able to find some 2010 Mariners bats along with an old favorite of mine.





Figgy, 3 Sexon (2) from 2005 (1) from 2008, Hannahan, Moore and Merry Milton. All show proper player traits although 1 of the Sexson's is minus a taped handle and is a 2008 Rawlings. Richie used an awful lot of Old Hickory in 2008 and I was able to find a few Old Hick pics from 2008 without taped handles. Now if I can just find a pic of Richie using a non-taped Rawlings in 2008. I've also picked up a Jimmy Pres, Harold Reynolds, 2 AD's, 2 Dan Wilson and another Chris Woodward. I was too lazy to shoot the latter half. It has been a busy month/6 weeks.

Here is another intereting looking Mexican Winter League jersey. It is from 1978-1980 and looks like the number 5 on the back is made from Naugahyde upholstery material.

Here are a couple of Pirates caps used in spring training 1980. They were used by a player who didn't make the Pirates, but was sent to AAA for the year. They are in good shape for hats that old.

This is a game used Wilson first basemans mitt from 1977 or 1978. It was given to a minor league first baseman during spring training by Bob Watson of the Houston Astros. This glove was used for about 400 games after that, mostly in the minors. The name Watson is still readable on the back side of the glove. It was written in black ink and has barely survived.

Thought I was thinning out my collection a bit, but had a weekend that took it in the opposite direction...

The first two are absolutely huge pick ups to me. Niles Paul 2009 home jersey which was also used in the Holiday Bowl win. The second is projected first round draft pick Prince Amukamara 2007 away jersey. First time straying away from my Cincinnati Reds collecting.
