June Pick Ups

[allstarsplus]

Nick Markakis Game Used Bat photo matched to Jackie Robinson Day absolutely hammered with game use.

That ball mark on the back side of where the trademark is gives you a nice match and a lot more ball marks added after that. That gives the visualization of "in on the hands" of a batter!

Great pickup!!!

I'm confused ... I don't see the match. They look like different bats. Can we see better pics showing the match?

There is no definitive match given the 1 picture. Needs some more work. That back of the trademark blue ball mark gives you a good start.

Let me see what I can do about that. There is a definite match when you see the bat in person and in addition to one or two other pics from Getty from that game. I will see if I can bust out he camera and get you good photos.

I look forward to seeing them.

2002 Keith Adams Berlin Thunder Jersey

[schubert1970]

I won the Pete Rose 1978 Tour of Japan Uniform. I came close to not bidding on this because I wasn’t sure about the jersey tag.

The COA comes from Sports Investments Inc. These are the same people I bought the Rose gambling check from. The really are authorities when it comes to anything Reds. I gave them a call and they gave me some great background information about the jersey and they also let me know they didn't consign this uniform to Lelands. If you ever need to know anything about Reds memorabilia call these guys. I spoke with Adam Wolter and he's a wealth of information. Their father bought the ball and bat from Rose that broke Cobb's record and various other unique items.

Also, I was searching the forum because I wanted to learn more about the tagging issues with the Reds jerseys. Below was a extremely helpful post from Rudy a few years ago. THANK YOU RUDY!!!!! After reading the post below I finally made up my mind to bid on this lot.

Although it's not a MLB game used, it's has to be one of the most unique Rose jersey's.

I've also attached a few more pics from some 1978 programs I purchased about the tour. Who knows, might even be able to photo match this thing.

Can anyone post a famous pic of Oh and some of the Reds players from one of the exhibition games?

Cincinnati Reds Uniforms from the 1980s

In response to an e-mail question about Cincinnati Reds uniforms from the 1980s, I offered this response.

"The Reds continued wearing Wilson road uniforms, something that began in 1968, throughout the decade of the 1980s. The only exception to this are the road uniforms worn in 1978 during the Tour of Japan. These were made by Rawlings as Rawlings was a sponsor of the tour. These road Tour of Japan uniforms feature a “R” on the exterior of the pants as well.

The home uniforms during the 1980s were manufactured by Rawlings, with the exception of 1985 and 1986. The 1985 and 1986 home uniforms were supplied by Goodman and Sons, and unlike their Wilson and Rawlings counterparts, are without any year or set identification. The Reds began wearing Rawlings uniforms in 1968, switching away from long time supplier MacGregor."

Here's my June Pickup. I got this one in early June and am just getting around to posting this up. Per BMH this is a pro quality game model (not pro model) Albert Pujols bat. This bat was NOT issued to Pujols, but was ordered by a LVS rep and given to a Sam Suplizio most likely as a gift. It is 34 inches in length and is fresh! As close as you can get to an actually issued bat of Pujols!

I have had my eye on this jersey for a while now and finally have it in my collection. Want to thank Rob Steinmetz of authenticgamers.com for working with me, class act!
