This is so cool

Re: This is so cool

Hey, does anybody remember "Frankenjersey"? (That's what I called it, anyway.) Some guy took a whole bunch of "game-used jersey" swatches off of cards and arranged them to look sort of like a jersey, if you can picture that, and put it on eBay. He wanted some ridiculous price for this monstrosity. To me, it answered the question, "What's more silly and wasteful than cutting up a GU jersey and putting tiny scraps of it on cards?" Why, taking those tiny scraps off the cards and gluing them down into the shape of a jersey, of course. I wonder if he ever sold it.

Speaking of high prices on homemade things on eBay, this is my favorite. A "masterpiece sculpture" made by the seller

If Picasso or even Andy Warhol had done it...maybe.

So all you have to do is call your item a masterpiece and then ad 6zeros to the end of the price. Nice! If I were an artistic I would copy that and list it at 100,000.

When we die do you think God will let us bring our collectibles with us? Will we care? Let people enjoy life and stop trying to suck the life out of everything. It's okay, it will be alright, the world will still spin, and if I die tomorrow none of this will matter. Be happy.

Right!? It isn't like they are taking Derek Jeter's 3000 hit bat or something. If someone wants to make a coat rack or a hand rail go for it it. I probably would have a fit if it was a historic artifact, but other than that who cares.

Not really sure if I would do something like this in my house though...it is sorta cheesy to me. I'm not going to come scream at you if you want it though haha.

Re: This is so cool

From the picture and the one I saw in person at the stadium, the main bats in the middle are stock bats (not gu) and the cut handles are gu. Not worth it IMO

Yeah, I said in my first post I did not like the price.
But I do like the looks of it.
Anyone could take stock bats and a cheap game used, or new even, base and make one.
The price is very high in my opinion.

Re: This is so cool

Agreed. That's almost as bad as stair handrails made out of game used bats. Defacing/destroying game used items just seems so lame. If they're store model bats, and just simple "game used" baseballs and bases with no significance of any kind, then I guess it's no big deal.

But I wouldn't have that Cheese Whiz in my house.

Re: This is so cool

Seriously?! Okay, I'll be the first curmudgeon to speak up and say, "What the Hell?" I don't care if it's a bat used by the first guy cut from Spring Training, it's a travesty/minor crime to make a damned coat rack (or a bench, or a pencil holder, or a keychain, OR A BASEBALL CARD) out of game-used items. Period, full stop, end of rant.

You obviously have very bad taste. And maybe an anger problem.

Re: This is so cool

Well considering it takes 6 bats, a ball, and a ball the price isn't that bad. Especially when you consider how expensive Yankees stuff is. If every piece was authenticated to specific games I would pay close to that assuming the bats were all from regulars and not scrubs.

Though hearing it isn't sturdy Ehh...

Re: This is so cool

Some of you can ruin anything I swear.
I didn't even notice the youth bat.

I don't care, it would still be awesome in a man cave.

Re: This is so cool

Kinda funny that the display picture has a "youth" bat as the primary feature. lol
