Hey Bert - NICE BAT!

I was at one point considering starting a collection of Albert's bats that had been used by other players (and someday I will probably do it)...

Maybe even add a wing for bats from other players that Albert used.

Really a neat item.

Re: June Pickups

I got them because Jose threw them into the stands. I had to add the watermark after the ebay situation. Not planning on selling them, actually now planning on maybe collecting some Jose Reyes stuff.

Re: June Pickups

I received this really nice select maple Endy Chavez Expos bat, an autograped Ron Swoboda card, and 4 unused tickets to the Expos last game at Shea in 2004 as a gift from GUU member Swoboda4.

This is the first select maple bat I ever owned and is a keeper!

Thank you again Robert!!

I actually got this helmet and a pair of gold football pants in April but was not able to track down what team may have wore these items until I received this email today:

Jim here is the answer I got: The helmet pictures indicate it is from the Bill Glassford era, and gold pants were worn in that era, also. I can't say for sure if these pix prove 1953, but it's a good guess. Glassford was here from 1949 through 1955. Johnny Bordogna or Andy Lohr (Lincoln guys) might be able to pin it down from their playing days. Best I can do.

That is an awesome helmet Jim. You do not say what team, but I am assuming it is Nebraska. The helmet looks orange in the photos. I bought a similar RT helmet a couple years ago. No idea what team it is. It is a darker gold with a Kelly green center stripe. It has the same numbers on the rear of the helmet which were factory applied at Riddell. Beautiful helmets.

I think Reyes threw them into the stands.

Thanks Joe.

The Rolen bat was not advertised as having a chunk of the handle missing. I repaired the handle anyway, and was pleased that it was at least a clean break. The tar is still sticky, and I have cats - so that was a pain.

Albert made up for it.
