December Pick-ups

Re: December Pick-ups

Just came back from another semester's worth of college, and I had these waiting for me:


Craig Biggio 666th Double game, which put him into 5th place on the all time Doubles List


Biggio ball with Jose Cruz, Jr. locker tag from the 2006 WBC

It feels like Christmas all over again, with all these goodies awaiting me!

Re: December Pick-ups

Dcgreg25 I'm super jealous of that pull. I had planned on buying a few of those from scott, i was just trying to get the money together, I really wanted the laffey, sowers, fransico, crowe, and martinez. I have the red alternate Hafner, and the road gray Andy Gonzalez. If you are ever interseted in getting rid of those throw me an e-mail. I will be meeting Francisco and Laffey in January at the indians caravan in Erie, I would love to have those by then, but if you plan on keeping them, if you are intersted in getting them signed I could do that for you too, maybe in exchange for a descent price on one of the others. Anyway let me know and congratulations on those sweet pulls.

Freudian slip, eh?

Re: December Pick-ups

Great patina on this Red Desautels bat, circa 30-31, which makes it a rookie-era bat. I love the look of vintage bats!

Re: December Pick-ups

Just picked up this 2006 Andre Carter Redskins jersey from JO Sports Inc. It was worn on 11/5/06 vs the Cowboys. It is the first unwashed game used jersey that I have purchased and it was better then advertised in my opinion. The jersey has dirt and grass stains and has a huge sweat stain on the front that still has Carter's funk coming off of it even after 2 years. Although I'm still not sure if that is good or bad

look at andre carters right arm....looks like a hand crafted wrestling toy

Re: December Pick-ups

I was fortunate enough to pick up a dozen game used Buffalo Bisons jerseys used in all of 2007 and 2008. For years the Bisons have been the Indians AAA affilate but for 2009 they are changing to the Mets as the Indians have switched to the Columbus Clippers (for geographic reasons, I assume). Anyway, I was able to pick up twelve of the jerseys, each comes with a letter from the Bisons GM.


Home
Victor Martinez
Jeremy Sowers
Adam Miller
Asdrubal Cabrera (#33 jersey with the Ginter nameplate)
Michael Aubrey
Aaron Laffey
Travis Hafner (also worn by Westbrook)

Road
Ben Francisco

Alternate
Trevor Crowe

Re: December Pick-ups

Just something about a bat with pine tar and plenty of use.Especially a pitchers bat.Very nice sounds like you got a good deal..

Re: December Pick-ups

The Johnson bat doesn't have a lot of use, but the Webb bat really does. In fact, I've gotten ahold of three Webb bats over the years, and they all had pretty good use on them. Webby works at it.

I also bought myself another '07 Luis Gonzalez gamer, which I originally wasn't going to do. I already had one of Gonzo's L.A. bats, and that was going to be it. (Just like I was only going to buy one of his Cubs bats, and now I mysteriously have three.)

Then I got to looking at this bat, saw where the bidding was, and had to have it.









As you can see, it's got one of Gonzo's astericks on the knob (denoting one of his favorite gamers), a ton of pine tar, lots of ball marks, and it's uncracked. The bidding was hovering right around a hundred bucks near the end, and I picked it up for less than 120. A classic Gonzo bat and a thing of beauty.

Re: December Pick-ups

Great Johnson and Webb bats! Have to love pitchers bats with a ton of use.

Re: December Pick-ups

That Byrnes is sweet and the Johnson..Merry Christmas to yourself nothing better than buying your own presents

Re: December Pick-ups

Firmly in the category of "Things I wanted really badly for Christmas, so I bought them"...

One of Randy's reddish-colored Louisville Sluggers from 2007, and Brandon Webb, Justin Upton and Eric Byrnes gamers from 2008.
