Re: What is your favorite addition to your collection in 2008?

Like many others here I've added quite a few memorable pieces to the collection this year including:

1) A VINTAGE (Ford Frick) Stan Musial AUTO Ball (PSA/DNA Cert) - No pics available right now

2) A 1984 Olympic Ball - Big Mac on SS, Will Clark and Barry Larkin on Panels (JSA Cert) - No Pics Available right now

3) A VINTAGE Yogi Berra Hartland w/ Original Mask AND a 25th Ann Hartland that is AUTO'd on the back









A Pair of Vintage Hats - #1 is a 1965-1970 Angels w/ 'Halo':





A 1960's GU Yankees KM Pro (w/ '7' under the bill ???) This will be going to
Mears - supposedly from the 1968 Season (Mick's last year):







But Probably MY # 1 pick up in 2008 was Matt Holliday's ONLY GU 2007 World Series Hat and having it SIGNED and INSCRIBED by him Personally. While most Rockies players wore a different hat each of the 4 games, Matt told me personally that this was the ONLY hat he wore for ALL 4 games - also have Rockies LOA for Provenance:





Me with Matt and the Hat:



I also own Matt's 1st Professional MLB Jersey from his 1st MLB Spring Training in 2000 (he was #84) with LOA from Rockies.

All the best -

I've added quite a few pieces to my collection this year that I am quite fond of but my Prince Fielder Game Worn and Autographed Uniform worn at the Rickwood Classic is my favorite.

Fairfield Works - United States Steel jersey signed by Prince with MLB hologram



Pants, belt and stirrups



Photo of Prince from the game



All gift wrapped with a COA from Authenticgamers.com.

I've followed the movement of this uniform from owner to owner via various message boards but never thought I'd see it pop up again. Fortunately, it did and at a great price!

A very close second in 2008 is Ben Revere's game used fielding glove. Revere was the Twins top pick in 2007 and he hit .374 this last year for Beloit. The glove came with a COA stating that Revere had used it from the time he was in junior high until the end of last season!

I think it's gotta be my 06 Mike Mussina Uniform I picked up. Moose is my favorite player and to get this was amazing! Even more wonderful was the jersey had been photo matched to having be used on June 25th 06, the game where Moose got his 2500 K! It's become a family treasure (my Mom and I are huge Moose fans) and the jersey is currently being framed.

Re: What is your favorite addition to your collection in 2008?

Wow. Awesome. I'm jealous. This jersey probably matches up with the two Stars baseball cards. I would still love to pick up a McGwire game used anything.

Rob: Only reason I sold that jersey...ONLY REASON...was because of major purchases I made in 2008, or I would not have sold it. I bought it in 1994. Great piece, and surprisingly I had trouble selling it, most likely because of the steroid thing I guess...

Thanks. The Bell jersey came through a couple of parties, one of which is a member of our forum. The story goes that it was originally part of Doug Williams' private collection and was auctioned off for charity.
