My favorite pick up for 2008 is my Ryan Braun un-cracked game used bat from the 2008 season.

Complete 1949 Minneapolis Millers uniform worn by Otey Clark, the first pro ballplayer I ever met and the only pro ballplayer ever to come from my home town.



And in second place is a Louisville Colonels Otey Clark game worn hat.

Hi Everyone,

Great Thread!

Would have to be the John Stearns collection from Mears, including 83 Blue Alternate Jersey and 80 pants (to match my 80 Jersey) and both catching and batting helmet, a LS P72 and a pair of stirrups for good measure. HMMMMMMM, gotta get me one of those Lockers!

That, and the 94 Hundley Home Jersey. Love that jersey!

Best
Jessie

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR METS CATCHER ITEMS and bats from: Bruce Berenyl, Ed Lynch, Randy Niemann, Rick Anderson, and John Mitchell, as well as bats from members of the 2000 Mets.

The 2nd base Manny stepped on when he hit 500. It's my wife's least favorite and we work in inverse...

It's not a great photo as I'm working on my displays, but my favorite item of the year is without question my 1982 Gary Carter Expos home jersey.

For me it's really difficult to decide between the commemorative jersey the Orioles presented Cal after he hit career HR 400 in 1999 or the umpires lineup cards from the first game of his consecutive game streak in 1982 (I consider myself real fortunate to own both):

This may be because it was my last acquisition of 08, but right now it is my favorite pickup of the year. 08 Posada with tons of pine tar.

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

dirtyla2000, thanks for the comment, I love this jersey. I see you collect Expos gamers, please send me an e-mail at kulynychfamily@verizon.net I'd love to talk about Expos stuff. I'm hoping to add some Dawson, Raines and Oliver stuff at some point.

Mine would be this Negro League style jersey and pants of Mike Cameron worn on July 5, 2008. Normally I don't go after things worn only once, but this was one of his better games with a HR and a sliding catch, plus it gives me something unique to represent his time in Milwaukee. Still to be seen if it will be one year or more than that...

Has to be my 2006 Joe Mauer Game Used Rawlings Big Stick. Used in 2006 when he won his first batting title. Also has the 7 on the knob which is fairly rare on Mauer bats.
