lou whitakers 1983 march of dimes tiger of the year award & lou whitakers 1992 lifetime achievement award as the only second baseman other than joe morgan (at the time) to have 2000 hits, 2000 games & 200 home runs at second base!!! a rare pickup in my opinion!!

This has nothing to do with trophies but the organization giving the award. March of Dimes mission to save sick babies and prevent illness in babies makes it such a noble and wonderful charity. Just a plug for a great charity!!!

Re: January pick-ups

Just picked up a awesome Keith Byars game worn Eagles jersey. The seller personally received the jersey from Keith who told the seller that this jersey was actually worn during the "Fog Bowl" in Chicago. I have no reason to doubt the seller isn't telling the truth but we'll check it out anyway.

The jersey was made by Russell with 4" extra length added. There are 18 team repairs, a blood stain, turf burns and to top it off, the NOB is original.

Awesome pickup! How does one manage to locate awards? I wish I had a few in my collection, because heaven only knows I didn't earn too many growing up!

Re: January pick-ups

I dont think anyone would argue with a $40 jersey of a major leaguer. That's a steal in my eyes - even if you wear it yourself to a game.

No kidding! I got an email from the Cardinals last week and the CHEAPEST home/road jersey was 225.00 and those guys didn't make it out of spring training or where little used bench players. I think the cheapest BP jersey was 125.00

Re: January pick-ups

Not really if you ask me. Their selection this/the past year at FanFest was terrible imo. A majority of the GU stuff were of former players (like 3+ years ago) and tons of lower named players.

Well i didn't go, I was more making refrence to a few jerseys that went for under $100 of good players, i.e. alex gordon for $85.
