February Pick Ups!!

Re: February Pick Ups!!

Just picked this up...

2007 Rick Ankiel Black Rawlings. Same batch number as my other 2007 he used in late Aug - early Sept.

I guess it's a good thing I didn't put in my snipe after all Joe!
You would have ended up with it either way - NICE pickup. I never was one to mind cracks/chunks. Looks like it has great use too.

Rick's apparently got his own 'memorabilia agent' - and he is taking time to inscribe stuff. Hang onto this one!

Got this in a couple of days ago. Dustin Pedroia 2008 LVS gamer from his AL MVP season. Bat shows nice game use with ball/seam marks and a ton of pine tar.

I may have a photo match of Pedroia using this ash bat vs the Rangers on 8-12-08, very high scoring game. Boston 19 vs Rangers 17, Pedroia had 5 hits with 2 rbi's. I'll post pics of the photo match later.

Thanks, Bobby

Tyler Yates 2008 Pirates red alternate jersey, jersey shows nice game wear with puckering and loose threads on the numbers.

The mlb hologram states that the jersey was worn on April 24, 2008 Cardinals vs Pirates, I checked that game and the Pirates used their white vests vs the Cardinals on the 24th, they did use the red alternate on Friday, April 25th vs the Phillies and Yates did pitch in that game.

I want to personally thank Jay, aka "Pietraynor" for going out of his way to get me this jersey at the 2009 Piratesfest. Jay was a pleasure to deal with and I look forward to dealing with him in the future.

Thanks, Bobby

andrew lang and vintageD: thanks! if a grail is the ultimate item a collector hopes to pick up one day, then this one exceeds my grail because i never thought i'd even see a shirt like this surface, much less be able to acquire it. it's beyond a grail.

sincityson: no auction house. i haven't seen a decent jays gamer from a solid starter appear at any auction house in years. this amazing shirt was courtesy of the forum's own mike specht! seeing as how i didn't want to chance the shirt to UPS/FedEx and we both live in southern california, mike was even good enough to meet me for an in-person delivery.

it's something to think of how much this forum has helped collectors in every aspect of collecting.

Re: February Pick Ups!!

Just picked up a an LVS Jorge Posada Air Dry. The last thing I needed was another Posada bat, especially one without tons of use, but I have been on the lookout for a Yanks "Air Dry" LVS.

Re: February Pick Ups!!

I was fortunate enough to purchase a couple more Frank Thomas items last month and the last bat arrived today! Thanks goes out Steve Smith and another frequenter but non poster on the site. 3 bats - Kissimmee Stix, Rawlings, and a early model Hoosier. The uniform is from 2002 and authenticated by Rob Steinmatz none-the-less. I had been holding off to get a Rawlings with great use. I had also been offered Kissimmee bats, but they were always game ready...this one shows use!!!! Enjoy.

Those pickups are great. They'll go really nicely with your other Big Hurt items! Good luck collecting.

Re: February Pick Ups!!

This isn't in hand yet, in fact I just won it on ebay this morning, but was so excited about finally finding one that I wanted to go ahead and post it.
