With many thanks to Brad at Shafran Collectibles....

2007 Lastings Milledge Mets BP cap.

Hologrammed to the final day of the 2007 season, but it has tons of sweat stains so it was probably used longer than that.

Now I have Milledge's last ever Mets jersey, batting helmet and BP cap.


Hard to see in this pic but there is a finger-width wide area of dirt/pine tar on the brim. Just like if you had pine tar on your finger while you took the hat off.


Sweat stains, Milledge's typical #44 in the correct place. Steiner and MLB holo's.

Re: May pick-ups

Just got this in the mail direct from the Blue Jays. Its from the 2008 season and has an MLB hologram dated April 20th 2008...which was the date he was released by the Jays.

Its huge too...almost two feet in length.

Re: May pick-ups

So far, May has been a very successful month on the Cubs pickups. So far, I've picked-up:

* 1989 Set 2 - Don Zimmer Home Cubs Uniform w/ tobacco stains - possible photomatch to a getty image from late '89.

* 1988 BP - Andre Dawson from BIGSTIG - possible photomatch to an August 23, 1988 picture note the neck cut. I talked to Dawson this evening at a signing and he mentioned remembering having to cut some of the necks on the BP jerseys.

* 1992 Andre Dawson GU Worth bat.

* 2008 GU DeRosa and Aramis Ramirez bats

* 2008 GU Matt Murton A's Road Grey Jersey

Re: May pick-ups

Here's something you don't see on this forum. This is a game used cricket bat. Used by former Australian opening batsman GEOFF MARSH.

I'm sure alot of you are thinking "what the @$?!"

I actually think it's very cool to see (and learn the different mark colors). Nice pickup!

Re: May pick-ups

glad you received the bat. every time i get such a win it ends up being lost by the seller or not send for some reason. glad some ebayers stick to the agreement.

Cricket bats are quite rare, as a player would usually only use one or two per season. They are made to last, and rarely crack.

This bat shows both red and white ball marks. Red balls used during day games, white balls used in day/night games.

Notice the fiberglass tape on the bat. This is allowed on bats in cricket, and merely prevents any further damage to a favored bat.

The rubber handle grip is lost to time.

Bat dates to around 1990-92 based on the design.

I'm sure alot of you are thinking "what the @$?!"
