Awesome ball marks. I love when the MLB logo image gets imprinted into the barrel!

Re: Zimmerman hits in 30 straight games!
I didn't want to jinx the Zim streak so I didn't post this beauty that was used to extend the streak and cracked on a single way back on April 16 2009!
Hologram number BB942837 was located in the MLB Authentication Database under GAME-USED BROKEN BAT.

Re: Zimmerman hits in 30 straight games!
Jim is absolutely right. Zim's popularity is at an all-time high right now.You didnt offend me. Not in the least. Heck, ask allstarsplus how many calls he gets for Zim stuff if you dont believe me.
Look at his stats and tell me that he isnt one of the best in the league. Fans who have watched him know that he ranks right up there with the best 3B in the game right now. With Dunn and a healthy Nick Johnson in the line-up, Zim is finally seeing some pitches to hit. Please tell me where the card store is that has him in the common box. I'll make money all day long.
If I go to an American League city, I could see Zim being in the common or Semi-star box. At House of Cards in Silver Spring MD they have a case with Zim premium cards on the 1st case as you walk into the shop.
The above link is what sold in the last week. Just sold that bat for $305 and an Authentic jersey. Now I am sold out of autographed bats. Most of my sales are off of eBay anyways, and by the way, all of my buyers of Zim items this past week are from out of town except one local sale!Leave a comment:

[/quote]Wow vintage,i did'nt mean to upset you.Is this guy your brother or something?I did'nt mean to offend him or you.And i will make sure i tell all the card dealers i know,including my brother's friend who has owned a card shop for about 30 years that he does'nt know anything about baseball.He will be quite happy to know that.Because he puts a guy who most people proberly could'nt pick out in a line up in the "common" box. quote=Vintagedeputy;140266]I'm quite familar with the term "common". I've been a collector and (previously) a dealer for the past 23 years.
With that said, any card store that puts a Ryan Zimmerman card in a box with commons has zero knowledge of baseball or how to make a profit at selling cards.Leave a comment:

Re: Zimmerman hits in 30 straight games!
Jim - Of course I am with you and so were the Nats TV announcers, but we are definitely in the minority on that.
The SF fans were great.
I saw similar decisions with McGwire, Sosa and Bonds when they were all going for HR records, but I also saw some Managers challenge these guys knowing what was at stake.
All in all, 30 games is quite an accomplishment and put him #2 all time for 3rd basemen streaks.Leave a comment:

Re: Zimmerman hits in 30 straight games!
haha!
I actually thought that Zito would be the one this week to give Zim the most trouble, although I think intentionally walking someone on a 30 game hitting streak is a candy ass move.
Kudos to the Giants fans for applauding Zim after his last at-bat.Leave a comment:
