Re: Best Team for Acquiring G/U Items:Tigers

Let me also add that Marc is the best and I think a lot of teams can learn from him. Just remember that it was not long ago that Tiger items used to hard to find.
Antoher team that has someone easy to work with are the Rockies.
Just my 2 cents

Re: Best Team for Acquiring G/U Items:Tigers

Guys, the Cardinals authentics manager, Pat Daly really does a great job too.

I get spreadsheets of available stuff several times a year, and the selection of bats at the last home game was top notch. You will never get Pujols or Yadi (rarely)....but there is still a nice selection.

Is it possible to get on the list for this spreadsheet? If so, how? Do you have to go to the stadium to pick them up, or can they be mailed? Thanks!

Re: Best Team for Acquiring G/U Items:Tigers

I am a Mets fan and I am not associated in any way with the Tigers. But I am amazed how organized and accessable the Tigers are in promoting their game used items(Most affordable,not all). I once reached out to them for a Andy Van Slyke G/U coaches jersey and ever since then I've received e-mails informing me of items available and soon to be available. During the season contact is almost every other day. This last e-mail prompted me to post this thread. Today,among other things offered, is a ball pitched by Greinke on 7/8/09 in the 5th inning and fouled off by Inge. Amazing. Who's assigned to catch these?
Again I'm not associated with this but I sure wish other teams were as well organized and prices set affordably (Well,except the HR balls) as Marc Himelstein seems to do with the Tigers.
Todays e-mail offering:

I was at the Sunday Tigers/White Sox game and Marc was blowing out the Cleveland Buckeye July 11th Negro Tribute, "game worn" and game issued jerseys,pants, and hats. I counted 17 GW uniforms (all were $200.) and 13 GI uniforms ($180. The Cliff Lee uniform was still available at only $400. If anyone is interested contact Marc Himelstein ASAP. He still has Detroit Stars available also.

Re: Best Team for Acquiring G/U Items:Tigers

I have to agree that Marc is a great guy to deal with. Being a big Indians fan, I was fortunate enough to pick up the Victor Martinez, Shin Soo Choo, Asdrubal Cabrera and Kerry Wood Buckeye uniforms. He is a good guy to deal with, I wish the Indians had a similar person to head up their GU sales.

I saw that you won the Martinez, but am glad to hear that your bids were accepted on the Choo, Wood, and Asdrubal as well. I know that you had wanted a Choo jersey. Congrats!

Re: Best Team for Acquiring G/U Items:Tigers

Thanks Ohiobobcat! I just received the jerseys today and will post some pics soon. Any chance you are heading to the National in Cleveland this weekend? I will be there Friday and Saturday.

Re: Best Team for Acquiring G/U Items:Tigers

I was going to go today, but things didn't work out. I'm going to the Tribe game tomorrow night (8/1) but won't be able to make the National. I hope you can pick up some nice stuff while you're there. Keep an eye out for any nice Hafner stuff.
