Re: Some new Jason Giambi stuff....

Hello all, I have a Jason Giambi Home Run ball from 4-5-98. It's from the Durwood Merrill collection, and comes with his LOA. I've found that Merrill's stuff is good, but he gets fuzzy on the details. This Budig ball is listed as HR #4 from that season, but it's actually his 1st homer of the year. Yes, Merrill did ump that day. Here's the retrosheet link: http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1...050OAK1998.htm

If anyone wants it, email me for pics.

David-
that just attests to how hard Giambi hits the ball..LOL..seriously,though,after your post I actually took a couple MLB balls to them and they lined up fine..I think it's just the photo.

Good looking out though...

Thanks,
Joe

Those seam marks on the black C243 look awfully large for MLB baseballs.

They look like softball sized seams.

Giambi's coming back with the Rockies!!! Thats a huge suprise

Actually this was know about a week ago... BMH let the cat out of the bag when he posted on another thread that Schultzie (Keith Schultz - Rockies Equipment Guy) had called him and he needed to get busy making some Giambi bats!!!

Can't wait for Sept 1st!!!

2000mvpfan-You got that giambi yankees bat for $99-WOW! Where did you get that,and do they have anymore.Like i said,i am not adding to my collection,as i am trying to sell it.But i would'nt be able to pass up on that.

Aaron-
Thanks,man.The seller of that jersey had it for $499 a month ago-when G got released,he raised it to $599 or best offer.I sent him a BO of $400 and almost fell off my chair when he accepted it!That jersey went for $1880 in the 2007 Robert Edwards auction!Only thing I gotta get straightened out is that the MLB holo has it listed as being used at home against the Orioles..duh..its grey,not pinstriped.
Joba-
Just keep looking man,there's deals to be had-that bat only cost $99.The market for Giambi stuff is at the lowest I've seen it since 2005 so its a GREAT time to be taking advantage of people's disinterest in his gear..

Take care fellas-hope to be posting some more stuff soon,I got a few more things I'm looking at...

Re: Some new Jason Giambi stuff....

Mine has a handle crack too....with ball marks on the other side of the label.

Re: Some new Jason Giambi stuff....

That's it...knew it was a model I already had.My H238 has a handle crack and an early Giambi auto just like yours.Only difference is yours has that nice flame finish..great bat!

JRD-
Thanks...I think I saw that bat Tim had..nice one.Its a G174 isn't it?I seem to remember passing on it because I already had 2 signed,used G174s-one OAK one NYY..
See,all it takes is one post and the Giambino fans are coming out of the woodwork!!

Peace,
Joe

Re: Some new Jason Giambi stuff....

2000mvpfan great stuff!

I picked up a n auto'd Giambi A's bat from Tim (hofbats) a few months ago and it's probably the center of my collection.
