Matched my Jackson 2013 Fathers Day jersey!

Ahh, okay. Cool item, nevertheless.

Thanks! It is also unique because the bat is branded for Matt Tuiasosopo who is no longer on the team. Here is another look at part of the match. The SAM BAT logo has an imperfection on it, almost looks like a circle on the "wing" of the bat.

No it is not authenticated as a HR bat. I'm confident it is in fact the HR bat though. Other angles of the bat were matched including tar where his hands hold and of the knob. If the font looks different its only because it is hard to take a picture at the right angle to match the angle of the screenshot.

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

Very cool Avila bat, Joe. As for the Davis bat, does the MLB hologram say it was from the HR? The reason I ask is the slight differences in font sizing (due to POV angle) and placement of pine tar and ball marks. I know the odds are unlikely of being so close and not a match, but I would be interested to know if MLB also noted it as the HR bat.

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

Hey Tony... here's those Torii Hunter cleats I was talking about. Need to get my hand on a MLB authenticated Victor Martinez jersey one of these days. Post a pic when that V-Mart jersey gets completed with DC Sports.

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

Darron,

I dropped three items off - 2 home run bats and a game used jersey. It was good to see you the other day been a long time!

Joe, love the Alex bat - just a perfect match, a bat I was looking at haha.

This is my newest pick up - Ian Kinsler's Career HR 160 in Baltimore off of Bud Norris, a very easy match thanks to the work of Joe. One of the easier ones I've gotten.

I love Kinsler! Great acquisition!

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

Joe - Surprised those game used hats aren't getting bids on ebay. If they don't sell there, I would buy both off you and save you the ebay fees.

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

Man... that turned our great Tony. Figure I might see you on Saturday to get Victor's jersey completed? Trying to get a V-Mart game used jersey myself. I have a game used Hat I've been trying to move on ebay. Might just take down that auction and get it signed Saturday.

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

Great to see a few guys in here that I buy from or sell to on ebay! Talk about some great items. Will try to post a few items from my collection (Torii Hunter signed game used cleats) as I've been lucky enough to get a few things here and there. Did anyone else take advantage of the Hockeytown Authentics sale on Saturday? Was lucky enough to get a pair of Tatar Gloves and David Legwand skates for decent prices.

Alex Avila Homerun Bat from May 20th against the Indians. 54th Career HR. I love easy matches like this one! Thanks to Rich for the quality work.
