Re: Detroit Tigers GU

I attended the Mike Henneman and Mickey Tettleton signing today in Redford. First signing that Tettleton has done in Michigan since his days with the Tigers...never thought I would get my Tettleton bat signed when I bought it.

Tettleton 2/2 (GU bat and 94 AS ball)
Henneman 1/1 (89 AS ball)

I have some Henneman and Tettleton game worn Tigers jersey's with Team L.O.A.s if your interested.

I'll have something new to post this week, but I was somehow able to photomatch Jackson's 9-11 hat.

Miguel Cabrera game used Florida Marlins jersey



Doesn't show a crazy amount of use, but there are a few small dirt stains. My guess is that it was washed before sold.
Jhonny Peralta game used X Bat



I also just won a pair of Cabrera batting gloves, so I'll post pictures when I get them tomorrow or the day after.

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

recently picked up this 1998 home Bill Ripken jersey....I know the tags reads ST, but I'm hoping it was worn in the regular season as well:

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

I'm just curious if anyone can add as to what the handwriting in marker on the tag represents? "JS" "G"

JS are the initials of the tigers equiptment manager Jim Schmakel and G stands for gamer (I've always assumed). His initials were seen on most tiger jerseys if they left the clubhouse, but nowdays w/ authentics, some do leave w/out his initials on them.

I was looking at the Carlos Guillen 2010 Home Jersey with the EH patch on Saturday. I noticed that the jersey had the JS and G marking on the tag although it was on the game issued rack. Marc Himelstein came over and try to sell me on the jersey. He stated that they were selling it as a game issued because it was not MLB authenticated. He did say Jim Schmakel often makes these markings "to feel a part of the process." Marc said it in a little bit of a snide tone. I know that Jim has been doing this for years and I believe it was his way of authenticating stuff. It is now a bit dated as the Tigers obviously don't give it much weight.

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

It still could be Jims way of letting us know what was used or not when it leaves the clubhouse. I noticed on that issued rack too some he had marked 'N'...I figured that was for 'new' or 'not used' which I thought was kind of cool.

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

Here's a couple photos of a Magglio bat back in 2008 which I thought were cool because it shows he used the same bat in BP & during the game that day (thanks Rich for putting these together for me!!!). Ive had the bat for a year or so...
