Re: anyone else collect Game Used Baseballs ?

is it good to have game used baseballs signed, doesn't the dirt and everything else on it affect the signature and fades it in the long run?

Re: anyone else collect Game Used Baseballs ?

Though I'd share my Tim Lincecum signed and game used ball from his 1st start. It was a Sunday night no decision against the Phillies. Ball has a clear bat mark and an early signature from the future Cy Young award winner.

Here is my contact with the Detroit Tigers.
Marc.Himelstein@detroittigers.com

Marc is SUPER and will put you on his mailing list. He not only got me the 2008 Jays Game Used ball but the Rosin Bag too from the 5/11/08 - 5/13/08 Series with the Jays in town since it started to rain that night !

I don't think signatures are adversely affected on game used balls. Here is a game ball from 1996 from the game in which Cal Ripken Jr. passed Sachio Kinugasa for the World Record in consecutive games played (2216). As you can see, both signatures have held out nicely..

Re: anyone else collect Game Used Baseballs ?

Just got my 2005 Blue Jays Game used baseball today thanks to fellow member nomarmauerfan selling me his Jays at Twins 5/18/05 G.U. Ball for $42 Dlvd.

So now I have at least 1 Blue Jays Game Used Baseball with MLB Hologram from each Year from 2002 - 2008 ! Plus an extra 2007 Signed by Hector Luna and an Alex Rios 20007 Home Run Derby Final Out #10 in the Final Round G.U. Ball .

Has anyone ever seen a G.U. Ball with MLB Hologram from 2001 or before that ? Or was 2002 the year they started ?

My earliest mlb hologramed baseball is april 2001 (detroit tigers)....I did hear of some items in late 2000 (world series) being authenticated as well...great job on the collection, very cool.

Re: anyone else collect Game Used Baseballs ?

I scored a couple of G/U World baseball classic balls when I went to the 1st
round in Florida when the Dominican played Venezuela. I gave one to my brother. I got lucky that the people who had the first row seats behind the Dominican dugout on the end of the row did not show up until the 4th inning.

Show off YOUR game used baseballs...

Just got done labeling my "game used" baseballs (pregame). Unfortunately there aren't any homerun balls in here. Just balls used during batting practice and pregame warmups, but they were all obtained by myself, which is pretty neat.

Includes balls from the All Star game, HR Derby, final season and inaugural season Yankees logo balls. Two of my favorites are one that was hit by Jeter and another used to warmup by Mariano Rivera.

Feel free to post some photos of balls you caught at games.

Re: Show off YOUR game used baseballs...

I habe over 100 BP homerun balls by players such as..
Albert Pujols
Ryan Zimmerman
Prince Fielder

I have about 10 game used baseballs (most of which are 3rd ball outs from either Albert Pujols or Molina and a few foul balls).

I also caught balls from the 2009 Futures Game, Home Run Derby, and All-Star Game.

My prized ball is an actual ball hit by Prince Fielder in the 2009 Derby. It was his 14th home run of the Derby.

It pays to bring a glove to games!
