November pick-ups

Re: November pick-ups

I may be a wrath here with this, but what the heck, it's what the forum's for. Nationals, you may want to check into that Manny helmet a little more. It seems off to me, starting with those numbers. At least in '94 the Indians appeared to generally use "square" numerals (white numbers on clear squares); not the type you see on yours. I know we're talking '93 vs. '94 here, but early career Manny-caliber helmets with light use like yours immediately raise red flags to me. Honestly, Nationals, those helmets aren't difficult to fake. Do you mind sharing where/from whom you bought it?

Not positive, but looks like the "24" is a different font in the circled photo than the helmet you have.

def not the same helmet as in the picture, look at the difference in space from the numbers to the stickers below. much larger gap in manny photo

Re: November pick-ups

I just had my second huge score in the past three years from a former Minnesota Twins employee. I scored 16 game used autographed bats from members of the 1987 World Champion Minnesota Twins. All bats are properly numbered with player numbers and all are autographed except one. Bats from top to bottom: Laudner, Puckett, 2x Gladden, Gagne, Bush, Newman, Larkin, Gaetti, Brunanski, Hrbek, Lombardozzi, Davidson, Neito and two fungo coaches bats. The Puckett bat comes with a LOA from the Twins Pro Shop stating the bat is from the 1992 season and there are photos included of Puckett signing this bat. I also scored several throw back uniforms that I will post pictures of, from this same Twins employee.

Holy cow, big10champ! I am not a baseball collector and I am not a huge baseball fan (I am mainly a Minnesota Vikings fan), but I do follow and cheer for the Minnesota Twins, and I have to say I am astounded by this massive load of Twins bats you scored. Puckett, Gaetti, Hrbek, Gladden and Brunansky.... Those names/players are as big as it gets in the history of the Minnesota Twins. You must be pretty excited! Congratulations!

Re: November pick-ups

Not that we all need more pics, but this would be important for a helmet!

Re: November pick-ups

Finally, found a sweet 1993 game-used Indians batting helmet. Was manufactured in April of 1993, Manny's rookie season, and shows excellent use with all of the proper labeling and stickers.

Also grabbed a 2000 Rawlings bat - had a '98 and '99 Rawlings prior!

Re: November pick-ups

Got some excellent Manny stuff from his time with the Indians over the last few weeks. First is a hammered Cooper bat from his rookie era graded a 9.5/10 by PSA/DNA. Most use I've seen on a Manny bat!

Hey Kevin, man you are quick. I gave you my home e-mail by mistake and I can't pick messages from my work location. If you can, please send me a cc to my work address tim_sandman@progressive.com If not no big deal as I'll pick it up later tonight when I get home. There is an underscore between my first and last name.

Thanks again,

Tim
