More Markakis bats 2008 photomatched from Big Bert and a 2009 Max bat shows excellent use uncracked many seam marks ball marks nice coat of tar.

Lastly, a Ripken 2131 chair used on Sept. 6, 1995 one of only 260 total the Orioles sold that sat on the field the night Cal Jr. broke the all-time consecutive games played record. I have been searching for one of these for over 10 total years. Finally found one through H&S auctions in November.

Re: December pick ups

One of my collecting interests is in screen-used Baseball stuff, and I just picked up a bat, from the short-lived (11 episodes) 2004 t.v. series "Clubhouse", to go with my Conrad Dean (played by Dean Cain) jersey.







The same seller had a "Ken Strout" bat - Strout was the last out in Billy Chapel's perfect game in the Costner film "For Love of the Game" - which went for a little more than I wanted to pay for it right now. Of the two, this is the one I wanted more, anyway, just because I've already got the jersey, and this will look great displayed with it.

Re: December pick ups

The two-tone LS matches all the ones I've seen Cain using in various publicity shots.

Re: December pick ups

Mark McGwire 1999 game used bat with Taube LOA PSA/DNA GU10 slight handle crack, order #410, 99 stamped on the knob. Mac's usual 33 ounces on the knob and McGwire written in blue ink on the knob. The bat comes with a loa from the former director of the Mark McGwire foundation for Children who details the use of this bat during a game at Dodger Stadium on May 22, 1999. The director details that McGwire used this bat to hit two homers in that game and cracked the bat, signed and inscribed it after the game and gave it to her.

In the game on May 22, 1999 against the Dodgers Mac hit the ball completely out of Dodger Stadium 484 feet against Darren Dreifort for his 2nd homer of the night becoming one of only three players to ever hit the ball completely out of Dodger Stadium. It was used at least to hit career homers 467, 468 & 469. I have also photomatched the bat to the game on May 20, 1999 against the Padres in which Mac hit homer 467 against Sterling "Silver" Hitchcock. Unfortunately, I cannot find any photos of the May 22, 1999 game or any games directly before May 20, 1999 as McGwire hit several other homers in games prior to May 20, 1999. Still, not too bad a certified 3 homer bat.

If anybody can find any photos of this game anywhere from May 22, 1999 or the 3 - 5 total games prior to May 20, 1999 please let me know as I am offering a very nice reward if this bat can be further photomatched in those additional games.

Re: December pick ups

Nice Mac bat. Im kindof suprised that he didnt inscribe the bat with the HR notations.

Re: December pick ups

Since I couldn't make Redsfest 2009 i picked up an item from Redsfest 2002.

Re: December pick ups

Was that the Griffey on Ebay? I noticed it disappeared!

Re: December pick ups

That COA from the Reds says nothing about the bat.

Re: December pick ups

Did you buy that Junior bat as a gamer? Because I've never seen any with those markings, usually the "swingman" is in place of his signature. You might want to ask the LV rep on here what he thinks.

Re: December pick ups

Guy I purchased it from got it in a silent auction in 2002 at Redsfest. He is very legit with all his Reds items and was set up this year at Redsfest. I'm going to contact the Community Fund about getting a COA stating the Griffey bat on it. Also I don't understand the statement about SWINGMAN bat having no signatures, all the ones I have seen have them.

Re: December pick ups

I just recieved these 2 bats today. The top bat is from Alcides Escobar and is un-cracked. The bottom bat is from Brett Lawrie and is cracked in the handle. Both bats show great game use to them with many ball marks, stitch imprints and pine tar. Alcides will be the starting short stop for the Brewers and Brett is their top prospect.
