Tickets are a tough task, especially if you're looking for specific ones. Took me a while, but I finally found and bought Arod's 1st Career Grand Slam Ticket. Hope to eventually find a "full" ticket.

Good luck and hope you find the one's you need.

Regards, Tony

Tony,
Thanks for the kind words. I have been fortunate enough to get over the 500 + mark. I have most of the milestones. #1, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500. plus the game used line up card signed by Ron Gardenhire from his 300 HR game vs Twins. But, I usually run across one ,or two
off ebay once every couple of months.
Happy Holidays!
Roger

My main priority is to obtain atleast one Chicago Bears Orange Alternate of a star player. I would also welcome a shot at A Walter Payton game used item.

Finding another Notre Dame game worn bowl jersey - unfortunately, these remain few and far between, except plenty of misrepresented jerseys keep coming up on the market that are not true game worn ND bowl jerseys. In 2009, I saw exactly ZERO real Notre Dame game worn bowl jerseys for sale.

But just for fun, and to show everyone that they must do their homework carefully on any reported game used bowl jersey, I did see the following jerseys that were not true gamers:
-a 2004 Insight Bowl jersey - problem was the jersey number was not in use by the team for the game - not even a walk-on had that number. So kind of hard to be game worn. Probably a jersey that someone added the patch to after the fact.
-a 2006 Sugar Bowl jersey - problem with that one was zero use for a player that appeared in the game, and that a 6 foot 190 lbs DB does not use a size 50 jersey.
-a 2001 Fiesta Bowl jersey - completely wrong style sleeve logo

We'll see what 2010 brings.

Happy Holidays!
-Mike

1. Knock a bat or two off my "cornerstones" list.
Gamers of my favorites like, George Brett, Gwynn, Bagwell, Biggio, Thome, etc. If I win the Powerball jackpot, Ted Williams!

2. Add a game used fielding glove to my collection.

3. Work on a display compromise that makes both me and the wife happy. She doesnt like a bunch of dirty bats hanging on the wall...

4. Build more contacts and relationships with fellow collectors.

Camp ,
Email me maybe I can help knock one off your list.
Happy Holidays! Roger

To finish off my Thome HR ticket wantlist. Also, pry this Thome Rookie jersey out of the hands of my freind Steve. Merry Christmas ! To everyone.

About the only thing that would cause me to open my check book this year is a elvis andrus g/u jersey and or a g/u glove from hamilton, kinsler, or young. Theres a guy on here that has a young helmet i would probably buy that as well if it came available.

1. Get a lot more bats and jerseys, helmets and gloves, etc, actually displayed, and out of the closets, corners and boxes they're currently residing in.

2. Sell, even if at a loss, the eighty or so bats (and probably 30-40 jerseys) that no longer "fit" in my collection.

3. Come closer to my goal of acquiring a game-used Diamondbacks bat for every position player (and as many pitchers as possible) from the 1998 and 2001 teams.

Also looking for Yankees game used line-up card, baseball, or base from 5/6/06.

Mark

Oops, that should be Soriano Yankees world series gamers......PLEASE!

Did you see this?

http://www.huntauctions.com/phone/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=71&lot_num=417

I'm always confused at their wording of items as they never really say "game used" but that it does exhibit wear.

I was just gonna post that one. I'm with you, though, if it exhibits wear, was it worn?? Always confusing.
