Ever have any of your items on a card?

Re: Ever have any of your items on a card?

I have been waiting for this one. I knew the chances were going to be good that this helmet would show up on some baseball cards this year. I have the helmet that Alex Gordon used in 116 games of the 2016 season. The helmet is shown on his 2017 Topps series 1 card. One of my biggest joys is to see the items that I own show up on a baseball card. This card shows: Alex Gordon #4 of the Kansas City Royals scoring on a double hit by Salvador Perez #13 during the fourth inning against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field on May 8, 2016 in Cleveland, Ohio

I believe I have this jersey (pinstripes match along the collar, letters, and seams of the sleeves) of Rob Deer:

Rookie game used Robert Turbin jersey, shown on MANY of his rookie cards.

After the massive rip, it was repaired.

Re: Ever have any of your items on a card?

I read this post when I first joined GUU and ever since thought it would be really cool to have an item that also appears on a baseball card. I have finally had that happen. At Royals Fan Fest 2016 I bought a Johnny Cueto game used hat that I have photo matched to at least 7 different starts with the Royals in 2015. He only made 13 starts in the regular season for the Royals. I found a Bowmans Best Johnny Cueto card on EBay that had the same picture as one I photo matched the hat to.

It's really hard to see it in the card so I grabbed the Getty Images picture to make it easier to see. The picture was taken on August 26, 2015 when Johnny made a start against the Orioles at Kauffman Stadim.

I have also bought one of the cards to display with the hat.

I think this is a great thread and we should revive it. So any one else have any new items to post?

The authenticator that put that sticker there should be fired! That's just wrong. Should be on the back bottom centered or under the bill......always!

Haha glad I'm not the only one who thought that

Found a nice match the this Topps card for my Ortiz helmet:

What on earth was the authenticator thinking putting the sticker there?...dumbest spot ever.

[QUOTE=bat_master;340895]Assuming that the images for 1971 Topps were taken in 1970 this would be a true rookie glove and photo matched on top of it.


Great Glove and photomatch on that Bowa!

I have Salvador Perez first game used walk off HR bat. I don't have a card with that bat on it but Topps has several cards with him trotting towards home plate after that walk off. I matched it by pausing and matching him as well as people in the background. Here is the card.

The Keith Byars jersey I own that he wore in the 1996/1997 AFC Divisional Playoff Game against the Steelers, and AFC Championship Game against the Jaguars, was featured on several of his 1997 cards. The tell tale is the black streak on the head of the number 1 on the front of his jersey. He got that in the second quarter of the Divisional game after a huge collision with Steeler linebacker Levon Kirkland as a lead blocker on a running play that had both of them staggering to get up. There's also a tear/repair I can see on the cards in person, but you can't make out from these pictures:

One of my favorites. A 1987 Charles Mann road jersey appeared on a number of cards, below is a sample:
