April game used pickups...

Re: April game used pickups...

I know this isn't the "typical" game worn item that people post but none the less I thought I'd share it. It is Rusty Wallace's firesuit that he wore during the 1993 Winston 500 where he flipped several times & sustained several injuries. I just recently acquired it through an individual who has spent over 20 yrs in the sport & who personally worked w/ Rusty through most of his career. You can still visibly see some of the blood stains (many more than what is shown) still visible after 17 yrs...

Sorry about the double post (Febuary pickups), this is my 1st time posting...

Picked up the Cedeno and Carp at Mariners team store on opening day. Got home and checked the MLB sticker and found out that I was at both games these bats were broken in. I photomatched the Cedeno with ease. Carp I could not find. I looked through my photos I took at the game and found a picture I took of him on deck holding the bat. What are the odds?

Re: April game used pickups...

won an MLB auction last night- game used yankee jersey from the Yankees 2009 Home opener worn by bullpen coach Mike Harkey- only reason I wanted it was because it was used for the first game at the New Yankee Stadium, would have liked to have gotten a player jersey but it would have been major $

Pretty cool time to have a nice KJ bat - congrats!!

Thanks! I was surprised to be able to get ahold of one so early in the season. Usually the bats of the new guys on the team - especially if they've become instant fan favorites, as Kelly has - get snapped up as soon as they hit the sales floor, and some never do seem to surface.

This bat has great ball marks all over, and several layers of pine tar, and a manufacturing date of early January - so I figure it had to be one that he used extensively in Spring Training, and it managed to remain intact till the third inning of the second game of the season.

My next goal will be getting ahold of an Adam LaRoche bat.

I picked these up earlier in the week, at the Chase Field Team Shop.

Gerardo Parra 'El Yolo' bat, from last year.

Kellly Johnson bat, incredible use, cracked the first week of the season.

Why does K-rod look pissed in the one photo.

Re: April game used pickups...

Picked up a 1986 Cubs Road Jim Frey (Manager) jersey. The name was removed from the back, though I plan on having it professionally restored. (Will post photos of before and after when it is complete). Cool thing about Jim Frey jerseys (for those that don't already know) Is that Jim liked to have an undershirt sewn into the inside of the jersey. I have seen a couple Frey jerseys, but this is the only one i have seen with the undershirt still attached. (Will make the restoration a little more difficult)

Hope you enjoy -

Re: April game used pickups...

Couple of new additions recently...

Actually got this in March, but didn't get a chance to post it. A 2009 Randy Ruiz game worn Blue Jays helmet. It luckily showed up the day before I flew down to Florida for ST and was able to get Ruiz to sign it:




And I was able to add another 2010 Vancouver Olympic game worn jersey. Sarah Vaillancourt's white jersey:




Which goes well with my previous pick up of Vaillancourt's red Olympic game worn jersey:

Re: April game used pickups...

Hello All,

I picked up two Francisco Rodriguez game used jerseys (Black Alt) over the past month or so to go with the two (White Alt & Road Grey) K-Rod jerseys that I already had. I had the opportunity to have him sign the jerseys this Sunday and had photos taken of him signing each one as well as had the signatures authenticated by James Spence immediately after they were signed. All jerseys show tremendous use with three being MLB Authenticated and one has a Grey Flannel LOA. K-Rod took his time and delivered great signatures as well as adding the inscription GU 2009 to the jerseys.

The signatures really enhance these already great jerseys. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Just got this jersey worn by Maurkice Pouncey in the 2008 Capital One Bowl. Pouncey was the 18th overall pick in the draft by the Steelers. Jersey shows excellent use including hit marks and repairs.

Re: April game used pickups...

Hey,
I am really interested in getting some stuff of Varlamov, if you don't mind; where do you get your GU items?

Email: info@moreauart.com

Thanks!

I reduced the image resolution way down so the photomatches may not show too well but they are all photomatched Varlamov pads (2 sets including his rookie set worn throughout playoffs last season) glove and blocker.
i also picked up his pants, chest protector and capitals bag

Re: April game used pickups...

Once again capital im not much of a hockey collector but thats some realy cool stuff. Are the knee pads to hockey collectors on about the same level as the fielders glove for some baseball collectors? either way those are really cool.

I would say maybe around the same level, of course the goalie glove would be more comparable. goalie equipment is just so expensive anyway before you even starting talking GU professional stuff
