Re: January Pickups

This is definitely a favorite of mine now. It's the main field pitching rubber from Armando Gallaraga's "Almost Perfect" game, as well as being used for every home game during the 2010 season at Comerica Park

Shouldn't this be in the hall of fame? nice pick up!

Re: January Pickups

Picked up my first GU bat...not sure what player cracked it but was taken directly out of Brisbane Bandits clubhouse. I was supposed to get a shattered bat from a game the night before but the GM told me to come back Sunday game and he would give it to me...instead he gave me this one (I assume he chucked out the last one). At least this one is only cracked. Would be good to know who's it is though.


Also met Scott Wearne and got him to inscribe this jersey bought off the Rox. Had a good chat as well!

Re: January Pickups

No, the MLB is from an autograph session on December 4th with Steiner, I wish It was because then it would be easy to photomatch, and I could study for the bar exam instead of searching getty... haha.

I do have some beef with the shipping they sent it without a cube with peanuts in the package, the peanut wrap stuck to the pine tar, and there are some white marks, does anyone know how to get it off? I was taking tweezers but that takes forever.

Re: January Pickups

Nice! Is it MLB authenticated for game use? Awesome pick up!

Did you pick up the Austin Jackson helmet and bat bag from the Tigers auction? I wanted the bat bag, but saw you were bidding on it so I left it alone. I am sure there are many more out there.

Re: January Pickups

Frik.... you caught maybe the most inexperienced photographer! First of all the lady has her "quality" camera in her purse, so I used my digital camera that is about 6 years old.

Second, I tried using using the documents setting as that seemed to really work well for autograph baseballs and not picking up add flash light marks. Any tips, I know this is right up your ally. I am trying to cut down on a big bright flash spot on bats?

Thanks!

You might want to ask Kyle Hess. I could tell you how to photograph a bat with a digital SLR, but not with a point and shoot. For an SLR, you'd want to use a fast lens, bump up the ISO, and shoot without flash. But I really don't know about your camera.

I've taken pictures of baseballs with flash, but I make sure that the flash marks hit a part of the ball that doesn't have much interest. But good luck. I would recommend that you have your significant other take pictures of the bat for you, or at least borrow her camera.

Re: January Pickups

Filled one of the holes in my collection by picking up a Jay Bruce game used rookie bat from 2008. Big thanks to Josh for driving around the Cincinnati area to meet up with the Craigslist seller.

Bat looks green. What kind of light did you photograph it under?

Re: January Pickups

Today I traded a 1958 El Tappe bat to his nephew for a 1961 Rawlings sporting goods dealer clock. He wanted the bat to go back to the family since they did not have one from his brief time in the major leagues.
