Re: January Pickups

2009 Cliff Lee Alternate, with HK patch and signed with Game Worn inscription. Purchased directly from Phillies--MLB classification is Team Issued as they did not witness Lee taking it off, but the jersey shows use--can see outline from belt, tags are curled from washing and some other misc. loose threads. Also has the Phillies 09 tagging inside. Met Cliff today and he verified it was one of his gamers from 2009 and added a nice game worn 2009 inscription.

I picked up this Mark Sanchez full uniform last week. It's from the December 26th, 2010 game against the Bears. It's got great use!!

Re: January Pickups

I also picked up this Ichiro bat from 2002 a few weeks ago. I'd love another Ichiro bat at some point.

Re: January Pickups

Back from the Minute Maid with these RARE jerseys. I have a thing for Astros TBTC jerseys and these two take the cake. First up is a 1999 M&N Moises Alou rainbow TBCT with matching pants. Both are made in Berlin with proper tagging. Alou was injured for the whole season due to his treadmill accident but apparently they made him a uniform. Never seen this jersey anywhere except the Ryan a fellow member owns. Love the screened on Astros and the Star








Next up is a 1995 TBTC shooting star jersey made by Victory Athletic. This company out of LA supplied Bagwell, Biggio custom jerseys in the late 90's while the rest of the Astros wore Russell Athletic. This is #12 of Rickey Gutierrez who played mostly as a bench guy in 95. Never seen this jersey in my life till today and can't find photos on the internet. Jersey is really sweet. Not really accurate as it has tackle twill wordmark not chain stitch.

Re: January Pickups

Nice pickups! And, the Original, Sand-Knit Rainbows were screened-on, while the Goodman's were sewn-on. And I agree, the Shooting Star TBTC does look off-kilter from the originals.

They were $250 each. The Alou came with the pants.

Bama,
Nice pick up. Did the Astros have another sale today for Monday? Anymore more rainbow style or anything game used left in the store? B.F.
