Re: March Pick-Ups

I just reserved this bad boy, Brandon Inge's home spring training jersey with the Tigers 75th Anniversary of training in Lakeland patch. They were only issued one home and one road jersey so it's kind of cool tracking the games and watching your jersey in action before you receive it.

I have his last home pants from last year if you would be interested. Mlb authentic.

Re: March Pick-Ups

Thanks "geoff"-I knew you would for sure be one to appreciate my post on the here about the signing.Yeah me and my brother were really surprised that animal painted his face for it.As we got to the book store and was walking back to where it was.Animal came walking by us.And i was'nt sure if that was animal.As i thought it was someone who got painted up like him.As i said to my brother "animal would'nt paint himself up for this would he?".And my brother said it would'nt surprise me.As my brother said that he was at a signing where kamala was signing and he was dressed up in his gimmick.I thought it was strange but then thought it was really neat.I would love to see your chairs.I am going to start a wrestling thread i think.

Thanks For Sharing About Animal.I grew Up On Them both As One Of The Greatest Tag Teams Ever.I can't believe Animal Painted His Face For The Signing.I myself have A few Chairs Signed By Wrestlers And They Are Pretty cool To Collect.

Re: March Pick-Ups

I know this is not a game used item.But its so rare i get to post in the "pick up" thread.And for the wrestling fans out there i thought i would share this.Me and my brother thursday night went to a book signing for the road warrior "animal" new book.He was one half of one of the best tag teams ever.It was a honor to meet him as i am a old school wrestling fan.As that whole jon cena "you cant see me" catch phrase, selling merchandise, and looking good is better than being good style of wrestling now days just is not entertaining to me....Anyways,animal was so nice,signed our book and even signed the chairs we brought for him to sing and then posed for photos.He did a little q&a before the signing and all the questions were boring like a kid asking him if he had ever wrestled jon cena? And i didnt want to ask the whole room my question so i waited until i got up there.And he was very polite and took the time to ansewer it.I was just really impressed by how nice he was.And he is doing another signing next thursday here and we are going to bring the photos of me and him together and have him sign them.Anyways,heres the photo of the chair.I know most could careless but i had a great time so thought i would share.And to quote the late great "hawk" (the other half of the road warriors-"AHHHH,WHAT A RUSH!!!!"......

Re: March Pick-Ups

Jeez, now some fecalhead is faking MeiGray tags?

Unfortunately that is the way it goes in China. I work in the music business and one of the artists i work with endorses a guitar company that is Japanese owned. Much like an athlete endorses a shoe company, except the dollar figure is much lower. The company reps have told me that Chinese farmers have realized it is more profitable to get rid of their crops and animals and knock off guitars instead. The counterfeit issue is so wide spread there and their aren't any local laws to stop them. The meigray tag looks relatively easy to produce. if they can counterfeit a guitar, how easy must it be to knock off a piece of clothing and a tag?

Re: March Pick-Ups

Hate to break it to you, but not only is that jersey not a game-worn or game-issued jersey, it's a bootleg Swingman-style jersey. (NBA Game jerseys don't use single-layer screen printed twill, nor did they use letter sizing; were not made of polyester mesh; fake MeiGray tag is the authentication number for Stephen Hunter's game-issued 'Green Week' jersey, 'NBA Green' special edition tag reads "NATONAL" BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION)

Bootleggers in Asia started producing those last year; they were all over eBay for anywhere between $40-$80.

Here's a real one that was sold last month: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=190502170858

Re: March Pick-Ups

Trying to get my money back, but who knows. I put it on ebay for a little less than what i paid as a fake, but still a nice wearable jersey I guess. Here's hoping I get my money back!

Re: March Pick-Ups

No problem, Perlman. Glad to help.

Re: March Pick-Ups

Thanks Mile High. I didn't pay too much for it, so should have thought it was too good to be true, but for the price I paid is a nice piece to wear

Re: March Pick-Ups

Something a little more practical...



Picked this up from the San Francisco Giants and it's MLB Authenticated and signed by it's original owner...Roberto Kelly.

Re: March Pick-Ups

My first basketball piece. As a so-called hippie (from my 9-year-old and his friends) I thought this was a great promotion from the NBA with the recyclable jerseys for their Green Day events. A Carmelo Anthony Nuggets jersey from that game.
