Re: April Pickups

I picked up a number of Gators jerseys this month but haven't had a chance to upload photos of all of them. This one is by far my favorite:



This was worn by wide receiver David Nelson during the 2008 season during all home games as well as the SEC Championship game in which he caught a pivotal touchdown pass from Tim Tebow with 2:59 remaining in the first half.

Picked up a cracked GU Roy Oswalt bat straight from the Phillies w/ MLB authentication the other day. Pretty stoked on it being in my collection. Tryin to get one from each ace on this years squad.

Here is my 1973-75 Joe Morgan gamer. It has between 30-40 ball marks and is just perfect! Thanks to BigKlu for this sweet gamer!

I personally detest Joe Morgan, but that bat is truly excellent.

I picked up a Cliff Pennington 2011 Game Used Jackie Robinson Day jersey at the A's community fund auction at yesterdays game.It is MLB auth. It has a great dirt stain all over the front. They had 10 jerseys in total at the auction. The Matsui went for the most $.

Picked up this Lance Berkman game used jersey that I was able to photo match to game 2 of the ALDS when he hit a home run and game 2 of the ALCS. Its Steiner and MLB authenticated as issued, and has a hole punched in the inside wash tag.

How much did it set you back? It's a very nice jersey.

You didn't happen to see if Grant Balfour's jersey was there?

Thanks, Dave! Morgan isn't my favorite either.....but is a 2X MVP and a major part of the Big Red Machine. The bat is sweet and 70's gamers of HOF players are getting a bit more difficult to come by.

Balfour's jersey was not one of the 10 at the auction. The A's do let the players keep their jerseys if they want to. There also are usually only about 10 items at each auction.

Re: April Pickups

Talk about a small world! I have the actual ball that was in play when Berkman was batting in the ALCS game 2 picture above. It's FJ251302, one of 55 balls authenticated from that game. It has the dirt stain from being fouled by Berkman into the LH batter's box.

I bought it from the Rangers' charity table at the stadium before the start of WS game 3. It was used for the first two pitches: a ball, and the foul ( incorrectly called a "foul tip" by the authenticator, a mistake in terminology he made throughout the game.) At first I thought it was used also for the preceding strikeout of Posada ( who didn't touch the ball), but a tape showed that Oliver apparently got a new ball after the strikeout.
