May pickups

Re: May pickups

2009 Gold Glove Winner Adam Jones' probable first MLB game used fielder's glove. AP picture is from 7/15/2006, while Jones debuted in the Majors just one day earlier on 7/14/2006. Glove was clearly relaced at some point, I believe in late 2007 or early 2008. The original black lacing has all been replaced with the exception of the thumb strap. Very heavy use, vertical bar on the thumb side of the webbing has completely broken free and there is some great wear on the pocket webbing. Glove was retired and signed in 2008.

Re: May pickups

Got this in today Miguel Cabrera autographed game used bat graded 9 by PSA/DNA

Guess I don't get PSA's grading system. You'd figure if the player signs it as "game used" (and there's no reason to doubt it), it would grade a 10/10. Their system is based on likelihood of authenticity, right?

Re: May pickups

I believe that the grade is the condition of the graph. there is no grade of authentication, it's either authentic or not. At least thats what I think....

I guess the auto could've been given a score of 9. I just assumed it was referring to the bat grade.

Re: May pickups

geez Jeff did you raid the locker room wharehouse at Chase

Was that you checking out the auction table downstairs on Thursday night? I thought it may have been you but I was chasing my kid so I didn't have time to stop. I ended up grabbing the Kelly Johnson helmet that night from the auction though.

sorry that should have been Saturday night, not Thursday.

Re: May pickups

Nice Bats Jeff

Would love to get my hands on one of Goldschmidt's bats

Re: May pickups

In my dreams. I frequently fantasize about saving the GM's kid from being run over in traffic, or something, and him asking me what he can do for me. I'd say, "The key to that room down by the visitor's locker room and the loan of a laundry cart."

No, I just met somebody, through an eBay sale, with some ST connections and a garage full of bats. Update your "Items Wanted" lists, 'cause he may start posting here soon.

As you can probably tell, I love prospects' bats. I get more excited about picking up a Jae Yun Kim or a Paul Goldschmidt than I do about getting another Montero or Drew. I'm hoping that some of these guys end up in the Arizona Fall League in the next year or two, so I can get them signed.

Yeah, I was there Saturday night, and I did stop by the auction table. I wasn't aware that they'd started those up again. I saw that they started the Josh Wilson bat at only $20, and I probably would have put a bid in on that, but I knew that if I did I would be forced by curiosity to come down to the first deck at the end of the sixth inning to see if I'd won, and I didn't want to miss any of the game. In retrospect, a good decision, I think. That was one of the longest nine inning games I've ever seen, but worth the wait.
