July pick-ups

Re: July pick-ups

Picked up this absolutely hammered Adrian Gonzalez Trinity bat recently and judging by the game use it must have been a favorite of his.

The bat was used almost the entire month of May and retired after suffering a slight upper handle crack, either Gonzalez or a club house person wrote "Early May 2011" on the knob.

I'm not done yet but so far I photo matched the bat to a HR on May 6, 2011, it was Adrian's 3rd home run of the season and his 2nd HR at Fenway park, also his first ever home run over the "Green Monster" wall in left field as a Red Sox player: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=14527387

Also photo matched the bat to a game on May 11, 2011 vs. Blue Jays in which he hit his 7th HR of the season and on May 16, 2011 he hit a walk off game winning double in the bottom of the 9th vs. Orioles.

Thanks, Bobby

Re: July pick-ups

I just got the biggest and best pickup I'll probably ever have in my entire life:

All of these jerseys are signed, MLB authenticated, and unwashed!

Chipper Jones game worn 2011 jersey. I already photomatched this jersey to every home game in 2011 leading up to July 1st (this past friday). He wore this jersey for his 2,500th hit on Opening Day, as well as his 1,500th RBI in May, and a few homeruns as well.

Jair Jurrjens game worn 2011 jersey, worn while pitching a complete game one-hitter on July 1st, 2011.

Freddie Freeman game worn 2011 jersey. I love the dirt stains on the front on this one.

Jason Heyward game worn 2011 jersey


I'm still working on photomatches for every jersey besides the Chipper. I already know I'll have plenty of matches for each one since I can use my own photos for photomatching

Oh wow....

Marion Barber 2009 game used jersey and shoes from 09 or 2010. Purchased from a source who bought them from the Cowboys team store. The jersey shows nice use as do the shoes. Two more fine additions to the former Gophers collection.

Re: July pick-ups

They'll go under the bed in my Marion Barber game used equipment bag with my other 3 Barber gamers and the other 20 odd former Gophers jerseys I've picked up since my move to the beach last year. I've got zero room to display anything in my condo so will have to wait till I buy another house next year back in Minnesota, or Michigan, or wherever I wind up.

Minnesota Gophers early 90s Gophers helmet worn by star RB/FB Tony Carter. Tony went on to play HB for the Bears, Pats, Broncos, and Packers. The Gophers only used award decals for one season and this is the only known surviving example with award decals that I'm aware of. I've owned it for about 2 years after purchasing it from long time Gopher collector, U of M athletics volunteer, and friend Pete Chubb, but just had it shipped down to me from my partner's place in St. Paul.

Re: July pick-ups

Traded my PS3 for these beauties...decided to let the jerseys sit in my man cave and collect dust (well, no dust down here so the "saying" is just that), as opposed to the PS3!

I grabbed career baseball #1779 at the Cell Tuesday evening during Royals BP (Mike Moustakas BP home run). Still hoping to reach 1800 by season's end.

90-98% REAL laker stuff out there dating back to the late 70's, can be sourced back to Dan

Dan gets so many bad raps thrown his way by the haters. The other so-called leaders(neednt name names) in Laker game used stuff recieve all their inventory 3rd to 4th down the food chain,which all originated from Dan. And the stuff they get are just the scraps left over... ie/ game worn shoes of common players at best

Re: July pick-ups

Finally was able to get it closed on the Al Cowens glove. I think its from his Mariners years around 83-84, but he also used the same style with the Royals back in 1977-80. Hoping to research some more once I have it in hand. Heck, he may have used it for several years... Hopefully I will know more in a week or two.
