Re: August Pick-ups!!

at the auctions in Oakland this weekend I picked up cracked gamers from Hideki Matsui, Coco Crisp and Josh Willingham (got them all signed the next day)

and I also picked up TBC used Conor Jackson (he hit a grand slam during the game) as well as the TBC Michael Taylor (not used because he wasn't on the team) and used jerseys from Mark Ellis and Brad Ziegler.

Glad you like the jersey.

Made a trade with a little cash for this beauty - my favorite basketball player growing up - made SURE I was home on lunch to sign for it. Comes with Grey Flannel LOA

Re: August Pick-ups!!

One of my few pickups this month, and I managed to make them into a display with a style matched baseball card. Circa 1989-1992 (unsure of year, but I have style matches on cards from 1989, 1990, and 1991) Joe Girardi batting gloves.

Re: August Pick-ups!!

While not game worn items, these are some of my August pick ups:
-Minnesota Gophers Insight Bowl rings from 2006, 08, and 09.

-Paul Giel's scholarship plaque and original portrait photo.

-Paul Giel's 1952 Prison Mirror trophy. The Prison Mirror is the oldest prison newspaper in the nation and serves Minnesota prisons (written and published by the inmates). Paul was an All-American in 52 and 53 and the runner up to the 1953 Hiesman and probably should have won it. The plaque, photo, and trophy came from his estate along w/ a number of other items.

-Bernie Bierman's University of Minnesota Hall of Fame plaque.

Always looking to buy Gophers and former Gophers pro jerseys/helmets!

Re: August Pick-ups!!

Attended the Otey Clark estate auction yesterday and picked up a few items but the hats were it for game used. There were a few other game used items such as baseballs and his glove but family members felt they needed to stay in the family and bid accordingly. Oddly enough, they were not interested in the hats.

1941 Moline Plow Boys - Illinois-Indiana-Iowa league
1941 Eau Claire Bears - Northern League

Not sure on the other two. One may be from St Peter Minnesota as he played with them in 1955. Wishing the other would be a St Paul Saints but; 1) he never played with them, and 2) I don't think they ever had a logo with just an "S".

And yes, they are sitting on top of a garbage can. They stink and need to go to the cleaner before coming inside.

Also, thanks to photos I found out that one hat I have of his is not a Louisville Colonels like I was told when purchasing it, rather a 1940 LaCrosse Blackhawks hat.

In total I have seven of his hats. The above mentioned five along with a 1942 Fort Worth Cats (Texas League) and his Red Sox hat.

I would love to see the interiors of these caps! Caps aren't hard to clean once you figure out how. Be careful of older leather sweatbands though. I once had one shrivel up and rip itself right off the cap.
