The one game used item you wish you never sold.

Re: The one game used item you wish you never sold.

The only item I can think of that I actually miss is an unwashed MLB authenticated, signed Jair Jurrjens 2011 home jersey, worn & collected from his July 1st start which was the best of his career: a complete game 1-hit shutout. I needed the money though so I let it go and I did get a good price for it but I knew from the beginning that I'll miss that jersey!

Just remember collectors never SELL... you may wanna debate that comment but i believe it...

disagree with that, sometimes you have no choice. i have no selling regrets. ive sold a few items but only to acquire items i wanted more and otherwise wouldnt be able to afford. i am a massive tim duncan fan. last spring meigray procured a duncan home jersey and i had to have it. unfortunately i was tapped out at the time so i sold an eli manning jersey i had to cover the purchase. i like eli alot but tim is my favorite basketball player so i had to have it and i was willing to trade off a jersey i cared less about for it.

Well, considering the recent events that took place in St Louis, it would be this one:

Back in the late 80's/ early 90's Mcgwire used to carry game used stuff out to his car to hand out for those of us standing there waiting for autographs. Over the course of that time I acquired 2 bats, a pair of cleats and a couple of batting gloves. Sold em all my junior year of high school so I could by some great seats to the Metallic/Gun's N Roses concert.

Sounds to me like it was worth it, unless you held on and sold them in the late
90's. That might have gotten you backstage passes.

Awesome... I went to the Metallica + Guns N Roses concert in what 1992? 1993? Cannot recall, but it was at Arrowhead Stadium in KC.

Though I'm with ya, I'd rather have the Mac bats.

How much were the tickets that you had to give up all that stuff for them? I saw Metallica once and it was like 70 bucks for floor.

I forget how much they were its been awhile, I know that i had 4 seats 2nd row center for the concert (had to act like the bigwig to impress a girl you know how that goes, and yes that did work out wink wink)

Actually went to both concerts, the second day was the one where Axl got nailed in the nuts by a lighter thrown from the stands

I would killed for that free stuff as a 9 year old.

He continued that trend. When he played in the mid 90's before the 50 HR seasons and remember there was no eBay , finding GU stuff of his while living across the US in NJ was impossible. Thanks to Tuff Stuff magazine , in 1994 or 1995 I was able to pick up a signed Game Model A's bat from the Man of Steel Sports store whom was from California. I remember getting that bat in the mail and boy was it epic lol. I paid 139$ which was from saving up from birthdays and holidays. I shoulda sold that in 98' and I think I woulda cleaned up.

Re: The one game used item you wish you never sold.

I sold a Juan Gonzalez Game Used Glove in order to pick up an Alex Rodriguez Game Used item I desprately wanted. At the time, it didn't think twice about selling it. However, couple years later, I regretted it, as it was the only piece that I owed of Juan's that he personal signed pics for me of the glove, and also sent me a peronal letter. I was a big Juan Gonzalez collector before Arod.

Perfect time for this thread to come back. I sold my Eli Manning jersey over the summer, I am not a Giants fan at all but I would have made alot more off it now then I did then.
