Re: 2012 Cardinals Winter Warm Up

I am sure these jerseys will show great use like Jeff said since they were used during the regular season but were they worn during the World Series?

I sent Pat an email with the same question yesterday and here's the reply he sent.

----------------

Rick:

All of the jerseys were used at some point during the season and were
washed numerous times and some show signs of wear such as snags,
stains, pilling and fading of stitching. Our club almost always places
postseason patches (if applicable) on existing uniforms rather than
purchasing new ones for a series. The clubhouse tells me these were used
in the World Series but I cannot attest to that and none are MLB
authenticated as game-used in the WS or otherwise. They are all
authenticated as 'Team Issued' with only general information because
they were done after the fact and the authenticator did not see them
come directly off of the player's back.

I hope this helps.

Pat

Re: 2012 Cardinals Winter Warm Up

I have two jerseys from the last online auction that was against the Cubs 9/23. Skip jersey 6 and Jay jersey 6 neither show much use. They still have inspector tags on the laundry label. Which leads me to believe they may have been wore that one game. I am sure these jerseys will show great use like Jeff said since they were used during the regular season but were they worn during the World Series? I am sure these jerseys will demand high prices due to the fact they may have been worn during the series. I am hoping Pat will be able to add some information to this question. I hope Pat does not get too tired of all of our questions this weekend! I am very sure we will keep him busy all weekend but we love him!

Re: 2012 Cardinals Winter Warm Up

I have seen Jeff's post and the tv program. That was one of the reasons for the post. It just does not make sense that they would be set 1. I know in Sept they were all on like set 11 or 13. Jeff, any thoughts on this? I will be at the WWU this weekend and will post the question to Pat Daly who runs the Authentics store.

How many at auction actually are set 1? I didn't count that many. And it's not like everyone was on set 11 or 13 -- on 9/24 at jersey off the back day, Albert's shirt was set 9 and Yadi was set 4. Those are guys who probably get more shirts than other players. I'd have no problem buying a set 1. The couple jerseys on top of the stacks I saw exhibited very good wear.

If the Cards go through that many jerseys, what happens to all of them? Are they all sold to collectors? Do any of the jerseys show much use?

I am genuinely curious, because it's hard for me to fathom going through that many jerseys.

Re: 2012 Cardinals Winter Warm Up

The Cardinals did not order new jerseys for the World Series. They sent regular season jerseys to a company to have the series patches sewn on. Go to Birdbats sight Oct 18th and look at the segment that was aired on a local news broadcast.

I didn't know that information. I assumed they just made new ones. That does make it odd that they are low set numbers.

Re: 2012 Cardinals Winter Warm Up

Probably set one for the WS. I'm sure it starts over. And although it says issued, the description states that they show signs of wear. I do know all the bat from the store just say issued. Probably because the MLB authenticates wasn't there to watch them actually be used. Just my .02

Re: 2012 Cardinals Winter Warm Up

Here's a question for anyone. Most of these jerseys are "Set 1". I know for a fact that late in the season a lot of players were on "Set 13" jerseys. Are these just extra gamers from the season with the WS patch added or did the team order for the WS start over with 'Set 1"? I notice the descriptions do not say anything about them being "worn in the WS" and as Jeff pointed out they have not been authenticated as such. Anybody have any ideas?

OK, I just realized it says "issued" and authenticated, but I do not see any MLB stickers on them. Anyone know why these are "set 1". That is the confusing part for me.

There are some WS jerseys on MLB.com Auctions. Here is the Berkman: http://auction.mlb.com/cgi-bin/ncomm...nbr=174059736.

Re: 2012 Cardinals Winter Warm Up

Sorry for all the questions, but did you see prices?

No.

Re: 2012 Cardinals Winter Warm Up

Those bats are not for auction. The Authentics Store and Cardinals Care are separate entities, so if Authentics has them, they intend to sell them. The Furcal and Molina bats were cracked, but didn't seem to be destroyed.

Re: 2012 Cardinals Winter Warm Up

Jeff, I wonder if some of those bigger bats are for the silent auctions?

I'm also curious if the Furcal/Molina bats were badly destroyed or if they were in decent shape?
