Re: May pick-ups

Just a heads up sorry for the dark and grainy picture but I got all this in one week

From top to bottom:A line up card from the friso roughriders game, the ball in the case is a Jurickson Profar strike out, the ball next to it is a Mike olt warm up ball, Next is a Edison Rincon bat with the LVS logo, And the last bat is an unknown bat that i just traded 2 baseballs and a line up card for the bat

Re: May pick-ups

I have a somewhat similar story, I bought a lineup card from the Reds somewhat arbitrarily a few years back and it ended up being from former Reds pitcher Matt Maloney's first career start

Nothing too earth shattering but still kinda cool and not a bad deal for $10

Re: May pick-ups

The extra surprise is always a plus...I once bought a GU MLB hologrammed baseball on eBay that was sold as just a normal game ball from a Mets/Braves tilt...it turned out to be used in the game where Craig Kimbrel (
NL ROY the following season) notched his first career save.

Congrats on your pleasant "surprise".

Very cool story it's always nice when good fortune smiles upon you.

Re: May pick-ups

Its been a while since I added a game used item to my collection and I am unsure if this qualifies. I went to the Mariners Angels game thursday night and stopped by the team shop. They were having a sale of Game Used Lineup Cards for 50.00. I had always wanted one and 50.00 seemed reasonable. I searched through over 100 of them. I picked one from Sept 24, 2008 because it was a game that Felix Hernandez pitched and Ichiro, Guerrero, Hunter, Anderson, and Teixeira played. My choice of this card was essentially arbitrary as I had no idea of the outcome of the game. I went online to check the box score. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the lineup card was from the game in which Francisco RodrÃguez recorded his MLB record 62nd save. I doubt it's terribly valuable but I think it's unique and potentially worth more than the 50.00 I have invested in it.

Re: May pick-ups

Ouch, I hate it esp when a GUU member purchases something like this. Mickey is correct, this jersey is not legit. I spotted this MJ jersey in HA's auction site a month ago and knew right away the spacing on the front and NOB placement made this a dud. Even with any LOA from the Nets, I don't care! I also corresponded with another MJ jersey collector, who is also a member on here, and also confirmed my thoughts.

I've often found in the last 3 or so yrs that when there's MJ "game worn" jerseys on HA's auction site, I've emailed Mike there and explained to him my reasoning on why they are mostly duds. I got yelled at the first time for mentioning them on this forum without emailing them first, so from that point on I email them and respectively and nicely, try to point out the problems. Most of the time they keep the jersey in their auction citing a Lampson or some other LOA as "proof" and I just go on my merry way. I've done my due diligence and it's their prerogative if they decide to keep the auction piece in there.

Again, I really wish auction houses would get over this "LOA" thing and stop trusting them 100% and do ZERO due diligence on their end. But I'm sure they are busy with auction setup/etc, but I think it's worth it in the end to all collectors and the hobby.

Good luck my friend!

Nicknac,, there were some questionable Lakers shirts that have are presently there and in the past.... some of these have sold and than miraculously listed in a national auction,,whom i wont name.
