Sunday at the Dbacks game I picked up this Wade Miley bat from the auction.
Mike, buddy...I have to be honest. Had I been at that game, you might still have gotten the bat, but I would have been greatly tempted to make you pay a little more for it. A Miley bat is currently at the top of my Want list.
its the first one I have seen for sale ever. I had to spend a bunch for it and play the timing game to win it.
For those that don't know the auctions at Chase run through the last out of the 6th inning or 2 hours whichever comes first. there was one minute left in the 2 hour time limit as I wrote down my bid and a lady was in the process writing another bid when the last out was made in the 6th. She thought she had won but I politely notified the people working the desk that she wasn't done writing her bid down when the last out was made so I won the auction.
I think its a stupid way to run an auction and have seen it cause arguments in the past but whatever. I purposely overbid on the bat hoping it would scare her away and it didn't.
Pretty happy with this 2004 Marcus Giles Braves helmet. To make room, will be posting in the for sale section shortly Marcus's 2007 Padres game used helmet - loaded with pine tar, multiple photo matches and likely his last MLB helmet.
One of my grail items. Finally landed a game used Ian Kinsler jersey. Had to bail on a couple of other items I was bidding on to land this. The MLB holo states it was worn in ALCS Game 6 and both World Series Games 5 & 6. The tag inside makes it look like it was used in ALCS Game 2 as well.
Here's my souvenir from the ASG FanFest in KC yesterday, Oscar Taveras' Futures Game worn cap. Oscar is the Cardinals' top prospect. MLB was selling authenticated balls from the Home Run Derby and had a few caps from the Futures Game. I assume most items from the Futures Game will be auctioned on MLB.com; the only caps they had were George Brett, the KC prospects and Taveras. When we left around 4 p.m., only the Brett cap remained ($750 price tag could be why it didn't sell).

About what time did you buy that? A guy bought a Futures game hat right in front of me yesterday at FanFest... didn't see which hat he bought though. Price definitely kept me away from the Brett hat. Did you go to the Hunt Auction? Hope you had a nice visit to KC.
