Official Chicago White Sox GU

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Dropped by the Cell today to pick-up my 2012 Alejandro De Aza Sunday Home Games worn 1972 Throwback Majestic Coolbase Jersey from MLB Auctions.

I have to say this style is one of my All-Time Favorites as it takes me back to when I first started watching the Sox's & by judging prices realized in this Auction its a favorite style of many others also.

I love that jersey as well. Are you going after a Pierzynski, while you're at it?

Yeah - I'm also a fan of that jersey style.

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

This 4 me personally was the real prize of the last Sox MLB Auction a 2012 A.J. Pierzynski 72 Throwback batting helmet.

Being as A.J. is 1 of my All-Time Favorite Sox's & this could very well have been his last year with them, not to mention it being a career year for him I had 2 add this piece to my A.J. Gear.

Congrats on that AJ helmet; I was wondering if a forum member won it. It is a pretty awesome piece, so I am glad that a true fan snagged it. Those '72 throwbacks go for quite a pretty penny. Enjoy it!

Ron, That A.J. Collection is Sweet! I didn't know you had some of his equipment as well. Great Display!

Cant wait to get my hands on one. Your Right, these prices are crazy. At least the money spent is going to a good cause.

The '72 DeAza with all the pics makes it even more sick

Nice Pick Ups!

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Nooo!

Yeah, I couldn't believe they went for so much; I was hoping you would be able to pick one up. But $900+ seems absolutely crazy for a non-HOFer helmet, even with MLB authentication.

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Anybody win the 1972 throwback batting helmets that were on MLB.com Auctions? Both the Pierzynski and the Youkilis went for $900+. They were awesome but quite expensive.

Nooo!

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Agreed! They definitely went for a nice penny. I had interest in the Beckham jersey. For those of you that are interested, here is some info I received from Sox charity auctions and self research.

- Some players wore both knit and cool base the 13 games. Two sets may be available. Looks like knit was worn April-June and CB June-til last home game Sunday Sept 30th.

-Sunday April 15th game was Jackie Robinson Day. Some players wore #42

-Jerseys worn the last home game Sept 30th are unwashed and authenticated that day under MLB database as game used. Not sure about the other set the player wore it its unwashed. Again some players had two sets.

-Some jerseys, if not all are tagged 1972 ## S1 or S2

If anybody else can add to that please do!

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Sad to see the season end the way it did...but I'm glad for the friends I made on the team. A couple more pickups from those friends on the team:

Jake Peavy game used cleats. I'm a big fan of Peavy's since his Padre days...one of the good guys in baseball. I always wanted a pair of his exclusive cleats in my collection, and he happily obliged my collection. The initials BP on the toungue of in honor of his grandfather, Blanche Peavy. Inside the tongue, are the initials JPWPJP, for his three sons, Jake, Wyatt and Judson. Then he has his number 44 embroidered on the back side of the shoes. These cleats have become a favorite in my collection!



Gordon Beckham game used cleats:

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

The 2012 season is complete for the Sox. The unfortunate Collapse has taken place for the SouthSiders this season, but collecting still goes on.

Sticking to the Sunday jerseys. Another Must have gamer in my Sox collection. 2001 Ray Durham 1917 100 year American League commemorative jersey.

2001 was Durham's last full season with the Sox. An exceptional lead off hitter for the White Sox. His last three years on the Soth Side, had him at least 15HR, 20 Steals, 100 Runs, 65RBI's and 450 Slugging %. He holds the White Sox Lead off HR at 20.

Style match at best for this Commemorative jersey. Placement of left sleeve American Flag Patch to Majestic logo.

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Thanks Frikativ54

Its probably my favorite modern day jersey due to style/player and I was lucky enough to get it from BPH back in 2008.

Yeah, it's certainly unique, and I love all the colors. Enjoy the jersey!

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Sick, Sick and More Sick! Thats a Sweet trifecta Ron. Gonna have to add more Konerkos to my collection to keep up!

[frikativ54]

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

The centerpiece of my Konerko gamers still has to be this Set #1, 1917 Throwback which was worn on all Sunday home games back in 2001.

I love the throwback; it looks great.

Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Thanks Ron! I wouldn't doubt if that was Konerko's only vest that year. It seems he doesn't wear a ton of jerseys all year round. Solid match to the pic Lakeerie92 posted. Nice!

Nice score & photo matches as always on your 2008 PK.

Since we are the subject of PK thought I would show one of my personal modern day style favorites from one of the cornerstones to my Konerko collection this 2007 Set #1 Vest.

Someday I will put in the leg work and photo match it !
