Re: Official Chicago White Sox GU

Your always getting sweet inscriptions. I don't think this guy deals with items like this very often. Super high reserve prices and your right the hat doesn't look used at all. Seriously it's a spring training jersey. This is the 3rd time he has listed the jerseys. He has had to of lost over $100 on reserve prices already. I'm not bidding this time and let's see if it gets past $50.

Yea the jersey is real and I think it is st used , just saying I don't think the hat was worn by a player because it has a retail sticker on it

Finally found an Adam Eaton bat but can only style match it. I think its from spring training of last year.

Daniel Wagner bat. It was sold to me as game used, but I really have no reason to believe that it was. I actually picked it up for a friend, then realized it'd cost $80 to ship to Asia. Decided to just keep it.

Im suprised he already has a bat with the white sox engraving. The sox have alot of these guys that can run. I think he has had 30 sb's a few years now in the minors. Its going to be hard for some of these guys to come up with so many at the same position. wagner, micah johnson, sanchez , Tim Anderson and davidson along with whats already been brought up in semien and luery garcia.

I got it at the end of 2011, if I recall. The team engraving is available to any player on the 40-man roster, from my understanding. I guess if he were in extended ST in 2011, that would explain how he got the White Sox bat. He's has decent speed with a below avg bat and below avg defense. That combination makes him a decent MI... or a potential pitcher conversion. Of course, he seems to care more about his music career than baseball, so who knows?

how do game used baseballs hold up over time? stay the same, get worse?

I haven't noticed any change so far. I see more changes in my new signed balls then used. I haven't had a used ball bleed or fade yet.

In theory, they should hold signatures better than brand new balls. The reason is game used balls are rubbed down by umpires before the game. Add to that the scuffs that occur during the game, and most of the shiny coating is worn away. Additionally, the worn leather (of a game used baseball) might do a better job of absorbing/adhering the inks to begin with.

By contrast, a retail ball (basically, the majority of OMLB, OAL, ONL balls) would have whatever surface the balls are treated with. Also, being a new leather surface, it's possible that the leather will take longer to absorb the inks. That could lead to smearing or fading over time.

Got my first glove today and also checked off the top of my grail list. Chris Sale Glove from 2012. Shows lots of wear in the pocket.

Sweet sale glove! Don't know yet if I want to get into game used baseballs, I guess I just like the look of nice clean baseballs signed on the sweet spot lol if anything I could see myself maybe getting a used signed baseball if it's an actual hit or strikeout or something but not just a random used batting practice signed ball
