I also received this ball hit for a single by Rays' prospect Leonardo Reginatto in the game vs. Cuba.

Did anyone purchased any 2013 WBC memorabilia?

Today I received Brazil's Andre Rienzo jersey from MLB Auctions. Growing up in Brazil I had no idea that one day it would have players playing baseball professionally, much less in the big game.

I noticed that the design of the 2013 WBC jerseys is the same as the 2012 All Star Game BP jerseys, and the fabric feels/looks the same as well, clearly different than the regular season jerseys. The design looks like this year's Spring Training jerseys as well. Did anyone noticed that as well?

Prices way to high to start with for me. But I know i'm a cheapskate so even if they where halved i'd waiver. Will just have to wait 4 years for prices to resemble 2009 gear!

I got a email from Highland Mint for the locker tags! I had to laugh at their prices, Ive bought two GU Jerseys of a well known player for less than what they wanted for Molina's or Beltran's locker plate!

Re: WBC GU Items thru Highland Mint...

Their prices are crazy they started at $750 then dropped to $499 then $299 and that's still way too much. MLB just auctioned a bunch of plates from the 09 WBC and nice ones Chipper, Pedroia, McCann and they only went for in the $75-100 range.

The jersey I wanted was $1250 no thanks

Re: WBC GU Items thru Highland Mint...

Just my opinion, but the price on the name plate is outlandish. $350 still seems astronomical. If there is the possibility you will ever need/want to get the money back out of the items, The price on that would need to be a lot lower.

Jessica,

Looks like pine tar to me. Might be on both shoulders because he may have rested the bat on the opposite shoulder in the on deck circle?

That is one jersey non-USA that I thought about bidding on. But I am trying to save funds for Murph/Braves purchases!

I didn't want to start a new WBC thread so I thought I would post this here. I am interested in purchasing this Prado jersey, but could someone tell me what is that staining on both shoulders? Is it pine tar? He always uses a lot of tar which gets on his jerseys, but I don't know if this is pine tar.

Go to MLB.com and find the auctions... somewhere on there will be a link for the Highland Mint--they are one of the vendors on contract with MLB.

Re: WBC GU Items thru Highland Mint...

I've been talking to a guy named Kirk at HM. I'm after a low end Team USA player and was told jerseys would be between $750-$1000. I'm very willing to pay a premium for a WBC jersey but that is kinda crazy. I offered $400 for a home jersey, $400 for an away jersey, $200 for the Warmup jersey, and $100 for the nameplate. I'm fairly confident they will not accept but that is as far as I'm comfortable going.

Re: WBC GU Items thru Highland Mint...

I purchased one of Gerardo Parra's 2009 WBC Team Venezuela jerseys from Highland a couple of years ago for $350. Like to get one from this year, as well, but only if it's priced similarly. Of course I'd also be happy to pull down one of the Bloomquist, Bell or Hernandez Team USA jerseys, but suspect all the US items are going to be priced pretty high.

They were selling and auctioning some items here at Chase Field over the weekend, to benefit Diamondbacks Charities, including a GU base from the U.S.-Mexico game. (They started the bidding at $500 - not sure what the sale price was.) For the time being, I'm happy to have picked up a Ryan Vogelsong-pitched ball from the US-Italy game for fifty bucks.
