2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Not much action on this thread so I thought I'd kick start it by showing what I got signed this past weekend. A few Adams bats that I already had. He really liked to see the bat he had his first 2 HR game with. I picked up a few more this weekend and am hoping one is his 2 HR game against the Reds. You may have heard of the next 2 bats, but the Royer is a local guy. He was number 5 long before it became popular. Molina 2013 WBC Championship game jersey. Yadi is a super nice guy and gave a great signature. Taveras' first Cards BP jersey and road jersey. He was great too, but you can tell his English is not strong. Wong's first 2 Cards jerseys. ST 2012 photomatched to a walkoff hit and 2012 AFL. Will post some more later. I did get one or two Adams things and will put them in the other thread. Fun weekend with an average turnout I thought. The Authentics store was like black Friday when the bat rack and jersey rack were opened! Jeff Scott and I teamed up or we would not have had near the success. It was great to run into a few GUU members also! I think we need to hold a summit next year some evening in the lounge. Takers?

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Are you missing some zeros? This is insane, what kind of players could you get at these prices? Im not a cardinals fan but I collect different teams/players and would love to have a few jerseys from past seasons.

Cardinals Care is clueless when it comes to the value of items. It is definitely a place to find hidden gems, but the quality of items in the store has really varied in recent years. You aren't going to find a Molina jersey, but some of the players that I saw this year were Matt Carpenter, Matt Morris, Larry Walker, and Mark McGwire (from his stint as a coach). Traditionally the store has also been a good place to get the top prospects on the team. I think one year they sold the Arizona Fall League jerseys of Albert Pujols. A couple of the gems I have found in the store include Allen Craig's first spring training jersey and the #90 jersey that David Freese is wearing in all of his rookie cards.

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Cardinals Authentics had regular season bats priced the same as usual, with postseason bats going for up to $1000 (Molina $750, Beltran $1000, Holliday $600-50). Postseason/WS jerseys went up to around $600. Regular season jerseys went up to I believe $500. Not a ton of big names, but I saw a Matt Carpenter, Adams, Craig, Jay, Wong, and more. There may have been more jerseys as well that I missed.

Really bummed i couldnt go. Would have loved to pick up a Craig Jersey.

Next year hopefully!

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Steal of the show was a Molina WS road with tar on the shoulder in the rack with the rest for 500. Crazy!

And in the silent auction was a Molina bat black LS I13L from 04/05 with 41 on the knob uncracked and signed. Went for 1200 in a bid off. It was beyond sweet.

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Here is my main 2014 WWU purchase ...

2013 David Freese Regular/Postseason Set 1 Alternate Jersey

The jersey shows moderate use with light tar staining on the shoulders, snags, and wash wear.

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

H_david, thanks for the info about the hat. I'm sorry to hear the story behind it was a sad one. :\ I appreciate the info, though!

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

That's INCREDIBLE. I was at the front of the line and went for a Piscotty ticket. Needless to say, mistakes were made.

jscott, please contact me about the MCarp jerseys, if you'd like. I'm sure you've seen he's my favorite player. once again, congrats on owning the morning!
