Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Here's an update on the Wong bat. It is not authenticated to any particular game so I started looking at games starting from the WS and going backward. I can say that this bat was used for all 3 of Kolten's NLCS ABs for sure. Unfortunately, he didn't get a hit with it. In looking at his two NLDS ABs he was using a tan barrel/maroon handle (reverse of this bat) for those, and then used that same bat for his only WS appearance and hit. I'm guessing he still has that bat, and if he didn't keep it, it may show up in the team store next year if he breaks it in ST.

Nice match. Spot on!

Great match on the Wong bat.. I hope to add a Kolten Wong jersey to my collection one day.

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Here is my 2013 Yadier Molina bat I picked up at the Winter Warm Up. Its MLB Authenticated to being broken during NLCS Game 3, but has a ton of use on it.

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Here are the two Wong pickups. The jersey is his reg season with the team added patch. It shows some wear on the front with a few snags. The bat has an early Aug build date and based on the #4 and #16 on the knob was brought with him when he was called up so would be one of his first bats used. Will try to match it later. Anybody else got anything to add to this thread?

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Hahah, yeah someone showed me that. Yes, my hand and bats. The one I am handing to him is the bat he used in his first 2HR game. He really liked seeing that one. Guess I have to get rid of all of his #53 stuff now.....next year he is taking #32. Any takers?

I'll take the Creme Alternate...

Re: 2014 Cardinals WWU thread

Here's my Adams haul for the weekend. Both jerseys are issued and show no wear. The alternate is a Set 3, and there was one other one on the rack. I also know Matt kept the gamer. Don't know if that means MLB made 3 sets total for each player. The top bat is WS gm 4, but I know it was also used in other games. Will post some matches later. The bottom bat is a 2012 true rookie bat.

Great pick ups! I especially like the rookie gamer...

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

Nice jerseys!

I think I've been able to photomatch my Freese jersey to both a September 7th home run and an NLCS game against the Dodgers. Both the 2 and the 3 on the front of the jersey have been sewn on crooked. The top of the two along with the bottom of the 3 lead me to believe I have a match. In addition, I believe players were only issued two alternate jerseys during the 2013 season/postseason along with a different jersey for a "Jersey off the Back" game in June as well as WS game 3.
