That is a gorgeous Chargers' jersey, Jdon64. Congrats on one heck of a pickup!

Re: February 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

Just picked up an AFL San Diego Chargers Jersey with quite a bit of Chargers history. This was worn by Orlando Ferrante during the 1961 season. This was their inaugural season in San Diego having just moved from LA after one year. The Jersey was worn for all season home games, winning the 1st western division in SD and worn for the AFL Championship that was played in San Diego's Balboa Stadium at the end of the season. This is the first ever AFL/NFL Football Championship played in SD. As you can see it was incredibly preserved for 53 years. It was stored in total darkness which helped it retain the rich original luster of the Gold and Blue team colors with little to no fading after all these years.

Glad the road jersey was a nice fit/match for you, always nice having a personal connection to an item! I just added this jersey yesterday...game used Los Rojos worn during 5/11 & 9/27 games by Frazier (hit 19th HR during 9/27 game). Always wanted the style and happy to grab his for decent price.

Great looking jersey. I gave it a thought but decided to just focus on other items of his. Nice addition!

Thanks! I agree on him being a class act. I went to Pittsburgh with a couple of friends and we were heading to the bars well before game time. We were walking down the sidewalk (wearing our Reds gear) and someone popped their head out of a car window and yelled LETS GO REDS! It was Todd Frazier.

Got to the game and had really good seats and he came over and said hello and took a pic with us. Couldn't have been a nicer guy. Ended up landing the jersey he wore while we were in Pitt a few weeks ago and since then I've bought a ton of his stuff. Now I'm just hoping he doesn't leave or get traded anytime soon!

Posted this in another thread looking for photo matching help through MLBTV since I have used Getty and AP images so far. Through that was able to see it in a game from July 25th because of the tar on the SAM logo.

1982 David Overstreet - Montreal Concordes CFL Helmet - Photomatched to a Concordes Magazine Cover.

Overstreet a former Oklahoma Sooner Running Back under Barry Switzer was drafted in the 1st Round - 13th Overall pick in the 1981 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. A contract dispute sent him to the CFL, prior to returning to Miami in 1983.

Just realized I could have just posted in the photomatch section but got carried away! If offended, please delete and I will post there.

Couple more photos of the Frazier glove in action.

Re: February 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

Pretty stoked about my latest pickup. I was planning on waiting a few days until I get a few other items but thought I'd post this now.

Todd Frazier's game used glove from 2012.
Its hard not to find a match when looking at photos from 2012. Also matches 5 of his baseball cards as well.

Will try to upload better pics when a few other Frazier items arrive!

Nice match on the Verlander!!!

Getting quality images to match threads like that can be tough.
