Love the Hamilton bat, much better than the pictures showed on the auction site. GREAT pick up!

Thanks, even better in person! Just wish he didn't remove his handle tape following the break

Added a couple items of the Reds exciting rookie Billy Hamilton....his 2013 MLB Debut / 1st MLB Steal helmet and also a 2014 GU bat broken on a single off of Strasburg...loved the color!

Awesome Gretzky stick... Would live to see a pic of all of them, and how you display them.

Here you go. 1987 Edmonton stick on top; 1994 Kings stick below that; 1996 Blues stick below that; and a 1997 Rangers stick below that. At bottom is a signed 1996-97 Silvertip (blade is retail, not sure about the shaft). Attached to the wall using hardware from Breakaway Displays.

I've been trying to acquire a Wayne Gretzky game-used stick from each of his four teams. I was missing only the Edmonton stick until I found this one, used in 1987. I like the St. Louis connection; it was given to late Blues' GM Ron Caron and his family.

Went looking for a bat but ended up with this gem! To top it off i picked up another one 4 days later. Will be posting pics of that one later in the week.
