Re: October 2014 Pickups

A few other pickups from earlier this year that I never had time to post. A very cool Boog Powell gamer attributed to his 1970 AL MVP season and Orioles 2nd World Series victory that was originally sourced through a Yankees visiting team bat boy with a full LOA. This bat was obtained from the collection of another forum member (thanks Ben) and was signed in Baltimore back in June.

The second bat is another Ripken that I never thought I would see again. I was forced to sell several years back again to another forum member who made me a promise if he ever decided to sell he would give me 1st dibs. True to his word again (thanks Nick) I was able to obtain this back again very early this year. It was originally sourced through the collection of Dave Bushing some years ago. One of the earliest known Ripken bats a 1981 Rochester Redwings bat that there was an authentication glitch on when originally authenticated by MEARS some years back. I shipped it back to Troy at MEARS and he graciously fixed the errors and regraded the bat a A9.5. A tremendous example of a very early career minor league Ripken bat.

Very happy to have re-obtained that Ripken and for the opportunity to pick up a fantastic Boog Powell gamer.

Thanks to both of these gentlemen for allowing me to pick these up

Just received a baseball that Felix Hernandez plunked Miguel Cabrera with. Thinking of trying to get Cabrera to personalize it with "Ouch!"

Re: October 2014 Pickups

Goes down as the weirdest item I've ever purchased, but after kicking tires on these for last couple months I pulled trigger for a really nice price...2007 Texas Bowl "Gift" customized for then Freshman QB of TCU, Texas Bowl MVP Andy Dalton. The Texas Bowl custom boots were voted by SI as the most "outrageous" Bowl Game gift for the 2007 Bowl Series.

Re: October 2014 Pickups

I have not posted in some time both of these items were picked up back in the summer a very nice Brooks Robinson gamer from what may have been a WS year in 1970 and I was able to reacquire this fantastic Ripken which I was forced to sell several years ago and I never thought I would see it again. It came originally from another forum member with a very cool story on how it was originally acquired after BP from Cal directly in his rookie of the year season in 1982.

Very happy to be able to add both into my collection.

Re: October 2014 Pickups

Glad to complete a set with my latest pickup. Zoilo Almonte's jersey and pants from Mariano Rivera's final game on September 26, 2013. I already had his hat from the game, so very happy to put everything together.

Interesting part, the jersey is dated 2011 and would possibly have been issued to Jesus Montero. It shows minimal use as pretty obvious it was used in one game only.

The pants show nice use and have numbers in the waist blacked out a couple times.
