The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

Picked this 1978 recently (thanks Jay).
One of three "Dave Roberts" to play for the Padres.

RC:

Is that jersey all original? If so, it's a real find. The vast majority of these I have seen over the years were in Wayne Otto's inventory back in the 1990s, and everything he had came from the minor leagues, where the only things not stripped off besides the tags were the padres name and the numbers.

Unfortunately, as with most Padres jerseys during this period, a little restoration was needed. NOB and All Star patch (original) were expertly refinished by Lon Lewis.

On another note . . . I still remember talking to you at a couple Nationals. Thanks for selling me a 1979 White Sox LaMar Hoyt for $180. Man, were those the days.

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

The Padres seem to take one step forward, two steps back when designing their uniforms. Really liked the blue and yellow introduced in the one year 2016 All-Star commemorative homes. Even hoped the grey roads worn during the All-Star game would be the 2017 version. Unfortunately . . . no.

Did pick up a nice Hunter Renfroe recently. Maybe he wore it hitting this mammoth homer.

That HAS to be going back a ways...I haven't set up at a National since the early 1990s and have only attended Nationals held in the Chicago area since the late 1990s.

Nice Renfroe Jersey RC.

You have motivated me to post a Renfroe and Hedges bat.

Getting to be borderline vintage, 2002 Alan Trammell w/ Mike Darr memorial patch. For some reason, a tougher style to obtain.

R.C. man you got that right!! Those blue and yellows were my favorite uniforms of 2016. I think the fact that San Diego really hasn't had much to look at in the uniform category in so many years plays a role. Either way I added one to my collection and they look just as good in person.

Derek Norris game used Rawlings Bat used to hit his 8th HR of 2016 off of Joe Ross.

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

Should be the last pickup for the year (yeah right) Mother's Day Fernando Rodney . . . . Nice match for my Father's Day Rodney.

Game Used Wil Myers Jersey from 6/28/16 where Myers hit a 3 run HR his 18th HR of year.

Are you willing to sell any of these?

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

1989 Alomar.
Glad they added the "S". Wasn't sure if it was Senior, Junior or Roberto.
