Re: April 2015 Pickups

Was that on the rack inside or did you have to ask the guy if he had any? Dont remember seeing a cespedes when i went monday. So wondering whether they ever put out good bats or if people have to ask. Thanks

Yes this was on the rack. There were a few Ortiz and Pedroia unused game models, a Jonathan Herrera, Johnny Gomes, game used, amongst a few others I can't remember. Christian Vazquez maybe? Also snagged a Jose Iglesias BP jersey, authenticated as issued but clearly worn.

Re: April 2015 Pickups

Picked up this Chandler Cespedes bat at the Sox game last night. MLB Hologram says it was used August 17th 2014 vs the Astros. Cespedes went 1 for 4 so I'll have to do some research to find out when/how he broke it. Really like the neon grip and the excessive pine tar.

Re: April 2015 Pickups

Haha! I actually have the bat he used to hit those two home runs

And the jersey worn during that game was sold in last October's Goldin Auction. Maybe a forum member bought it.

Re: April 2015 Pickups

2014 Giancarlo Stanton game used cleats.
There's an excellent chance these were worn during a 2 home run game against the Dodgers on May 4, but I need to research it more now that I have them in hand.

Re: April 2015 Pickups

Seanbaseball, is that Rip Collins signature on the bat the original paint or ink or whatever they used? Man, that sig really stands out. For something that old, it looks great.

I believe it is. In person its not as perfect but still very nice

Re: April 2015 Pickups

These 3 bats were used by the player and sent to Xbat to be used to make their own Xbat model. Hence the information on the tape and the writing on the Pudge barrel. Pretty cool bats.

2004 Jeff Bagwell
2003 Pudge Rodriguez (says "34-31 1/2 NO cup, black)
Rafael Palmeiro

Re: April 2015 Pickups

I picked up a couple of bats at the A's in game auctions over the weekend.

Chilli Davis, I guess you would call a coaches bat team issued, AXIS bat
Vernon Wells Maiucci bat, MLB Auth as team issued as it was collected at the end of last year

Re: April 2015 Pickups

Alex Gordon rookie year game used/worn cap. I think there is a photo-match in the grime on the bill, but I need to spend some more time on it...

I'm no expert on photo-matching, but that last photo is looking pretty good for it.

Re: April 2015 Pickups

Picked up game used fielding gates they reused padding and netting but have all the frames from first and third. Here is gates in background the piece shown is stopper piece with camera leaning up against it.
Not exactly sure where to put these very large items but couldn't see them being scrap.

Re: April 2015 Pickups

Headed to the Louisville Slugger factory over spring break and anyone who has been there knows they have a massive pile of "error" bats in the gift shop. I thought all of them were just retail type bats, but at the bottom sticking out was one with a name plate. After nearly knocking all the bats over I pulled out a Quentin Berry bat intended for the 2012 World Series. Not anything special, but very unique being tied to the world series.

I am no expert but I assume this was indeed intended for him(everything looks right)...until the burning machine had a seizure that is.

I bet tigerdale would be interested in owning this...
