2008 Matt Holliday GU Jersey

Found this on eBay and have some very nice Photomatches on it already. Was used to hit at least 3 HRs, including a grand slam and his last HR as a Rockie.

Received this Matt Thornton Game Used Memorial Day Jersey from this year, along with his hat from that game today. Love the way these look in person.

Nice Wallach.

I'm not big on the increasing number of gimmicks, but what can you do... as listed above, I got my first Memorial Day jersey, which also looks good in person. I like the look of yours as well.

Tim Wallach Dodger Jersey from Memorial Day 2015. I can't stand these gimmicks by MLB, but my OCD outweighs my disdain. It actually looks much nicer in hand than it does on tv.

I was at that game and saw those in person and commented then on how great they look. You are going to hate that they are doing 4th of July jerseys then too, but they look pretty great too from the ones I have seen.

Re: June 2015 Pick Up Thread

Got these three beauties in a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks to Geoff and Ken! (Just a side note: this forum has been great for me to add to my collection, so thanks to everyone who has helped me out!)

Three Travis Hafner game used bats, all showing really good use. I apologize for the huge pictures and orientation. Photobucket seems to be having a few issues.






Also, wanted to add these. My grandmother recently passed away in January so my dad and his siblings went through some her stuff. To make a long story short, each of us grandchildren were able to pick out a few items. These were just two of of the items I was able to snag. They aren't game used by anyone famous, but they were game used by my grandfather, which means way more to me. They're beat to heck and show a lot of wear and tear, but I love them. I don't know a whole lot about them though and am looking for any information I can on them.

Received a ball pitched to Austin Jackson (Single) in AT&T Park. This ball lived a long and awesome life and was authenticated to a bunch of stuff.

I now have balls pitched to Austin Jackson in 24 of the 30 MLB parks.

Re: June 2015 Pick Up Thread

Went to the Cards/Cubs game last night. What I fun night! Took my daughter and we were able get there early enough for Cubs BP and I caught a screeming line drive HR ball. For some reason I brought my glove.....great comeback win by the Cards in extras and I was able to also snag a couple cool items on the cheap from the Cards Care auction. Nice use Carp bat with a very minor handle crack. Gonna check for possible postseason use and a killer 2010 Molina signed and well used jersey. Great night!

Re: June 2015 Pick Up Thread

I have purchased an item from fredskinz in the past (which was a professional and excellent transaction) and I don't have a problem with him or anyone else listing and item and then selling it elsewhere.

I don't have a strong opinion one was or another on the $500 cap in the Classified Section. Seems a bit silly but I'm sure there are plausible reasons i.e. safe transactions, some liability, Goldin auctions, etc.

Being able to edit posts would be nice for typo's and mistakes but only if there was some sort of time limit to edit like 5-10 minutes. If not, I can see where this could be abused in transactions to bait and switch and then cover up.

Example of the "time limit edit" I would edit the "and" to a "an" in the first paragraph. Proof reading would help as well
