Re: July 2016 pickups

Just got in a Mark Salas 2016 Mother's Day GU White Sox cap. This time, I didn't get it directly from Salas, but instead from an eBay seller who claimed that his father had that and a 2016ST Salas GU jersey given to him by the Chief. I wonder if Salas knows that his gifts ended up on eBay for resale? That's never the case when he gives me stuff directly.

I still need a Cardinals 4th of July jersey and they will soon be wearing TBTC jerseys from 1956 (July 23) and 1927 (August 27).

Kolten Wong 1984 TBTC (2016)
Trevor Rosenthal Memorial Day (2016)
Kevin Siegrist Mother's Day Cap and Jersey (2016)
Jedd Gyorko Father's Day Jersey (2016)
Austin Gomber Spring Training (2016)
Curt Ford (1987 World Series)
Joe Torre (1992)

I really like that Memorial Day jersey. Thanks for sharing

Just curious where you got the info that his model 5 is store model and the model 12 is professional? I think either can be store model or professional.

Hanna Batrite catalogs were found and list the model number for Ruth store model bats as model 5. This bat is model 12 making it solely a pro model.

This Gehrig bat at Hunt is model number 11 which is listed in the Batrite catalogs as model 11. So it makes this one rely solely on the use traits and dimensions to determine pro use.

This Gehrig bat is a Batrite but not a model 11 and has been photomatched

in addition pro model Hanna Batrite bats have the weight stamped on the knob, retail bats do not.

There are other differences also in how the bat is turned and the quality of the wood that determine pro model.

Thanks. I figure Mears and PSA recognize this model as a Professional model bat (the store model Ruth Hanna bat was model #5, this bat is model 12) and its certainly much more reasonable than a LS. Would be great if they could find a photo of Ruth with a Batrite bat like they did with Gehrig recently.

Congrats on another nice pickup Sean! That Ruth bat is really neat.. I like the mystery aspect of the non LVS bats from that era....if photos ever surface linking Ruth to the brand, watch out! Certainly seems to match the size you would hope to see!
