October 2016 Pickups

Re: October 2016 Pickups

Found this at an estate sale in suburban Chicago -- Jack Lamabe's game-used jersey from the St. Louis Cardinals 1967 World Series championship season. It has a 1966 Set 1 tag because it was originally worn by coach Joe Becker that season as you can see the vague outline of Becker's name and No. 4 on the back. This jersey was obviously recycled by the team when Lamabe was acquired from the Mets during the 1967 season. Lamabe went 3-4 with 4 saves and a 2.83 ERA for the Cards that year and pitched in three games in the World Series.

Nice find, Dave. You have more than a few Cardinals enthusiasts reading this who might have some good White Sox items to swap you for it.

Re: October 2016 Pickups

I picked up a hammered 2005 Pujols jersey. There are sweat stains, pilling, you name it. Signed perfect in silver pen on the back "5". I have photomatched it to several homeruns during the first half of the season. Below are some of my favorite shots. This jersey appears in countless games on getty....clearly one of alberts favorites from the season. No doubt one of my favorite pick ups.

Picked up a 2011 Pujols game worn jersey. Jersey is a one gamer (jersey of your back day) and was then raffled off. Glad to get a 2011 Pujols for my 2011 set. Been a very tough find. Only about 4 more 2011 jerseys to go to have the complete WS roster.

Re: October 2016 Pickups

The Cardinals items this month are ridiculous! Here are a few more...

1. 2010 David Freese: Uncracked, heavy use, dates to early 2010 due to presence of tape on handle.

2. 2013 Adam Wainwright: Uncracked, moderate use, photomatched to the 8th inning of Game 5 of the 2013 NLDS. Adam pitched a complete game for the first and only time during the playoffs, allowing only one run. This bat was used in Adam's best overall playoff performance.

3. 2011 Matt Holliday: Uncracked, heavy use, dates to late 2011 when Matt used these unfinished LVS bats a handful of times.

4. 2013 Adron Chambers: Uncracked, heavy use, issued for the 2013 World Series. Adron was not selected for the 2013 World Series roster, but was with the team and likely took batting practice using this bat.

Re: October 2016 Pickups

I know it's not game used, but am a fan of the movie, The Goonies. This ex NFL player played the role of Sloth in the movie. Passed away in 1989. Came across this signed book of his with a beautiful autograph. Dated too...

Re: October 2016 Pickups

And just like that, I've added another bat to my 1922 St. Louis Browns collection -- a 1922-25 Jack Tobin. Less than six months after starting my quest to find the starting eight, I'm halfway there. Wally Gerber, Marty McManus, Jack Tobin and Ken Williams down... George Sisler, Baby Doll Jacobson, Hank Severeid and Frank Ellerbe to go.
