Re: October 2016 Pickups

2016 Game Used Tampa Bay Buccaneers helmet, worn in preseason against Redskins, Jags, Browns and Eagles (had a QB hit on Carson Wentz in this helmet). Purchased directly from the player himself and he also signed a COA verifying which games the helmet was worn in.

First new logo Bucs game used helmet that I have seen hit the market as well. Cost me a fortune, but pleased to now have a game used Bucs helmet from all 3 logos in their history.

Re: October 2016 Pickups

Picked up this awesome Raul Mondesi bat at the last Royals game I was at for the season. This is the first bat that the Royals Authentics store had from Raul. Of the three I currently know of this one has the most use. This was MLB authenticated to August 3, 2016 as BATTER - RAUL MONDESI, PITCHER - JAKE ODORIZZI, TOP OF 3, GROUND OUT, LOUISVILLE SLUGGER. Raul was called up from AAA Omaha Storm Chasers and played his first regular season game on July 26, 2016. That makes this bat authenticated to his 9th career MLB regular season game. So far I have photo matched it to all three games in the Tampa Bay series. That means this bat was used in his 7th, 8th, and 9th career MLB regular season games. During this time frame he had no hits but did have some sac bunts and fly outs. If you do not know the reason I am making the distinction of this bat being from some of his first regular season games it is because Raul was the first player in the history of the MLB to make his first MLB appearance in a World Series game. That happened in game 3 of the 2015 World Series where he had one at bat that resulted in a strike out.

This bat has been hammered and I am guessing that he used this bat in AAA also. There are so many seam marks on the barrel, paint is chipped away all over the bat, there are also cleat marks and bat rack marks. It looks like he tried to use the bat as an axe because the end of the bat has nearly been flattened from being pounded on the ground. It is an awesome bat from very early in his MLB career. I hope to pick up some more soon so this one does not get lonely.

This has also been posted in the Royals thread with more pictures.

Re: October 2016 Pickups

I ended my Sox season hanging out by the Twins dugout today, and was fortunate enough to share a GU cap tossed to me by Twins bullpen coach and former team closer Steady Eddie Guadardo. All in all, a good season between that and the Derrick May July 4th GU jersey.
