Re: February 2017 Pickups

While I obtained this Brian Roberts July 4th 2004 locker nameplate a few years ago, I was able to get it signed and notated by BRob a couple weeks ago from a friend who attended Orioles Dream Week:

In last weekend's MEARS Auction I picked up a pair of Cal Ripken Jr.'s early 1990's wristbands that were sourced from a Milwaukee Clubhouse Attendant...The number writing matches up to the ones that Cal had personally given me:

Thanks to Sherba15 (Alex) I picked up a very nice 2009 Albert Pujols game worn jersey. Jersey is signed on front and back and is MLB authenticated as game worn April, 24, 2009 vs Cubs. Very rare to find an older pujols jersey that is mlb authenticated.

Stoked to have added to my White Sox GU Jersey collection the MEARS Lamarr Hoyt jersey worn during his Cy Young season of 1983.

...you're not kidding about being pounded with amazing use. Looks like it's been through a war....

Daniel Murphy's game used World Series cap from Game 5 of the 2015 WS (his last cap worn as a Met). This has a second MLB sticker which further authenticates it to being worn during home games for the NLCS and NLDS too. There is sticker residue from the 2015 Post season patch.

Thanks to Brad Shafran who owns Shafran Collectibles from whom I acquired this cap from and had the pleasure to meet in person last Monday. Brad deals very fairly with his customers and is an up front and honest guy!

Re: February 2017 Pickups

Just received the Biggio today. Dates to 95-97, GU 9.5 and the barrel is pounded with use. kind of a bummer that JSA put the sticker for the autograph over his number on the knob.

Re: February 2017 Pickups

1. That's a great bat.
2. I never understand why they cover number or date stamps with stickers. Frustrating. You'd think they know and and go back barrel or something. MLB authenticators do it all the time.

Great hat David! I love the inscriptions. This one certainly fits your Mets World Series collection perfectly.
