July 2017 Pickups

Re: July 2017 Pickups

1968 Al Kaline bat:

I picked up this nice signed GU 10 Kaline, specific to '68, a special year for the Detroit Tigers. They won 103 games in the "Year of the Pitcher", then captured the World Series in a hard fought 7 game set over Bob Gibson and the Cardinals. Kaline bats seem to be tough to find, especially the better examples. The bat itself has a nice coat of pine tar on the handle, underlined 6 on the knob, with some heavy seam marks on the barrel.

Hi Ben, what are the chances we can see how you display such an incredible collection?

Re: July 2017 Pickups

Just picked up what is likely a 1938-43 Walker Cooper bat for my '42 Cardinals collection. Based on specs and comparisons I've done, it seems consistent with the C92 bat he used. There's also a chance it could have been used by his brother, Mort. With the addition of this bat and the Johnny Hopp, Jimmy Brown and Whitey Kurowski bats I got last month, I now have eight bats in my '42 collection. If you know where I can find an era-specific Enos Slaughter or Terry Moore bat, I'm all ears.

IF U WANNA SELL THE SET IM ALL EARS!
