Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!

Sylbry... The post by Howard was clearly derogatory and he did have an agenda based on it's tone. If anyone needs to explain to you why his post was of this nature, then clearly you just do not get it. Questioning an item is fine, but I was taken back as well by the tone of it. It was not nice and could have been phrased in a much better manner. I was hoping that this would drop, but your continual defence of him is just getting tired.

Thank You this is the last time I will post about this topic.

Picked up this circa 1966 Atlanta Falcons sideline heavy warmup jacket recently for under $40. Haven't tried to style or photo match it but it's a neat-looking piece in great condition, zip working perfectly.

Are those Sand Knit tags? Are they the same tags as the Falcons durene you got off this forum? Nice jacket at a great price!

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!

This is not just about Arod313 and his item. This just happens all the time when someone bashes a person with a dumb remark and then If the person comes up with the proof no one in here that bashes the item ever apologizes for it. Actually I still remember when I think Arod313 was the one with the Derek Jeter Colombus Clipper game used bat and a couple of people started to question the bat. When he came up with the proof straight from the horses mouth not one person apologized.

Why does someone need to apologize for questioning an item. We are not here to gloat about someone else being wrong or possibly looking fooling. If by someone questioning an item Arod313 to dug a little further and found proof, then Arod313 came out ahead because of the question. Again it is about the item, not the individual.

Plus it isn't your problem if Arod313 feels he is owed an apology.

I am not condoning inconsiderate behavior but seriously it is ok to question an item. It isn't the same as calling someone a liar.

No I was making the point that you have been a member for one month (join date March 2008) but yet feel confident that no one wants to post on here because of certain member comments. Make sense?

I really don't think Arod313 needs you or Fnazvc0114 to defend him.

And Fnazvc0114, I have been a member since the Network 54 days, prior to November 2005. "Blue star from the game used police"?

And since when is questioning an item being negative? If you want to be a part of the game used hobby expect to take a couple of lumps. Especially when your opinion deviates from the norm. No one is intentionally ripping anyone. I don't understand why people make the mistake of taking comments personally. It isn't about you. No one even knows you. It is about your item or your post. Period.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!

So now I have to be a member for more then a month to make a comment. Actually I have been coming to this boards for atleast 2 years now and every time I come here most of the guys in here just try to find a way to rip someone. The guy wasnt pushing the bat on someone. The question could have been ask alot better. Why hasnt he respond to my question? Because he was wrong. Why doesnt he stick to what he knows best Phillie jerseys.

CORRECTION:
They appear to be early to mid 1960s Spanjian tags.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!

Not sure if this is a steal or not - hopefully a forum member will be able to identify the jersey for me.

I got the jersey from eBay. The seller's scans gave the impression that the jersey was red. As such, I was thinking the jersey was an old Falcons jersey. Well, when I got it, I was shocked because the jersey is actually orange. In an attempt to show the actual color of the jersey, I placed a St. Louis Cardinals jacket next to the jersey and I took the scan.

Made by Spanjian, the jersey is a size 44 and it is made out of a heavy-weight durene material. The shoulders are reinforced and are about twice as thick as the rest of the jersey and the sleeve-ends are cuffed. Just above the cuffed sleeve-ends, are sewn-in elbow pads. There are diamond inserts under each armpit.

The jersey has several team repairs (most in the shoulder area) and is complete with crotchpiece. On the Spanjian Pasadena label, the number 518 has been imprinted on the label. This 518 is also imprinted on the inside of the crotchpiece and on the back of the jersey, on the inside, 318 has been imprinted.

All of the numbers have been sewn on. The numbers on the back of the jersey are positioned very high so I don't think the would be any room for a nameplate. The sleeve-stripes are woven into the jersey.

This is a very cool and extremely well-made professional style jersey. I've looked through a few old football annuals (Professional and college) and so far, I have been unable to identify the jersey. I would appreciate any help any member can give me in identifying whether the jersey was worn professionally or on the collegiate or semi-pro level.

Now, that's a nice jersey. The Spanjian tags are late 50s, early 60s. I have sold 100s of unknown football durenes. They are impossible to identify. Unless, you say your prayers and stumble across a photo. The new Sports Illustrated archive may be a good place to start. Someone who reads 60s Street&Smiths might know. Oregon State? College of the Pacific? Cal Tech? To make matters more complicated, Spanjian made uniforms nationwide, from West to East. The tag seems too old to have the Spanjian designed expressley for (insert name of sporting goods store.) Does it have the name of a sporting goods store or town (besides Pasadena)? Yes, it could be Continental Football League...1000s of possibilities. Oklahoma State? Idaho State? I know I've probably sold many FB relics for $100. I'm too impatient. I don't find as many football durenes as I used to. As for the "518" and "318"...they are inventory codes that I haven't learned yet.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!

Thank You just like in the other post with thome25. When people are asking for help the guys that are fast to bash someone are never there to help.

Sad, but I'm getting use to it. For whatever reason, some people just thrive off giving grief, than helping. Especially if you're new, and not in the circle of trust (reference to the movie: Meet the Fockers).

I still enjoy this forum and recommend that nobody think about leaving, just because of a few bad eggs with negative attitudes. Many just take it and don't speak out. Otherwise, they'll get trashed like some of you were. Keep the faith!

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!

Let me also add that you say that it is a "Derek Jeter New York Yankees Minor League Team Game Used and Signed bat" - we've all seen bats (on ebay especially) that say Barry Bonds game used signed bat. When you look at the bat, its a pro stock bat that was used by someone and signed by Bonds....that doesnt make it a Bonds gamer. With the limited amount of text in ebay headings and people's interpretations of what something that they read means, its easy enough to mistake the two or at the very least not understand the difference. A Bonds game used and signed bat is different than a game used bat signed by Bonds, Jeter, Arod or anyone else.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!

My point is, that this is a generic "team" bat that a "bat dealer" says was used by Jeter and it is signed by Jeter. Nothing more, nothing less. If it was a bat that had Jeter's name on it, that would add to it. I'm not saying anything against Zane, you, or the bat. I'm just calling it like I see it. If Zne acquired a Richmond Braves team bat and had Chipper Jones sign it, does that prove that Chipper Jones used the bat in a game?

I agree. There is nothing linking this bat to Jeter except for a signature, which I'm sure at the time was not difficult to get. Because of this, I don't believe the bat has great value. It is a nice piece, but it's not something that I could have in my collection and be confident that it was used by Jeter.

Re: Show us your ebay steals!!!

Tony - I know quite well who Zane is, as I have purchased from him before.....I have no issue with his reputation.

My point is, that this is a generic "team" bat that a "bat dealer" says was used by Jeter and it is signed by Jeter. Nothing more, nothing less. If it was a bat that had Jeter's name on it, that would add to it. I'm not saying anything against Zane, you, or the bat. I'm just calling it like I see it. If Zne acquired a Richmond Braves team bat and had Chipper Jones sign it, does that prove that Chipper Jones used the bat in a game?

"If" Zane acquired the bat directly from Jeter and offered photographic proof, that would be something different. As it stands right now, it appears to me to be a team bat, signed by Derek Jeter, that came from a well respected dealer of game used bats.

Am I missing something?

Jim:

No, you are not missing anything.

See my post #28, noting the exact same points:
Nice generic YANKEES bat that has a Jeter sig. How can you possibly claim and also prove he used this in the minor leagues?

I've obtained plenty of generic Louisville Sluggers directly from the Phillies during the 1980's that simply have PHILLIES in place of an actual players stamped name. Collectors have purchased these from me, and have later had Schmidt and Carlton autograph them. What's to prevent someone from claiming that either Phillies superstar used one of these bats? Although we know these were purchased as generic and never used by either superstar, once they change hands a few time, someone may claim that they obtained it directly after a game in which they saw Schmidt or Carlton use it, and then had him autograph it.

Personally, I could care a less if Zane sold this, or John Taube. Let's put our focus on the bat at hand; a generic Cooper with a Jeter sig.

Once solid evidence can be produced (photo, baseball card, team program, video, etc.) of Jeter using a generic YANKEES Cooper bat in 1994, I'll be the first to agree with Tony that indeed, he secured a real ebay steal!
