Re: Blue Chip Sports

I purchased a number of Giants bats from them about 2 1/2 years ago. These bats are still listed on their site. The bats were very nice and were as described and I was very pleased with the bats.

I contacted them recently to inquire whether their site was up to date and was told it was....

This thread (Blue Chip Sports) has been discussed before .

Funny , I was told the same thing about the website being up to date .

It has been over a year , maybe close to 2 years now , I bought 5 bats from them . The bats are still listed in inventory on their website .

I don't think it is a matter of trust but rather a lack of time or more important priorities . I was told the owner is always traveling and into other business endeavors.....

Maybe they should sell the business to one of us ..............

Re: Blue Chip Sports

I have never purchased from them but have had mixed success with them responding to my emails. I believe Jim's wife runs the website and answers all the emails. Sometimes I have received an answer the very next day, sometimes it has taken 2-3 weeks, and sometimes I never hear back from them.

They don't have pictures of any of their bats and aren't willing to take individual photos for you.

Re: Blue Chip Sports

Thanks for the info on Left Field and Blue Chip, guys.

Any auction alternatives to eBay that you can recommend?

Re: Blue Chip Sports

Hi,

I have been dealing with Blue-Chip for years, Jim Popham the owner is one of greatest guys you could ever meet ! Sometimes is is difficult to reach them but if you ever deal with him, you won't have any problems, as for Left Field, as mentioned in the previous post by Mike, Art is one of the best in the buisness and a great person.

Re: Blue Chip Sports

Hi --

Re: Left Field Collectibles--- the owner, Art Jaffe, is one of the very knowledgable game used bat guys out there, and is one of the pioneers of collecting GU bats. He provided numerous pictures for Vince Malta's new book, and has a very strong inventory of both vintage and modern bats. A good feature of his site is that if you click on the players name, images of the bat come up--- his site is a very good research resource. Art has helped many bat collectors over the years.

Good Luck

Re: Blue Chip Sports

Always looking for different methods outside of EBAY, but for some reason I just can't get away from searching the bay.

Re: Blue Chip Sports

I was just about to post here, asking about Blue Chip. Pity that their rep seems to be what it is - they've got quite a few bats on their inventory list, reasonably priced, that I woudn't mind having.

I've been looking around for alternatives to eBay - just trying to see what's available elsewhere, and what the prices are like. Blue Chip was one that I found - the other is Left Field Collectibles. Anyone have experience with Left Field?

Re: Blue Chip Sports

They have had the same items for sale on their website for YEARS now. They never take anything off so I don't believe they really have all that's on their website. I wouldn't trust them

Re: Blue Chip Sports

They're the worst ever. After several emails and several weeks I got a one line response...and that's after telling them I wanted to pay $600 for one of their bats and wanted to know how to pay. I was so damn angry at that point, I told them to stick it. I have never seen such crappy customer service and I don't even bother looking at their site anymore.

Re: Blue Chip Sports

Three years ago I purchased a game used baseball jersey from Blue Chip Sports and was very satisfied. The jersey was shipped quickly and when I called to inquire about the jersey prior to purchasing, I was given a friendly/full/accurate description.

Re: Blue Chip Sports

Geoff: I agree that they can be hard to get to sometimes; however they have always returned my phone calls. The owner gave me his cell phone the first time we talked and I had no trouble getting him after that. He was very knowledgeable and polite. We talked about a lot of things, and I enjoyed our conversation. Most importantly, he described the bats I was looking for accurately. The bats were great and so was the service. Blue Chip ranks high on my list. Rex
