Your rarest game used item?

[33bird]

Not your favorite item. Not your most expensive item. Though it could be both. BUT, what is your rarest item in your collection. You can only pick one item. Don't post without showing us a picture or two.
Here's mine: Bill Russell's game worn 1960's Celtics road shorts. I've never seen another pair. Check em' out and then show us your rarest collectible.

Mine is my 1937 Alameda Kono All-Stars flannel jersey. This was team made up of the best Japanese American players of the day from Northern & Central California. They toured Japan, Korea & Manchuria. I've never seen another one of these jerseys anywhere.

I would say my 2006 Aaron Rowand game used unwashed mlb authenticated jersey. From the year he ran into the wall.

A 1937 Alameda Kono All-Stars jersey? Heck, there are 19 of them in that picture alone. A Manny Ramirez home run jersey? Who cares, he's his 500 of them (and probably signed a couple times that as HR used:D). I kid, I kid!!!


But this baby, there's only one of. Jonny Gomes's first ever home jersey (2001 Single A Princeton Devil Rays):

Just picked up Curt Schilling boot from 2004. He tried to use this in bullpen sessions in 04 after the injury, but it was to bulky thus leading to the surgery/ bloody sock/ World Series championship. Looking for photo matches or news reports from those sessions if anyone can help.
Thanks
Mike

I keep checking this post to see pictures of the elusive golden thong--I guess it hasn't surfaced at auction yet!

Do they smell like ass?

My rarest I guess, would be my 1977-79 Bill Madlock game used bat. Its rare because the brander that day transposed model numbers. Madlock factory records show C235 and C263 models being ordered but this is a C253.

This topic took some time and lots of thought but here is mine. I apologize for the weak scan my HP and I went round and round and it won. Got this off of ebay years ago. A few months later I was flipping through my Mariners cards and noticed Dan was holding the same bat.

My mother has Jack Cust's jersey right off his back from the game last May that he hit the opposite field walkoff against the Indians that jumpstarted his notoriety last season.

I think mine is an original LA Angels hat from 1961 - 1964 of the original Angels sparkplug - Albie Pearson.

[cohibasmoker]

My 1965 Jets jersey worn by David Huarte. An interesting issue on this jersey is, I sent it to a major auction house and their authenticator refused the jersey.

Here is the email I received from the auction house. Jim,The jersey has been refused by our authenticators. The reason for refusal; the Jets did not use Rawlings during the era that he was there. I will have the jersey sent back as soon as possible.Sorry for the bad news.
Thanks,

That is interesting because Brad Moore had three (3) Jets jerseys. All three jerseys were worn by common players, all played during the same period as Huarte and all three jerseys were made by Rawlings.

Oh well,

Jim

Here a 2 rare Bobby Jenks 1st pro jerseys. Even Bobby Jenks said he hopes to never see the jerseys again. Bobby had to many personal problem coming up thru the Angels farm system

[geoff]

My rarest item is my Hanley Ramirez Portland Sea Dogs Game Used Helmet Signed.It was his only Portland Sea Dogs Helmet that he used I was told.I bought the helmet a few years ago from a Forum Member.The helmet has a cert from the Team signed by the Equipment Manager of the Sea Dogs.Its Pounded with use.I will post pics when I can get a chance.

[harpt]

I suppose my rarest item is my Ted Simmons first baseman's mitt from the early 80's. I consider any fielder's gloves pretty rare anyway (especially if they are 25+ years old), but this is a little more rare since Simmons only played about 65 games at first base from the time the glove was made and the time he gave it to the team electrician after the 1985 season. Likely not the world's most valuable piece, but priceless for me.

[tigerdale]

for me it would be the last pitch thrown by a visiting player at tiger stadium (jeff montgomery to kimera bartee) or carlos guillens walk off homer ball last august to end the latest game in AL history (after 3 am!!).

[rbalm]

For me, its one of Tom Glavine's 300 win jersey he wore in the 4th inning

[skipcarayislegend]

For me, its one of Tom Glavine's 300 win jersey he wore in the 4th inning

Interesting that he wore an '06 jersey during that game.

[rbalm]

Yes, It is interesting tagging but the jersey comes with a mlb hologram and their data base states it was worn in the 4th inning.
