Does anyone have/Can Get Ryan Garko Items?

[GarkoCollector]

Either someone that has things for sale or can get ahold of some, either from other collectors or from the Team Shop...I would love to work something out with you. Anyone that can pick me up something I dont have, I would gladly compensate you for your time and help.

Items from any level are great. Game used or signed, but doesnt have to be both, though game used and certified is preferred.

I appreciate any help the boards might be able to offer!

thomecollector@cox.net recently had a game used Garko glove available. I don't know if he sold it. Was about 4 weeks ago.

[GarkoCollector]

I appreciate the info. I have seen a few on Ebay and didnt pull the trigger on them because I thought they were too pricey.

[skyking26]

I have no idea what thomecollector was going to sell his Garko for. I have 3 Kingman gloves, all vintage and they cost some dollars. Any glove will cost, as they usually are with a player for many years in most instances, unlike a bat that they go thru dozens in a season. As a Garko guy, I'd think you'd need one in your collection...

[GarkoCollector]

I just figured a guy that has only played 3 seasons, no all stars yet, the cost of one would be a bit less than what I have seen. I WILL have one though! :)
Thanks,
Tom

You've got plenty of time as Garko has plenty of years. Better to get it early before he starts compiling impressive numbers.

It's always tuff to read into what values should be. Thome is on his way to 600 HRS and receives very little credit for what he has accomplished, and this is evident in seeing some of the GU prices. It always gets me when you see a kid come up and he is supposed to be the next Mantle and they jack prices up, then their careers go south!! Good example right now locally is Verlander. ROY when he started, he is slipping by the year. Local dealers wanted $80 for his auto few years ago. Hell, they'd be lucky to get $20 right now...

[GarkoCollector]

I feel like theres only 2 things I really want that I dont have and thats a game used glove and a pair of game worn cleats. I have only seen 1 pair of game shoes and they went for nearly 500.00 and I though that was unnecessarily steep.

He has great potential and I have collected him since early 06 before he really played regularly. Just got a lead on a nice game worn jersey that I neve to put together a little more cash for.

[GarkoCollector]

this glove is on ebay and ends in 10 hours or so. this could be the holy grail for a garko collector as now he changed position.

He changed 3 years ago. He has lots of Catchers mitts out there. Harder to find a 1st basemans glove at this point.

I appreciate the response. I am looking for the glove now.

also i think lockerroom memorablia has garko stuff too.

[ballofbases@hotmail.com]

I think any fielders glove would fetch a premium. What have you seen them go for in the past?

Is there a way to access their store online?
I have a few Garko bats, but if I could get a different model, I would take it.

I was searching through ebay and came across two Garko items by accident. I don't know if you are into line-up cards...but this guy has two from his time in the minors. I believe Ryan Howard also played in the game. Below is a link for one of them.

Yeah, I talked to him about the pair. Not really sure what a good price for lineup cards is. Howard played in the game but didnt sign. Any ideas as to a value?

[ATigerFan]

Seen this on ebay.

I scour ebay pretty regularly, so if theres something on there, I've seen it. I really appreciate you giving me a heads up though. Plenty of people here have led me to non ebay items that I have been able to work deals for.

Indeed I am in talks with them for the jersey and gloves. I have the other jersey they had previously.

Again, very grateful for your help! Feel free to post anything else you might find!
Tom

[GarkoCollector]

anything else floating around?

[GarkoCollector]

anyone come across anything?
I have seen whatever is on ebay, looking for things in other places.
Thanks
tom

[GarkoCollector]

anyone else?

[chakes89]

Did you see that the Indians are converting him from 1B to the OF?

That should be interesting

[GarkoCollector]

Yes, he actually played the other day. With the way they are shaking things up, they are trying to make places for their bigger bats and he was the one with the most potential to make the move to another position. They definitely want him in the lineup.

Supposedly he was moved so that when Martinez catches, Garko can play first and Pronk can DH.

when Shoppach catches, Martinez/Pronk will play 1st and DH and Garko will play RF.

Its gonna be a sight to see.
Tom

[GarkoCollector]

Any more items out there?

[GarkoCollector]

Sending this up again for anything else out there.
Got a great offer from another member to help my collection out quite a bit.

[dcgreg25]

Have not done any research on it but I noticed a GU Garko bat on ebay that the seller claims is from the 2005 Futures Game.

Here is the link if you are interested....

Something doesnt feel right about it. Wonder if BMH can try to verify? I'll have to ask.
Thanks Greg!

[sox83cubs84]

EBay has a bat up for another 18 hours that the seller purports to be his HR#1 game-used bat from 2008 (it is signed and inscribed as such). New seller with only 2 feedback, but still worth a peek.
