Sold some stuff and I am afraid I might pay a bill off or do something stupid with it ;) so I decided to purchase a bat or jersey. Who would you spend it on??? Thanks,Tim

I see you collect Cincinnati Reds items. For $1,500 or less possibly you can buy the Barry Larkin game used jersey and bat on that are on eBay right now. Whatever you do with the $$ have fun adding to your collection!

I am a little skeptical on the Larkin jersey that was mentioned, one person saw it in person and not much use on it at all.

As for what I would purchase, I would try and pick up a nice Larkin home jersey. Haven't seen any in ages.

I'd purchase my friend's 1948 Bowman Set... all 48 cards - only grade about 5s and 6s, but still books around $5,000... he's told me when I get my accident settlement, it's mine for about $1,500 or so...

The bills are pretty much paid so, if I could find a original Tudor Tiger watch for $1500.00, I'd treat myself. Tiger Woods was a spokesman for Tudor from 1999 up and until 2001. The watch is part jewelry and part sports collectible.

man 1500 is a lot of money. I personally would either find a nice Jeter bat to sit next to my Arod, or I'd use the money to either go to spring training or travel to different ballparks.

Hmm. Not sure. I think I would ultimately use it to help purchase another Babe Ruth authograph. Always one of my favorites but I only have two so far.

All 4 jerseys Matt Diaz wore with the Tampa Bay Rays, pay off the g/u fielders glove I just won and 2 different Jays Shawn Camp jerseys and his Syracuse Chiefs jersey.

First I would have to take my $1500 and buy something nice for my wife for being so understanding and patient about my 'addiction'.

With the $1479.95 I have have left over it would go right into my other addiction......

Thanks, she's my baby....built by my own 2 hands. There's more money in her than there is my Bears collection.

Some truth serum. Then I would give it to Arod and ask him if the bats I have of his are actually game used :)

I would contact Andrew Lang and see if that would convince him to sell the Moises Alou glove he has :)

Rob,

Have you seen this one currently up on Heritage?

It's as fine as a fountain pen signature of Babe's as you'll find, on a nice white background (business card). If I wasn't after a coupe of other items in this auction, I'd be all over it.

It's currently a bit above $1,500, however......sitting on $2,400 and sure to go for more.

I'd tell you guys what I'd like for $1,500 but if I did, I may find I have more bidders to fight against and it'll end up costing me $3,000!!! So I'll just stick to the next best thing...."October pick-ups"....:p

I'd use the money to find a good Mac piece. Either a late 80's bat or a legit jersey:rolleyes: Probably never find one since there aren't many out there. I know it would cost more than $1,500.00 which is all good, but thats what I'd use it to help me get.

That's a great autograph. Definitely too much for me right now. I have had this pencil Ruth autograph for a few years and finally just sent it to PSA/DNA. It is one of the best looking pencil autographs of Ruth that I have seen.

Did I hear somebody say that you're a Reds fan?

I've got a 1991 Chris Jones rookie Reds bat that you can have for just $750...there's half your problem solved! :rolleyes:
