Hi all...Heard today the Astros are going to have a game-used sale in December. Did not get a date, but should be mid-December.

DO you think there might be game used fielding gloves, or do those things usually not show up at team sales?

thanks

I will be going for sure, sounds to be a great event!
AM - no I doubt there will be any gloves. Guessing a bunch of jerseys, balls, caps, ect! Can't wait I'm itching to purchase some items for my collection.

I believe it will be Wednesday, 12/15. It was a great sale last year as they cleared out the bats. Unfortunately, this year they sold all the bats in the last home series. I was told there will be a TON of jerseys from 1999-2010. They have a large inventory remaining of MLB Auth baseballs, line-up cards, hats, and some bases.

The Astros are going to Cool Base for all 5 styles of jerseys next year, so there is no reason to keep the last few years of jerseys around for spares.

AM,

No gloves will be available. Since those are owned by the players, most players keep them, give them to other players, or sell them privately. Anyone in particular that you are looking for?

Thanks,

Wonder if there will be any great deals to be had. Towards the end of the season they were basically trying to give away some of the scrub jerseys they have had for sale for the longest. I'll def. try to go to this:D

Maybe they were told to sell everything as the owner is trying to sell the team. Get something for it now or it will passed to the new owner....When, where is the sale?

It is going to be December 15th from 12-8pm. They're going to discount all sorts of jerseys (gamers, issued and bps). The bps should include ones from 2010 since those are changing next year. Game used baseballs and bases will also be included. That's all I got for now.

I made a mistake on my previous post and could not edit it.


I will NOT be attending the sale and would like to know if someone wouldn't mind checking on a few player items for me.

Got word today that there are going to by some late 80s and early 90s jerseys at this sale. No word on prices. There are supposedly some bats from "former players" as well.

Anyone else going to this tomorrow. I really am curious what the pricing will be? I'll probably be there at noon or shorty before.

Heard some rumors today of batting practice jerseys starting at $25 and lots of gamers starting at $65. Apparently they are going to have a few hundred jerseys out there, including some from this past season.

Lets just say i have paid more for lunch than the total amount of the hats... Email me, but it would take a hell of a sell/trade to get these.

Do you have PhotoShop. I have CS 4, and it's easy to reduce the size of the images. If you need help, LMK.
