It's been until June in the past when they would start to hit.

Yeah, as I recall they tend to start up late May through mid June, with most closing in July. Then usually another smaller wave in July-August.

I'd say after their current featured auction for the team signed Jackie Robinson Day jerseys ends.

Items have started being listed. :D :D :D

Note the Billy Butler bat is not used... Yost gave him the day off.

good idea on the note!

Lets keep it going on this thread.

The pink Brandon McCarthy cleats are not really "game worn" as he did not pitch that day.

I thought MLB did a pretty good job of detailing some items such as not being game used or just issued. Overall a great selection for the first wave of Mother's Day items. A selection of game worn cleats. I'm pretty excited...

Indians pitchers Josh Tomlin and Alex White pink cleats are listed but neither pitched on Mother's Day either.

Ditto for the Royals Joaim Soria...

It would be nice if we could state on a thread for auctions like these items that people want to purchase from the forum and it would be nice is others would stay away from it. I usually try to contact fellow rays game used collectors and ask if they are pursuing a certain item. If they want something really badly, I am glad to hold off bidding against them, why drive the price up even more?

I like that MLb is now going with "issued" with more items, but it certainly puts a flaw in the overall authentication for the past. It is like when PSA started doing half-grades for their cards like what BGS and others were doing. They change the rules after years of doing it a certain way, would have been nice if they got it right the first time. I.E. game "used" batting helmets that never saw the field of play are commonplace for a lot of older MLB throwback auctions.

Only players under contract from Underarmour were allowed to wear pink cleats.

The Hosmer bat looks sweet! It reads: "Momma Hos" and it could be the bat he hit his 1st double with! Gonna be a bidding war on that one fo' sho!

Bahhh.. the Willingham bat is used but not by him during the game. He was using a black 2 tone.

Dang, I want to get some Giants stuff but all they have is the A.Huff batting gloves and S.Romo cleats. Do they normally post them all at the same time or is there more to come?


Does MLB do a Father's day auction?

What would there really be to auction off? Occasionally they would auction off the jerseys with the ribbons on them, but now they just remove the ribbons and continue to wear the jerseys. The father's day garb lacks immensely compared to what they do for father's day.

Pretty sure that the cleats are gonna be a hot item also, heck anything Hosmer related is gonna have a bidding war most likely.

I like the Stephen Drew "team issued" bat that they showed cracked. wonder if the pic or the description is wrong.

Sounds like I might as well not pay any more attention to the Hosmer stuff... His average is down to .255 or something, so not sure why he's so hyped right now. :rolleyes:

LOL! Yeah, nice try! I'm am giving all I got for that one. I anticipate it to break over $1,300.....I'll certainly be a part of that! ;)

The only thing that could steer me away from the Hosmer bat is a game issued unused Longoria pink bat. I'm hoping one shows up, but if not, the Hassle-Hoss is my target....sometimes I wish I could drop a $3K bid and be done with it! Oh how I wish to win the Lotto....

Was hoping to see one of Bruce's 2 bats he used.... guess I have to wait for the next round and watch all your crazy Hos collectors.

05-26-2011, 10:31 PM
Is there another round? If so I want to hold out for some Freddy Sanchez batting gloves or bat. Yeah, I'm with these guys, you Hos collecters are about to go at it......... GET OUT OF THEIR WAY

Sorry, haven't owned a Great Willy Mo bat for ages. Think I sold it when I was parting with my Hall of Fame collection. :D

I'd like the Smoak, but I don't see enough ball marks to justify the price. If it doesn't go too high, I might put a bid in. But seeing how much the pink bats go for, I'm not holding my breath or anything. Wish I had more money lying around, but I don't.
