Astros Clubhouse Extravaganza

[Astros1994]

Did anyone else go to the Astros Clubhouse Extravaganza today? Fans were allowed onto the field, into the dugout and into the clubhouse. Also we were able to see the indoor batting cages and have dollar hot dogs and soda in the Diamond Club dining room. There were alot of great game used items available. I was able to pickup a 1998 Bagwell blue alternate jersey, 2009 Tejada road red jersey, 2004 Beltran red road jersey, 2005 Mark Bailey red road World Series jersey, 2005 Stretch Suba red road jersey and a 2001 Moises Alou road jersey. Also was able to pick up a 1998 Randy Johnson P72 team issued Louisville Slugger and a 2010 J.R. Towles pink Mothers Day bat.

great haul.

[BamaHater]

I was thinking about going today but did not. I might go tomorrow. What game used did they have and how were the prices?

[eGameUsed]

It was a great event. Jerseys started at $150 and went up to $500. Bats started at $65. They also had game used baseballs, game used bats (remaining bats from 2011 and some others), and game used line-up cards.

I picked up game used bats of 1998 Biggio, 2005 Bagwell, 2009 Aaron Boone MLB Auth, 1998 Randy Johnson Issued. I picked up jerseys of 2011 Barmes P/S Insane Dirt MLB Auth, 2011 Bud Norris P/S MLB Auth, 2011 Carlos Lee Road Red Opening Day MLB Auth, 2011 Jimmy Paredes Home Red, 2011 Chris Johnson Home Red Insane Use, 2010 Carlos Lee Road Red, and 2006 Brad Lidge Road Red.

Thanks,

[Astros1994]

They had a stack of lineup cards for $20. When I left around 3:00 p.m. they were down to a handful. There was a bin of game used bats for $65. There were about 3 or 4 Carlos Lee bats and a couple of Bourn bats. The rest were common players for the most part. When I left there was about a dozen left. There were 3 or 4 Biggio bats for $500 each all of which sold. The 2 or 3 Bagwell bats for $400 each. Only the Stix one was left. They had 5 Clemens promo bats and 5 Randy Johnson team issued bats for $125 each and all of them were sold. The jerseys were all from $150 to $500 each. There were a couple of Clemens jerseys for $500 each left. There were also several Bagwell and Biggio BP's left for around $400 to $450. I had picked up the Alou for $150, Beltran $150, Tejada $250, the Bailey and Suba World Series jerseys for $250 each and the Bagwell for $350. I have no idea why the Bagwell gamer was priced less than the BP jerseys.

[BamaHater]

Wonder if there would be anything left if I get there at 10 am tomorrow? Any rainbow era or TBTC jerseys?

[AstrosGU]

Did the Clemens jerseys show use or were they pretty much issued? Also, what style were the Biggio and Bagwell BP jerseys that were left over??

[Dewey2007]

Were there any Jeff Kent jerseys available?

[Astros1994]

The only rainbow jersey that I recall was a 1999 TBTC Tom McCraw. Both Clemens jerseys were looked to be only team issued which is why I passed on them. One of the Bagwell BP's was a 1994. The other Bagwell and Biggio BP's were early 1990's.

[Astros1994]

Were there any Jeff Kent jerseys available?

I only saw one and I think it was sold.

[AstrosGU]

Were there any other World Series jerseys?

I was thinking about going tomorrow, but trying to decide if it is worth the drive in the morning to take a look at the Clemens (which might be issued at best) and the Bagwells.

The Bailey & Suba were the only two World Series jerseys that they had.

I would love to see some photos of your haul!

Does your Beltran show much use? I purchased a 04 Road Red Beltran from the Astros earlier this year that is pounded. Photomatched to games throughout the 2nd half of the season.

If I can ever figure out how to load a photo onto the computer I will post some photos. I will most likely have to borrow one of my seven year old nephews to show me how. The Beltran shows light use but it has been washed a few times. For $150 I could not pass it up.

[BamaHater]

I'll probably make the trip down there tomorrow morning and hope they have some stuff left.

[AstrosGU]

That would be awesome. I would love to see the photos. I would not pass it up for $150 either!

I'm still on the fence about tomorrow. I doubt they are putting out new stuff and don't know if what was left over from today is worth it.

I asked Mike Acosta if they would put anything new out tomorrow and he said most likely no.

Was there any other Tejada jerseys there?

I'm a big Tejada fan so I looked for his jerseys pretty hard but that was the only one that they had.

[shaunharr]

Astros1994, I need that J.R pink bat!!!! He is my absolute favorite player, I am super jealous!! Can u post some pics

[shaunharr]

Got my first game worn J.R. Towles jersey today.2011 home pinstripe, MLB Authenticated.

Now have that, 2007 BP jersey, and 4 bats

[project 4]

I don't collect Astros stuff (my main collection consists of a certain UofH alum) but I'm amazed at all the Astros collectors here! Everyone from Houston? What are yall thoughts on Crane?

[brianborsch]

Lets see those Randy Johnson game issued bats!

[BamaHater]

I went today and it looked like stuff had been picked over. Still quite a bit of 2011 scrub jerseys including Los Astros jerseys. They had quite a few early 90's shoulder rainbow's they have been trying to sell for a while now. Most of the star player jerseys they had at the beginning were gone. Had a few Biggio and Bagwell BP's from the early and late 90's. Picked up a 1986 Matt Keough Road Cream Goodman jersey with the 25th anniversary patch. Rare jersey as you never see Goodman Era jerseys up for sale especially from 1986.

[AstrosGU]

I decided to make the drive down this morning as well. There were 3 racks of jerseys in the game used part. One rack with rainbow sweaters and the rainbow shoulder jerseys, then a rack of jerseys from this past 2011 season, and then a rack of bigger name jerseys.

They had a ton of jerseys from this past season available. At $150 each, there wasn't anyone on that rack that I couldn't live without.

They had quite a few of the bigger name jerseys left. Saw about 5-6 Oswalt jerseys, 4-5 Pettitte jerseys, 3-4 Berkman jerseys, 3 Clemens jerseys, Kent, Bourn, and Lidge jerseys. Was really interested in picking up a Clemens jersey but they didn't really show much use at all.

As mentioned, they had a couple of early Bagwell and Biggio BP jerseys left, as well as a 1994 Bagwell BP left. They all looked pretty new so I passed on them.

Clemens and Pettitte jerseys were at $500. Berkman, Oswalt, and Kent jerseys were $450. They had a Lee jersey for $150 but looked brand new.

I ended up picking up a 2008 Jose Valverde Alternate White jersey and a Chris Johnson MLB authenticated hit baseball. The Valverde shows really good use and I have already photomatched it. Looks like he wore this one the majority of the season.

[BamaHater]

It seemed to me that the Clemens and Pettite along with the Biggio and Bagwell jerseys might have been just game issued. They showed no real use although two of the Clemens jerseys were void of jocktags just like he wore on his gamers. They also had a Ken Caminiti rainbow BP jersey and a M&N TBTC rainbow from 1999. It seems to me the Astros have so much stuff in their archives they randomly bring out stuff you didn't think they would have and they might not have known they even had. Who knew that they still had 1986 jerseys left. Overall it was worth it to go down however it would have been nice to head down yesterday when they had better stuff left.

[kylehess10]

If anybody needs help photomatching stuff, I have tons of full-res photos from the 5/17/11 game in Atlanta (they wore grey uni's)

[eGameUsed]

Here is a picture of the Johnson Issues bat, along with the 1998 Biggio and 2005 Bagwell.

Rainbow sweaters? i'd love to see them of those tags...and what were the asking prices?

[mbenga28]

sorry for bumping this again, but those who went and examined the Clemens jerseys, were they home or road jerseys?

also, does anyone what happened to those items that didn't sell and where they could still be purchased? thanks.

thanks, do you know if items can be ordered through mail or do they have to be picked up in person?

You can order stuff through mail. I've done it before.

[mbenga28]

You can order stuff through mail. I've done it before.

thanks again, is there a particular time or day to reach him? I know some game used team contacts can only be spoken to during the season and they lock up their inventory during the offseason.

[mbenga28]

were these the same jerseys some of you saw at the Clubhouse Extravaganza? if so, are the prices the same?

[BamaHater]

Wonder when the Astros added these jerseys online. I bet you could get them cheaper if you called Mike directly.

I'm thinking of calling Mike up and asking about the Clemens jerseys you guys saw at the Extravaganza, do you remember which colors/season were available for Clemens? Thanks.
