This dugout lineup card came from the collection of then Orioles bench coach, Sam Perlozzo is dated 04/02/01, which happened to not only be Opening Day that season (Pat Hentgen vs Pedro), but more importantly the last Opening Day in the career of Cal Ripken Jr. (wich I had him sign & notate recently):

Johnny Pesky 1954 Tigers game worn home set-pants and jersey. Both all original. Pesk only played 20 games total for Detroit before he was traded to Washington in early June. He was only pitch hitting too. He pinched hit a HR on May 25th, at home, before he was traded-so possibly his 17th and last career HR jersey. Comes with a coa from his brother Vince Pesky. From what I've been told, Tiger home jerseys from the 1950s are pretty scarce

Just in: 2 Kingman bats R161 and S2 from the '78 season, and a Gee Walker from the '38-43 time period. Walker was a member of the '35 Tigers Championship team.

Some Jay Bruce bats. 1 from the '08 season,'13 season,and the '11 season which I've matched to a HR against the Braves and may have been used to tie Eric Davis's record for most HR in a month.

That is a GREAT Pesky jersey. And, yes, Tigers home flannels from the 1950s and 1960s are rather scarce.

I am pretty happy with these unused, Larry Bird Converse Weapon game shoes, likely sent to Larry during ether the 85-86 or 86-87 season. The Weapons he wore during 88 season had an extra rubber support on the back heel, which you can see is not present on these. What I find really cool is that they came with the original box (Bird's name is written on the side). I love 1980's NBA shoes and have not seen a lot with the original box (mine is in pretty rough shape).

Awesome shoes. Still have my early 80's converse from rec ball days. I like that box. I sold some Maize and Blue 85 Nike dunks about 15 years ago to a guy in Japan. $500 I think. Not a shoe collector though.

Picked up a few bats from Lance Berkman's final MLB season. The Ash Bat is photomatched and I have a likely match on the older-style maple bat.

Looking to keep adding Berkman items, especially Cardinals or Yankees items, m9 bats (Astros, Yankees, or Cardinals), or fielding gloves.

Headed to the Louisville Slugger factory over spring break and anyone who has been there knows they have a massive pile of "error" bats in the gift shop. I thought all of them were just retail type bats, but at the bottom sticking out was one with a name plate. After nearly knocking all the bats over I pulled out a Quentin Berry bat intended for the 2012 World Series. Not anything special, but very unique being tied to the world series.

I am no expert but I assume this was indeed intended for him(everything looks right)...until the burning machine had a seizure that is.

Picked up game used fielding gates they reused padding and netting but have all the frames from first and third. Here is gates in background the piece shown is stopper piece with camera leaning up against it.
Not exactly sure where to put these very large items but couldn't see them being scrap.

These 3 bats were used by the player and sent to Xbat to be used to make their own Xbat model. Hence the information on the tape and the writing on the Pudge barrel. Pretty cool bats.

Picked up this Chandler Cespedes bat at the Sox game last night. MLB Hologram says it was used August 17th 2014 vs the Astros. Cespedes went 1 for 4 so I'll have to do some research to find out when/how he broke it. Really like the neon grip and the excessive pine tar.

Yes this was on the rack. There were a few Ortiz and Pedroia unused game models, a Jonathan Herrera, Johnny Gomes, game used, amongst a few others I can't remember. Christian Vazquez maybe? Also snagged a Jose Iglesias BP jersey, authenticated as issued but clearly worn.

I've collected these over the last couple of months, but just haven't gotten around to posting...

First two pics are of a 1991 Ryne Sandberg GU jersey, set 1.

Third pic is of a nasty game used and unbroken Sandberg bat.

The next two pics are the GU uniform when Arismendy Alcantara hit his first career home run last season, followed by a photo match to that game.

First two pics are of a GI Anthony Rizzo jersey. The jersey does show light wear and is Set 4, so I'm saying it was game worn. :-)

The next pic is of a game used lot of Aramis Ramirez.

The fourth pics includes from top to bottom: Glenallen Hill GU & signed bat, Zambrano GU bat, Almora GU & signed bat, Corey Patterson GU bat, Kerry Wood GU sock, Aramis GU hat, Aramis GU & signed cleats, Szczur game used cleats which I have photo matched.

The last two pics are a random game used Cubs batting helmet signed by Colvin (bought it that way), Schwarber, Addison Russell, Neil Ramirez, CJ Edwards, Pierce Johnson, Bobby Dernier, and I think Jacob Turner.

Not GU, but I just won the auction for this Roberto "Bobby" Bonilla store bat, which hung on the wall of the High Note Bar set on Justified.

http://auction.screenbid.com/images/lot/2014/20140_0.jpg

I know a few others here collect screen-used or -worn items and would appreciate something like this. A couple of months ago, the same auction site had the second of two Sons of Anarchy prop and wardrobe auctions, and I picked up a baseball used as set dressing on the SoA clubhouse set, liberally signed and covered with profanity by the prop guys and some of the cast members.

I had some high hopes going in to the first SoA auction. Knowing the incredible cult status of the show, I ought to have been prepared for some wild bidding. I wanted the green-beaded rosary that Chibs put in Opie's casket, but that went for a thousand, and several other items similarly soared right out of budgetary range pretty quickly. Still, I'm happy with what I got: a big redwood sign that hung in the Charming PD that says, "SHERIFF POST SJC 127", Ron Perlman's off-screen reading glasses, and the one item that I was determined to have whatever it cost me -
