I recently picked up this Cal Ripken Jr. game used batting helmet from 1999. It was originally sourced from an Indians bat boy and I was initially told that it was from the 2000 season, but after doing some photographic research, I found it to be from 1999. I don't have a definitive photmatch per se, however the design of the rear number 8 and it's relation to the ABC manufacturer's logo points to all being good:

Awesome Johnny Hockey jersey. Did you buy the jersey from the team or some other source? I was looking to buy a jersey of Devin Setoguchi. He was sent down to the Adirondack Flames when he ended his season early due to an injury.

I was a Minute Maid Park Wednesday Night and picked up this Team Issued Jed Lowrie Memorial Day Camo Jersey. I like that it is a Size 44 with +1 sleeve and it has the 50th Anniversary of the Astrodome patch . Jed is on the DL and won't be back till probably after the All Star game. It is a really nice jersey and unlike years past, the jerseys this year feature a camo colored batterman on the back. In the past they just used the regular team colored batterman. Also something I find strange is they placed the MLB holo inside of the jersey on the back of the embroidered Majestic logo. No sure why they did this but all the jerseys were tagge this way. Something weird the authenticator did. It was an Astros road game at Baltimore.

'69 Willie Mays bat:

I was finally able to get a Mays bat with the heavy tar, a goal for some time, from a friend of mine in the hobby...just a great bat and one I've always wanted. It was sourced by the original owner thru introduction by the then Giants GM and received from Mays in the dugout directly. It has the label down use on the barrel, along with cleat marks, number on knob and the nice pine tar, while given a grade of 10 for what its worth.

I told him I'll give him a bat only if I get a duplicate. I also told him that he is not to sell or give the bat away. We'll see how well that goes.

Found this five hours ago on a clothing rack at an antique mall. Thought the #8 was a error, but then found he played in #8 for only his 1998 debut season in St. Louis. Trying to photomatch, but he did get his first career hit and HR on the road.

I posted it so people could see it, Nate. Most items I find I don't purchase for myself. I love putting items in the hands of true collectors, not re-sellers. My collection is 90% Redskins items, so I use the funds I make from these items to purchase stuff for my own personal collection. Not that it matters, but I first contacted a couple of members on the site who had previously posted about wanting a #8 Drew jersey. When none of them responded, I decided to just list it.

Unfortumately, I have found that lately the members on this site have become increasingly hostile towards anyone trying to make a buck on an item. There are unwritten rules for people who "insta-flip" or resell anything for more than they paid, which is ludicrous. I overpay for many items which I missed out on and never complain.

If I am wrong, I'd love to hear other member's opinions.

ndevlin
06-23-2015, 06:09 PM
Oh yeah, no worries. I'm ok with ppl making a buck. Do what you want on that.

Reason I asked is because when people show off an item on the pick ups, and then list it for sale for $1,000 on eBay when the limit on here is $500, that sends a red flag.

Again, don't care what you do by making a buck, but it was pretty evident what was being done here. We see it all the time.

Hate to mess up a good thread. Feel free to pm me directly if you have any additional comments.

My personal opinion, I'd like the pick-up thread to be pick-ups we at least plan on keeping a while, not looking to flip. There are other areas for that.

However, my opinion isn't worth much.

Let's say I pick up a Mickey Mantle bat and post it in this thread. Couple days later, I find a holy grail item that I would like to buy, so I decide to sell the Mantle bat to fund the holy grail item. Am I unable to sell the Mantle bat because some forum members on GameUsedUniverse would be mad at me because I posted the Mantle bat in a "pick-up" thread? I think its ridiuclous just because you post an item in a pick up thread on GameUsedUniverse that you are stuck with that item for a certain period of time (2weeks, a month, who knows) before you can "legitimately" sell it. Come on, really? I think what needs to be done on this website is remove the $500 limit in the Classifieds. Another thing that needs to be done is allow the members to edit there own posts.


Rant over.

If I may amend my previous post, I'm not mad at fredskinz or any other member over this. I just wanted to posit that I'd like to see the pick-up thread to be a place to show off new additions to the collection, not a showcase for selling. Beach, If you love your Mantle bat today but your circumstances change in two weeks, so be it.

Really, my "anger level" here at that post is about a -2. I made my post to see if a quality discussion could ensue. I couldn't even force a rant out about this if I tried.

I have purchased an item from fredskinz in the past (which was a professional and excellent transaction) and I don't have a problem with him or anyone else listing and item and then selling it elsewhere.

I don't have a strong opinion one was or another on the $500 cap in the Classified Section. Seems a bit silly but I'm sure there are plausible reasons i.e. safe transactions, some liability, Goldin auctions, etc.

Being able to edit posts would be nice for typo's and mistakes but only if there was some sort of time limit to edit like 5-10 minutes. If not, I can see where this could be abused in transactions to bait and switch and then cover up.

Example of the "time limit edit" I would edit the "and" to a "an" in the first paragraph. Proof reading would help as well :)

Went to the Cards/Cubs game last night. What I fun night! Took my daughter and we were able get there early enough for Cubs BP and I caught a screeming line drive HR ball. For some reason I brought my glove.....great comeback win by the Cards in extras and I was able to also snag a couple cool items on the cheap from the Cards Care auction. Nice use Carp bat with a very minor handle crack. Gonna check for possible postseason use and a killer 2010 Molina signed and well used jersey. Great night!

Received a ball pitched to Austin Jackson (Single) in AT&T Park. This ball lived a long and awesome life and was authenticated to a bunch of stuff.

I now have balls pitched to Austin Jackson in 24 of the 30 MLB parks.

Got these three beauties in a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks to Geoff and Ken! (Just a side note: this forum has been great for me to add to my collection, so thanks to everyone who has helped me out!)

Three Travis Hafner game used bats, all showing really good use. I apologize for the huge pictures and orientation. Photobucket seems to be having a few issues.

Also, wanted to add these. My grandmother recently passed away in January so my dad and his siblings went through some her stuff. To make a long story short, each of us grandchildren were able to pick out a few items. These were just two of of the items I was able to snag. They aren't game used by anyone famous, but they were game used by my grandfather, which means way more to me. They're beat to heck and show a lot of wear and tear, but I love them. I don't know a whole lot about them though and am looking for any information I can on them.

Tim Wallach Dodger Jersey from Memorial Day 2015. I can't stand these gimmicks by MLB, but my OCD outweighs my disdain. It actually looks much nicer in hand than it does on tv.

I was at that game and saw those in person and commented then on how great they look. You are going to hate that they are doing 4th of July jerseys then too, but they look pretty great too from the ones I have seen.

Nice Wallach.

I'm not big on the increasing number of gimmicks, but what can you do... as listed above, I got my first Memorial Day jersey, which also looks good in person. I like the look of yours as well.

2008 Matt Holliday GU Jersey

Found this on eBay and have some very nice Photomatches on it already. Was used to hit at least 3 HRs, including a grand slam and his last HR as a Rockie.
