[rchimes13@yahoo.com]

As a Reds fan this one hurts, lol, but couldn't pass on it. Kyle Schwarber GU 2015 Futures Game used helmet. With event being in Cincy and since I attended all the festivities I'm trying to piece together a nice GU collection with items from each event.

[yankeesman]

Here's a couple I got in today:

2001 Lee Mazzilli World Series Game Used Road Jersey

[yankeesman]

This one is a centerpiece in my collection. I'm a huge Brian McCann fan and this is the 2015 game used home jersey from Father's Day. McCann hit a home run in the game and it shows incredible use.

[bat_master]

Should really have been posted in the June pickups, but I'm finally getting around to it.

1925 Hillerich & Bradsby Jim Bottomley Game Used Bat (34" - 37.4 oz)

Rare block letter bat as it pre-dates Bottomley's contract with H&B by a year (contract was signed April 26, 1926). The models/bats he ordered in 1926 are both indexed at 35" in length whereas two of the models listed for him 1925 are n/s" meaning they are non-specified lengths. Weights are listed as 39 oz and 40 oz.

In 1925, he batted .367 and collected 227 hits (44 doubles and 12 triples), 21 HR, and 128 RBI. He also had a career high 3 grand slams that year.

Bat has nice use with some grain swelling on the right barrel (Bottomley batted left) as well as a few cleat marks.

[gorilla777]

Incredible bat, Tim! Great patina, besides being a super tough and rare bat..

[Masimen]

Awesome bat Tim!!!!!

[Birdbats]

My Bottomley-less 1926 Cardinals collection weeps with envy at the sight of your bat, Tim.

[seanbaseball]

Very jealous. Bottomley is a great bat

[Dach0sen0ne]

Finally got my July 4th Jersey, probably my favorite looking jersey. Plus a few other I picked up.

[sox83cubs84]

Tim:

That's a superb bat, and probably rare, as well.

[bd300]

I went to my first game at Marlins Park last week and purchased these items. A base and ball from the game I went to. I also purchased the lineup card but haven't received it yet. In the store I purchased a bat used by J.T. Realmuto.

On Saturday I went to Jupiter to get my game used Brian Schneider helmet signed and found a Jose Fernandez locker nameplate from Spring Training. They also had a rack of game used jerseys that were used from 2011-2014 and I found a #16 jersey.

[seanbaseball]

Picked up a bunch over different 2011 Cardinals Jerseys over the past few months.

[jscott0688]

Picked up a bunch over different 2011 Cardinals Jerseys over the past few months.

Nice! Who is the TBTC?

[seanbaseball]

Matt Holliday. One Guy found the Shirt on ebay and another member found the pants at Authentics and I bought both to put them together.

[seanbaseball]

Here's the rest picked up not too long ago.

[TigersCubs84]

That's a nice museum! Steady employment for the delivery people as well.

[seanbaseball]

Marty Marion game used bat

[grandeleague]

Picked up a bunch over different 2011 Cardinals Jerseys over the past few months.

Awesome cards stuff. I have a 2012 shelby miller jersey if you need/want one.

[grandeleague]

Picked up a kimbrel playoff jersey and a freeman military appreciation jersey.

[teddy406]

Have to show off my Johnny Pesky Red Sox game used bat that I just picked up. I finally completed my Teammates set with this one (see Teammates photo). I have Ted Williams (graded a 9) and Bobby Doerr and Dom Dimaggio game used bats. All 4 bats are very high quality. Great use-uncracked-and two of them are signed. Thanks Goldin Auctions!

[GoCrazyFolks76]

Albert Pujols 1st MLB Game Lineup Card:
(I'm looking for a ticket from this game if anybody has one for sale.)

[dougiedshow]

Lineup card from when Giancarlo Stanton's face was shattered...

Wow, great pick up.....that's an amazing find.

[wjyoung1575]

Finally added an Andruw Jones gamer to my collection. It's from 2001 with post-9/11 flag and Eddie Mathews memorial patch. I was able to photo-match the damage on the left sleeve and the wear on the nameplate to the entire second half of the season and playoffs.

[jscott0688]

I was excited to recently pick up a Cardinals jersey from the Labor Day, 1997 Jersey off the Back day with the MDA patch. The oddity with these is that the Cardinals removed the numbers from the front of their jerseys starting that season. Someone apparently didn't get the memo when it came time to order these up. Now I just need the 1998 jersey to complete the MDA set. I've been told by a family member that I can have his so I am just waiting patiently on that.

I also picked up a '96 jersey with the Busch Stadium 30th Anniversary patch.

[Swoboda4]

Ruben Tejada from 2014 season with photo match

[sox83cubs84]

Marty Marion game used bat

It seems to be a time to see vintage Cardinals GU bats. First the Bottomley, and now the Marion. Excellent bat, Sean!

Dave Miedema

[Swoboda4]

Darryl Hamilton Brewers game used bat.

[ndevlin]

1985 Ron Cey Game Worn Cubs jersey

[ndevlin]

Adrian Beltre game used bat that was cracked on 7/30/15 against the Yankees.

[Swoboda4]

Just catching up now that I've figured out (with help from GUF members) how to upload photos. Not a label sticker among them!

[gorilla777]

1998 Darryl Strawberry

Thank you to my friend for the assist in picking up a great '98 Yankees bat for the Straw Man...

Ben

[seanbaseball]

Yadier Molina 2014 Game Worn Helmet

[seanbaseball]

I meant 2015 helmet:)

[3arod13]

1998 Darryl Strawberry

Thank you to my friend for the assist in picking up a great '98 Yankees bat for the Straw Man...

Ben

Awesome bat!!

[sox83cubs84]

1985 Ron Cey Game Worn Cubs jersey

Great Cey jersey. Take a look up xlose at the right sleeve and see if there is a round stitch imprint on it. If there is, then you have a 1984 NLCS gamer. The Cubs 1984 postseason jerseys were tagged for 1985, and the round imprint is from a NL EAST CHAMPS patch that was removed after the Cubs lost the NLCS.

Dave Miedema

[joetiger83]

Finally got my July 4th Jersey, probably my favorite looking jersey. Plus a few other I picked up.

Good stuff Rich!

[Swoboda4]

Purchased Wilbur Flores' 2013 home Met jersey from his first two hits and RBI's-8/7/13. Thanks to Ronin (It's yours if you ever want it back).

[lakeerie92]

I think I have started a bit of a Kimbrel Padres collection

[GoGators]

Thrilled with this game-worn Steven Stamkos 2015 All-Star jersey from Team Foligno. This was worn by Stammer in the first period of the 2015 All-Star game in Columbus as well as during pre-game warmup and on draft night and is from the NHLPA set. Surprisingly, there is a bit of wear with a small mark on the right sleeve. Has MeiGray tagging and an NHLPA LOA.

I just added a total of 50 game worn college football helmets to our site. Around 40 of those are MN Gopher helmets, with the rest being various Big Ten helmets. Some of these were August pick ups, but most from the previous few years.

I also shot a pic of each of our sports rooms for those interested, located on our blog link.

Early Kris Bryant MLB GU bat still marked with his Iowa Cubs number 76.

76 was his spring training number not his Iowa Cubs number

[twarman17]

76 was his spring training number not his Iowa Cubs number

You are correct, thanks

[CPuente57]

Got this in today after winning it off Golden Auctions. Comes with a Bulls Charities LOA. Worn on 1/5 against the Rockets where Rose had 19 points and 9 assists. NBA Gamer #17 in my collection and my first NBA Gamer with the Logoman on the back and Gold Title Patch.

Thanks to two GUU members for the Martin and Hollandsworth, respectively.

Just purchased this Brad Komminsk 1986 road blue Atlanta Braves game worn jersey last night. It took over 25 years of looking to find one of Brad's blue Braves jerseys so I had to get it when it came up for sale. I'm still looking for the 1985 home white #7 Braves Komminsk jersey I used to own if anybody has it and wants to part with it.

Thanks Dave! I know when Rose was white hot during his MVP season, there would probably be no way I could afford a gamer of his! Also, love the little title patch they added this past season.

[slab0meat]

Great looking Braves jersey.

Cleveland Browns sideline jacket, circa late 1960's-early 1970's

[twarman17]

Thanks! Just found this sweet pic on Getty of the bat splintering

In follow-up to my post about the Bryant bat, I was able to photo match the bat using the circle dark mark and pine tar pattern to both of Bryant's at-bats earlier in the game on May 8th.

Does anyone have a link to describe how I superimpose my picture of the bat onto the MLB.TV image like others do? That looks really nice. Thanks in advance.

[wjyoung1575]

Just added my first Greg Maddux gamer to my Braves collection. This one is a 2001 home white jersey with Eddie Mathews memorial patch and post 9/11 flag patch. Maddux signed and inscribed the jersey 'game used'. I was also able to photo-match the jersey to the 2001 NLCS as well as multiple starts in the first half of the season. This makes two 2001 Braves gamers this month.

[seanbaseball]

[ndevlin]

2000-01 Omar Vizquel game used Indians bat...

[ndevlin]

A very rare Adrian Beltre game used bat from 1998. The only Beltre bat I've seen with handle tape actually, but I found a few bb cards from 1998 of his with tape. Though not sure on a photomatch by any means, this does indeed show he used tape very early in his career.

[Chess2899]

I got the 2001 Maddux signed "game used" for a 3rd party at The National. Greg only signs "game used" for me because I own most of his used clothes. Hope you enjoy it! If you want to sell it, let me know!

Two games in a row, and two BP baseballs in a row: a foul ball that was out of everyone's reach but mine Wednesday, and the last ball hit in Mariners' BP Thursday. Season: 4, Career: 1807.

2015 Adrian Beltre game used bat. Was cracked in the top of the 8th on 7/25/15 against the Angels.
