October Pickups

[ironmanfan]

Some of you may recall last month that I showed the jersey's that the NYPL Aberdeen Ironbirds were wearing on 09/02 to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr. surpassing Lou Gehrig for the most consecutive games played.

They held a silent auction during the game for the jerseys worn that evening and I targeted the jersey of hitting coach Calvin Pickering, because he was the only person in uniform who actually was a teammate of Cal Ripken. Not to mention at size 54, this is easily the largest jersey I own.

After washing them and having Cal sign them all, it finally arrived yesterday:

[HawaiiSportsNut]

Many thanks to fellow forum member Adam for selling me this autographed Max Unger game used jersey. This is my very first NFL jersey. The only reason that I bought it is because I used to watch Max play high school football here in Hawaii.

I believe that the jersey is from 2011.

Wainwright game worn 2015 jersey. Worn for a couple home starts before he was injured.

[sox83cubs84]

Grabbed baseball #1808, a BP baseball from the Royals at the Sox-KC game at the Cell. The ball rolled near me and stuck under the padding in the wall...easy as pie. I'd like to hit 1810 by season's end...that'll mean having a good evening tomorrow night as the Sox host Detroit.

Dave,

Holy cow. Ive been lucky to get 15 or so game balls, including minor league, and most of those I have bought. Only one is a BP ball, the only one I have been able to snag. Guess I have a long way to go to catch up with you. Hope you get those last two ball this year. Do you have any pictures of your wall of balls? I would love to see how you display all of those.

I don't have a "wall of Balls", and generally only keep the ones from games, unless it's a milestone ball (like #1800 was). If you've been to the www.ballhawk.net site run by GUU member Dave Davison, he has a great Wall of Balls picture from his catches on the site.

'38-'39 Jimmie Foxx GU bat:

(MVP/Batting Title Year and MVP Runner Up Year)

This is my favorite pick up of late, a bat with great use, clear stampings and a really nice patina.
"The Beast" played in the shadow of Ruth and Gehrig in the AL to some extent, though putting up massive numbers, especially in this 10+ year run he had with the Philadelphia A's and then in Boston. He used this bat with the Red Sox in back-to-back incredible seasons, without a ton of protection in '38 especially.
In 1938, he won MVP, hitting .349 with 50 Home Runs and 175 RBIs, winning the batting title and leading the league in RBIs. (but not in HRs?) He also led the league in each slash line category - .462 OBP/.704 Slugging %/1.166 OPS.
In 1939, he finished 2nd in the MVP voting, though playing only 124 games, batting .360, leading league with 35 Home Runs, knocked in 105 runs. He again led the league in On Base % at .464/ Slugging % .694/ OPS of 1.158.
A big thank you to my frend for connecting me on the deal and the owner for allowing me to pick up this fantastic bat.

Another classic Ben. Previous owner knew it was going to a good home I bet.

Ben wins. Again.

Steven Souza Jr cracked bat picked up from Tropicana

[allstarsplus]

Got both sets of the Max Scherzer no-hitter catcher's gear from Wilson Ramos. All auto'd and inscribed. All got game used baseballs from both games.

Here's the full video as I got bats and cleats and other gear too and some other great Washington Nationals items

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd40tla_nhU

[R_Aaronson]

Picked these up last month...

Miguel Cabrera game used home batting gloves

-Randy

[soxbats]

Andrew, love that catchers gear, great that he was willing to sign everything up.

[MLB_Authentic]

I picked up a 2014 Francisco Lindor Game Used Bat. This bat is cool because it is one of 2 samples that Chandler sent Lindor. He had a deal with LVS at the time but thought this bat was harder. He was planning to use it in the Futures game so the Chandler logo was removed and replaced with a LVS logo. When he arrived at the futures game he decided to use the regular LVS. This bat was with him at the futures game and was also used at Double A Akron. It comes directly from Lindor via one of his good friends and team mate. The forum is telling me that my photos are too large and I cannot resize. alexandriasenators@gmail.com

[truvalue123]

That Ramos video is both cool, and, creepy...an explanation why he is turning over Hall of Fame worthy material in a parking garage would be an even better story...

[JDF5244]

Yep, not sure why, but I too found that video to be a touch creepy.....:confused:
Cool gear though!

[allstarsplus]

Andrew, love that catchers gear, great that he was willing to sign everything up.

Thanks. A Hall of Fame quality haul! He's now caught 3 no-hitters in the fastest to that point in history. 1 more ties him with Jason Varitek for the catcher's record. :D

[allstarsplus]

He had the gear in his car to meet me before he left town. He has caught 3 no-hitters and kept his 1st no-hitter and kept the catcher's mitt from all no-hitters.

[camarokids]

Here is the recent shipment from Tropicana Field.

Straight from the Trop!


Game used bats from Matt Moore, JP Arencibia, Richie Shaffer, Luke Maile, Daniel Nava and Asdrubal Cabrera.



I have photo matched the Shaffer, Nava and possibly the Cabrera bat. Shaffer pics are from the Sept 7th game against Detroit. Bat is MLB Authenticated to the Sept 8th game, broken in the tenth inning. This is only the second bat the Rays received from Shaffer. They just received a third bat of his from the last road trip.

Wainwright game worn 2015 jersey. Worn for a couple home starts before he was injured.

Nice Waino...

[Swoboda4]

David Wright 8/31/2015 Mets camo game used home jersey. From MLB auctions. No two camo jerseys are alike so photo matching is "pretty, pretty" easy.

[gaming]

Julius Thomas Cleats -2014 season - photo-matched to about 3-4 games

Julius Thomas Gloves that caught Peyton Mannings 500th TD! Kinda neat to have something tied to that historical moment!

Ive been lurking around a long time on GUU, glad to join the ranks!

[sox83cubs84]

Just acquired a nice White Sox home BP worn by Vance Law from the 1983 Winning Ugly AL West Champs White Sox. It's dated to 1983 based on the supplier (Roman Sports) and the style, as the 1982 BP unis were made by Sand-Knit. Thanks, Joe!

Dave Miedema

[GoGators]

Just added this grail to my collection.


One-of-a-kind game-worn Eric Staal captain's jersey from the Carolina Hurricanes Rod Brind'Amour night. This was worn for the full game and actually shows wear. Pretty cool to be the captain's jersey from the night that recognized the player from whom he inherited the C.


Still pinching myself on this one.

I just got, with my wife's financial help, the Goodwill store find of my lifetime (so far). It's White Sox 2006 home jersey issued to, worn (briefly) and signed by A. J. Pierzynski. The interiot tag is 0062, witha +1" Body tag, and the tail tag is 06 52 S10. It also has the 2005 World Champs patch on the left sleeve. The price wasn't a usual Goodwill price like $9.99...it was notably more...but still an excellent buy.

That is too South of the Border for me to collect.

The only thing I have below the waist is some shin guards.

To each their own though.....

[seanbaseball]

And I was questioning my purchase of cleats. lol I feel ok about it now!

[Preston]

Great find buddy! Our Goodwills in Nashville they consider jerseys as "shirts" and they're $4.99, crazy some of the stuff you can find at these places. I've also found game worn Titans jerseys and I check my area's stores regularly for things. And thankfully (knock on wood) most of the people who shop there don't want those "oversized jerseys of people they don't know who the player is".

I've slowed down considerably lately, but I did find two cool Blues items recently.

These pucks were scored by Scottie Upshall and Carl Gunnarsson, but I was more interested in who assisted the goals. Joel Edmundson earned his first career NHL point on the Upshall goal while Colton Parayko earned his first career NHL assist on the Gunnarsson goal. They've both been impressive additions so far for the Blues.
