June 2017 Pickups

[GoCrazyFolks76]

Lou Brock 1972 game worn St. Louis Cardinals jersey.

I was able to photomatch it to a wire photo as well as a few other photos.

It was originally inscribed to a guy named Dave and also signed by Rickey Henderson in addition to Brock, but since my name isn't Dave, and it made no sense to have Henderson's signature on the jersey, I got rid of the Henderson autograph, as well as both personalizations. The Brock signature is still there, although a little lighter than it was originally.

Kurt Suzuki catchers & batting helmet. This carbon fiber design helmet was used only during the Braves 2017 home opener on April 14th. It has the "Inaugural Season" emblem on the back. Unfortunately Kurt did not play so it is listed as team issued.

Very nice. I have a 3 HR bat of his from the 2014 season

[sox83cubs84]

Interesting cross-section of Kurt Suzuki items. Does Kurt know about your collection and fan interest, the way Dave Kingman knows Bob Koppel?

Thanks, it's cool to have a hr bat let alone a multiple hr bat!

[momen55]

[mrozie21]

Game used Bill Madlock jersey from 1979, all original

[Preston]

Corey Davis (Titans first round pick) mini camp worn gloves. Really nice kid who has all the physical tools. Hope this guy is the one who finally becomes the receiver the Titans have been looking for.

[sox83cubs84]

Game used Bill Madlock jersey from 1979, all original

Marvelous Madlock gamer. All original 1979 gamers are a tough thing to find.

Dave Miedema

I don't think Kurt knows about the collection. I wonder how I can get the link to my Suzuki collection to Kurt, perhaps someone on the forum knows how to get the link to my site to Kurt.

[metsbats]

Try reaching out to him thru twitter.

These days it's easier to interact with players thru social media.

When I hooked up with Ed Hearn, email or telephone was the only option.

Great looking bats Nick!

Thanks Sean, cool Musial and Molina congrats.

Added this to my collection not too long ago, Tommy Casanova's game used LSU helmet. Vintage LSU game used items, especially one of a significant player, are extremely difficult to find. It took me three months to acquire it. It was sitting on the shelf in a small restaurant in a small town. I frequented it and talked to the owners enough about it which eventually lead to me acquiring it from them. It was once owned by LSU's Heisman Trophy Winner Billy Cannon who had acquired it decades ago either from the LSU athletic dept while Casanova was playing at LSU, or from Casanova himself while he was playing at LSU. Cannon gave it to the restaurant owners as he had been to their restaurant and became friends with the owners and wanted them to have it on display with their other memorabilia.

It is sadly missing its face mask, which I have decided not to replace with a replica. The helmets rarity though makes this an afterthought. The padding has become detached as the glue had dried up, however it is present with the helmet and I would like to have it professionally reattached. Any help with who is reputable would be appreciated.

After I acquired it, I set out on a quest to attempt to photo-match it, however I knew my chances would be slim as the videos of games are not of good quality, and there are only so many photos to be found. I started searching the internet in every conceivable location, and then began looking through my collection of programs, media guides and wire photos. Then I found my helmet in an article about the equipment staff's preparation for away games in a 1971 LSU vs Florida program. It is a perfect match. I honestly couldn't believe that I was able to photo match it.

Picked up a couple of tough to find reliever jerseys from 2011 WS

[skyking26]

1981 Home Dave Kingman game used jersey; Miedema LOA. Willing to trade the jersey for other Kingman's; particularly a Road Mets.

Jacob deGrom Signed/Inscribed Career Hit #30 (RBIs 9 & 10)
Jacob deGrom Signed/Inscribed Career Hit #31

[JKD1991]

Ian Kinsler 2016 Jersey/bat from the same game. Jersey is Auth to 5 games ( Sept 9th, 11th, 12th, 14th, and 15th) bat was broke and Auth to Sept 14th. Kinsler was 8-20 wearing this jersey so good chance he used this bat for all 8 hits wearing the jersey.

[Nnunnari]

Picked up my first Ichiro bat. Numerous photo matches on Getty, Ichiro used this bat from 5/15/13-5/25/13 for career hits #2,636-2,641. MLB certified as broken on base hit against Matt Moore.
I am excited to find a bat definitively used by Ichiro during the regular season which can be pinpointed to a handful of hits. It was also nice to find an Ichiro with heavy use/ballmarks. If there are any Ichiro experts out there, I would love to hear more about his habits for cleaning his bats and/or rotating them out of play.

Another addition to my MLB flannel collection - 1969 New York Yankees game used road jersey - Mike Kekich.

The number has been changed from 18 to 62 for minor league use.

It's also missing the 100 Year MLB Anniversary Patch - so if anybody has an extra patch that you wouldn't mind parting with, please shoot me an email as I would love to have this jersey restored to it's original state.

Of course Mike Kekich is most famous for swapping wives with fellow mlb player Fritz Peterson. Looks like u need to find a Peterson jersey:)

[TigersCubs84]

That Yankees jersey will look sweet with the MLB patch. Love those old style jersey's.

Thanks buddy.

[sox83cubs84]

I picked up a slightly craked LS late 1990s Tigers bat of Tony Clark. He gave me one in the early 2000s while with the Mets, but this being a Tigers stick (and marked as such) made it appealing to me.

2011 Arian Foster game used Texans jersey. It was a gift to former teammate Derrick Ward. I photomatched it to the 12-22-11 game vs. Indy, where Foster had 158 yards and a score. Oddly the jersey was originally tagged for 2008. Maybe since it was the final game of the season, they ran out and grabbed one from the archives. Also picked up some game used jerseys, helmets and game balls from Ward's days with the Giants.

[sox83cubs84]

I got on the board with baseballs Friday night during White Sox/A's pregame. I snared 2, one a former game ball that was quite beat upu, and the other a near mint pearl. It was only my 2nd game of 2017, and the running total is now 1713.

[Vintagedeputy]

Just picked this up. Not game used, but a nice piece that I wanted to share with you guys. 1951 Hall of Fame induction brown bat.

[JKD1991]

Yadier Molina gamer. Auth to 2 games

5/18/16 - Passed Ted Simmons for most innings caught in Cardinals history.

6/15/16 - Wainwright and Molina pass Gibson/McCarver for most games pitch/catched togeather in Cardinals history.

Big thanks to Seanbaseball.

More than likely all the jerseys he wore that season were tagged 08, its pretty common actually to see tagging years old

Just picked up this "hobby fresh" bat out of San Diego.

1992/93 Tim Teufel Padres Worth model WC117 game used bat, signed by Teufel, Andy Benes, and Phil Plantier.

(https://imgbb.com/)I'm not really a Teufel or Padres collector, but this bat is (I believe) new to the hobby and I couldn't really resist picking it up.

I may try to remove the Benes and Plantier autos, unless someone talks me out of it.

Brett Phillips 2nd jersey after call-up. 6/6/17 - Saw action in the outfield later in the game. After the game saw more action as he was doused with - Chocolate Syrup? Maybe some kind of Banana product - etc.. etc... - Jersey kinda smells like a hot fudge sundae.
