August Pick-ups

[Pinstripes]

Well it's now the month of August and i figured we could use a new thread for new August purchases. Here are a couple of mine which i just snagged off of MLB Auctions.

[metsbats]

I just picked up Mike Bordick's game used 2000 World Series bat. It even has nice WS ball marks (gold stamping) on the barrel. I was able to video match it during one of his at bats during game 3.

Here are photos of this bat. (I hit submit a little too soon)

[gameused]

Just got this David "Big Papi" Ortiz Nokona bat in, black barrel with a brown handle. Bat shows nice use with ball marks, deep seam marks, cleat marks and pine tar.

[harpt]

I just picked up this Ted Simmons glove from MEARS. Recently, at a signing with Ted Simmons, I happened to be standing right next to Troy Kinunen as he was getting this glove signed. Simmons grabs the glove and starts saying "Hey, that's my Trapper...this is my Trapper" and then he signed it "MY TRAPPER-GAME USED"

I told myself--then and there--if Troy ever sells this glove I am going to buy it. I was excited to see it listed this week.

[Sheffield11]

Just picked up a Manny Ramirez Game Used Cracked in half bat that i photomatched to a HR against the yanks. also buying another manny bat from Bobby (gameused), and a Roger Clemens GU 05 World Series Hat.
Will post pics later.

Metsbats - that Bordick is awesome. I was going to make a run at it but I figured you were in the hunt and I defered.

[Vintagedeputy]

I just picked up a black Louisville Slugger bat of Dane Sardinha. He had a cup of coffee with the Reds in 2003 and 2005 and now is with the Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers AAA) as a catcher. Bat is absolutely hammered with all of the right stuff. It has a moderate handle crack but its on one piece.

If any Tigers fans are interested, I'm taking best offers. I'm not going to put a price on it just yet. You can email me at Deputy7621@aol.com.

[dcrules01]

I also had it on my watch list but stepped aside in after I saw David was bidding.Glad you won it congrats..

[metsbats]

Thanks Scott! I owe you one buddy!

Pinstripes,

Nice! What players jerseys are these?

[brianborsch]

It looks like negro league throwback jerseys of James Loney (#7) and Matt Kemp (#27). Just curious, how much did these end at? Last I saw they were in the $1,200 range. I wanted to bid, but it was way out of my price range.

[ham1963]

I won the Randy Wolf from MLB Auctions:p

Vintagedeputy,

Thanks! This is one of the great things about the forum as we know what each other collect and try to help each other out. Though i'm not one to be bother if we all compete on a auction item i truly appreciate these type of gestures.

David

[XPFO]

Here are my goodies...most came from the Tigers directly as I finally made it down there to claim everything I had bought.

Granderson TBTC full uniform/Granderson 2007 Road Set 1/Ordonez Negro League Jersey Unwashed

Magglio Ordonez TBTC jersey/pants with bat he used to hit his home run in that game...the bat is hammered and covered in pinetar, a real beauty

Gary Sheffield El Paso Diablo's Gary Sheffield Game worn BP/Sunday Game jerseys Mears A10/Alex Rios Set 1 Road Jersey 2006/Odalis Perez Negro Leagues jersey and hat

[dcrules01]

Sweet pickups now that is a haul..

[brianborsch]

My Oh My, the maggs full uniform along with hsi bat used in that game must be the most amazing combo ever. Is the maggs bat uncracked?

Brian B

[XPFO]

Yes it is uncracked.

[TNTtoys]

Here is my key pickup for the month, no surprise... Tom Gordon rookie year baby blue road jersey. Though I am primarily a Mets collector, I always had a weakness for a classic 70s & 80s style jersey.

The jerseys set me back $2200 which was probably to much but i really wanted them. Besides a portion of the money went to charity so it was a win/win situation for everyone.

David,

Having grown up as a Yankee fan and hating the Mets as any good Yankee fan did back then, my interest was more in the uniqueness of that bat as a post season item. I'd much rather see it go to a Mets fan like yourself who will truly enjoy it.
Now, being in Richmond, Va. and following the Nats, I have a new reason to dislike the Mets! The NL East is going to get very, very interesting in the next few years! Go Nats!

Regards,
Jim

[metsbats]

Jim,

Now I'm glad you didn't get the bat because it would have ended up in enemy territory:D

Part of the reason i collect what i do is because i live in NY and have this warped facination of bringing these pieces back "home" so to speak. It never ceases to amaze me to see how well traveled some of these game used items have become. For instance the Bordick bat was in Atlanta Georgia (prime enemy territory!).

Now if only I can get Kylehess to part with Kurt Abbott's GU 2000 bat barrel I can get that piece out of prime enemy territory too;)

As an aside I was glad to to see Washington DC get baseball again. In 2004 my family and I went to Montreal for vacation with the intention of seeing he Expos during their last year there. It was really a shame to see only 3-4,000 people at Olympic stadium knowing that the Expos were leaving the next year. I'm sure the Mets and Yankees will have sell out crowds all of 2008 the last year at Yankee and Shea stadiums.

David

[Vintagedeputy]

It is great having a major league team so close. The Nats here lately are playing like their on a playoff mission, although I think that they may fall short. :)

[gameused]

Latest Manny Ramirez pick up!

Sam bat hammered with use, tons of pine tar with grass, ballmarks, seam marks and short taped handle that Manny can be seen using at bat lately. I think I may have a photo match on this one, will post pics later.

Love the Negro League jerseys..

[jlew22]

Picked up a Brendan Harris game used minor league jersey from his time with the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx in 2003. Was looking for advice on getting it signed for a display. The back is kind of plain so I was figuring he could sign the front with black sharpie. Is this going to bleed? Give me some tips on how you think I should get it signed.

[Pinstripes]

Those Negro League jerseys are fantastic.

Dwight Gooden game used glove (from his Yankees days)
My flash really lightened up the color of the glove- it's actually a lot darker than the pics show.

Most people get baseball jerseys signed on the front anyway. I'd get it signed right on the jersey, not on the number. Also, a big, fat sharpie works better on baseball jerseys than a standard-sized sharpie.

[jlew22]

Thanks for the advice. I got it signed today by heading to Tropicana early. Got a real good picture of Brendan signing the jersey too. Asked him if he remembered it and he laughed and responded "yeah". I'm posting an updated picture of the jersey and also the only "picture" I can find of Brendan wearing it.

[ahuff]

Recent pickup which was one of my "Holy Grail" items.

[drutter]

Hey XPFO - Do you still own the Sheffield El Paso jersey?
