February 2014 "Pick-Ups" Thread

Glad the road jersey was a nice fit/match for you, always nice having a personal connection to an item! I just added this jersey yesterday...game used Los Rojos worn during 5/11 & 9/27 games by Frazier (hit 19th HR during 9/27 game). Always wanted the style and happy to grab his for decent price.

Great looking jersey. I gave it a thought but decided to just focus on other items of his. Nice addition!

Just picked up an AFL San Diego Chargers Jersey with quite a bit of Chargers history. This was worn by Orlando Ferrante during the 1961 season. This was their inaugural season in San Diego having just moved from LA after one year. The Jersey was worn for all season home games, winning the 1st western division in SD and worn for the AFL Championship that was played in San Diego's Balboa Stadium at the end of the season. This is the first ever AFL/NFL Football Championship played in SD. As you can see it was incredibly preserved for 53 years. It was stored in total darkness which helped it retain the rich original luster of the Gold and Blue team colors with little to no fading after all these years.

That is a gorgeous Chargers' jersey, Jdon64. Congrats on one heck of a pickup!

Thanks JDubbs...I still can't believe I was lucky enough to acquire it.

Amazing Chargers jersey! Congrats on the pick-up.

Picked these up at separate times. Just really happy to be able to get them in the same collection.

2001 game used first bases - MLB certified. Last ever hits for each of Ripken (October 5 - 3,184) and Gwynn (October 6 - 3,141). Both are signed, but Gwynn is relatively light.

Trying to determine the best place to display. Running out of space.

Just got in cracked and repaired X-Bat made for Carlos Lee, but apparently used by Harold Baines, which would date it to 2000-01.
