Re: Detroit Tigers GU

Very cool Avila bat, Joe. As for the Davis bat, does the MLB hologram say it was from the HR? The reason I ask is the slight differences in font sizing (due to POV angle) and placement of pine tar and ball marks. I know the odds are unlikely of being so close and not a match, but I would be interested to know if MLB also noted it as the HR bat.

No it is not authenticated as a HR bat. I'm confident it is in fact the HR bat though. Other angles of the bat were matched including tar where his hands hold and of the knob. If the font looks different its only because it is hard to take a picture at the right angle to match the angle of the screenshot.

Ahh, okay. Cool item, nevertheless.

Thanks! It is also unique because the bat is branded for Matt Tuiasosopo who is no longer on the team. Here is another look at part of the match. The SAM BAT logo has an imperfection on it, almost looks like a circle on the "wing" of the bat.

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

Could have been worse Tony... I waited in line hour and a half before they told me he wasn't going to be there... then left my item for drop off and now have no idea when he's going to sign my Tigers used hat...

Re: Detroit Tigers GU

I was going to post a Negro League jersey that I had just bought, but oh that's right, I contacted Marc while the game was playing telling him I was interested in one and he said he would let me know what he was going to do with them. Then he never let me know, and then saw them all listed on a Ebay now by one seller.

His response: "I sold them to Topps at an offer I couldn't refuse." Nope, not good enough for me. Topps then sold them to BERGIE'S SPORTS CARD DUGOUT, INC in IL??, because that's who's on Ebay selling them.

Sorry guys, I was really frustrated by that.
