Re: August Pickups!!!

Nice Jeff! And congrats on your pickup of the Kolten Wong Futures game cap! I think I picked up the GU bat he used from the Futures game, and while he didn't get a hit in the game, I managed to swoop up a MLB Auth ball he grounded out with in the 1st inning. Working on the photomatch for the bat now.

Re: August Pickups!!!

Correction, my Wong bat is authenticated to the Futures Game, so I am trying to verify it via the photomatch.

Singles of William Powell, Michael Floyd and D'Anthony Batiste.

And for good measure, a signed (not game used or issued) authentic Nike home jersey of Larry Fitzgerald

Re: August Pickups!!!

Ron... Miranda & enjoyed our visit with you as well. I may be on Oahu sometime in November for a doctor's visit, hopefully we can see you at that time too. A visit with you is way better than a visit with the doctor.

Brian... Because of my budget I have been concentrating only on my Suzuki collection. I haven't collected anything of Kolten Wong in quite some time. Did you get the Wong cleats that was on eBay? Congratz on the futures bat.

Don... Thanks. Hopeful my wife will tell me how she found the catchers gear, the suspense is killing me. I am planning to remodel my collection room in the near future. I hope to buy a full sized mannequin to display the catchers gear, that is why I am looking for a pair of game used pants.

momen55... You just have to be patient for a catcher's gear to pop up for sale, or really lucky like in my case.

Re: August Pickups!!!

Rick,

No unfortunately I did not. Someone beat me to it.

But I am glad I got the bat. And the bat you sold me is awesome too so thanks for that. Yeah your Suzuki collection is the best in the business man! Congrats on all the great pickups!

Wong's stuff is hard to find though. Looking for more bats if I can...keeping my eyes peeled.

Re: August Pickups!!!

Did you see the Wong jersey in the MiLB auctions. The last time I looked the bid was at $150. I believe that the auction ends today. Wish that I wasn't so broke. lol...

Re: August Pickups!!!

Yeah, I saw it, but that was the BP jersey. They actually wore their real MiLB outfits in the game. It's nice...but not sure if I want to drop cash on it. I'd rather get a good game issued or uncracked used bat of his.

Even for myself, regular issued items are always a priority.

Re: August Pickups!!!

Rick,

Agreed! I hope Suzuki does well in DC. I still think he will put it all together with the bat. I know he has had some struggles. I know he can do it as he has done it before.

I also hope Wong gets a call up next year sometime. He's being challenged in AA though. It's good for him. Would love to get one of his regular season MiLB jerseys....or an uncracked or even unused MiLB bat of his.

Rick - Congratulations on the Suzuki catcher's gear! You have put together an impressive Suzuki collection.

Re: August Pickups!!!

Thanks Austin... I am trying my best to do so. I hope to get Kurt over to my house during the off season. I heard rumors that he may be doing a baseball camp in my area.

Re: August Pickups!!!

Picked up a Mark Reynolds signed/inscribed MLB authenticated game bat along with a John Olerud Mets game used bat from the National.

Then came across this absolute gem, Carlos Beltran game used MLB authenticated jersey from the final opening day at Shea.

Already have the Beltran framed up in my man cave next to my Endy Chavez from the same season.
