October Pick Ups
 

Picked up what is probably the ugliest jersey ever. That's why I had to have it. 1973 Padres home of coach Bob Skinner.

I like that jersey!!!!

Tony Oliva bat used during the 1965 season.

Some 1960s Twins game used bats:

Frank Quilici
Jerry Kindall
Cesar Tovar
Frank Kostro
Rich Rollins
Jerry Zimmerman
Don Mincher
Bernie Allen

Great bats Chris! The Oliva is very nice!

That's a nice haul of bats Chris -- they look great all together like that.

Greg

Thank you so much for the kind words, Tim and Greg. It means a lot coming from you two since my collection is firewood compared to what you guys have :)

I am working on the 65 Twins set, but there are a few tough ones. I will probably never find a John Sevcik bat, but I guess the thrill is in the hunt.

Chris

Firewood? Not hardly. I believe that when you take the financial aspect out of the equation and really concentrate on the patience and time it takes to put together these collections (team sets, etc) you find that they all have that same element in common.

These bats are as near and dear (hence valuable) to you as mine are to me and Greg's are to him. The beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder and that's really why there are so many variables in the collecting world. There are so many different aspects and options for collecting themes.

Those Rangers jerseys are fantastic! The Rangers are my favorite team and I don't get to see a whole lot of Rangers stuff. Very nice
