3/4 size Tigers Pennant with cloth tag reproduction company on back. I didn't see this one in Mike Egners book. Does anyone know a date on it?

My Giancarlo Stanton collection is getting bigger and bigger by the week. Here are 3 from this year that just came today.

1) Cracked on 4/10/14 against Strasburg. Was a foul ball.

2) Cracked on 4/11/14 off AJ Burnett. Cracked on a single.

3) Cracked on 4/9/14 off of Jordan Zimmerman. Cracked on an RBI single.

Here's a Gabby Hartnett 1933 Chicago World's Fair Souvenir Leather Mini Glove. So small it fits in the front pocket of my jeans!

Nate,
How do you get all these Stanton bats?

I actually did a random search a few weeks back and came across the one with the Beltre on a website. Shocked no one had bought it.

All due respect, Nate (TRULY)....why do you collect what you collect? re-sale? Investment?

I have a couple hundred Giants gamers, but I'm a Giants collector. You seem to pick up a lot of "lesser name" GU stuff and I wonder why (not that Beltre or Stanton are scrubs). Truly....I respect your collection....just curious.

I don't mind you asking at all.-- Believe it or not, I mostly collect vintage bats. I buy very little modern stuff because it really doesnt interest me much. I've recently been able to buy Beltre and Stanton bats which is why you've seen a lot from them. They are two of my favorite active players. I live in TX and get to see Beltre play everyday and it's an absolute treat. Stanton is a little different because I think he has such upside and is still very young. I'm also from the KC area so I'm a sucker for 80's Royals jerseys.

I don't buy for resale, because I sell very little of my items to begin with. I just buy what I like to collect, just for the fun of it.

basically explains everything!

Beltre has been a stud but I yearn for the days when players stayed put (ala my Giants Mays, McCovey, Marichal. Hell, even Bonds.....cuz nobody else wanted him!).
