September Pickups

Beautiful frames/pennants, Greg.... What a stroke of luck, finding the perfect styles/sizes! Those two pennants are really unique!

And I LOVE that Pirates Eye Patch, Mike.... never seen one before... Gotta be one of very few remaining

Tying those two themes together (Pennants and that Eye Patch)... here's a pretty rare, circa 1960 Pirates Pennant with the same theme...

MLB auctioned off the 'Marineros' jerseys last night, from Seattle's 'Latin American Beisbol' night this year.

I only wanted one, but didn't understand how the auction worked, and ended up with three. Got the main one I wanted - Paxton - plus Seager and Carson Smith. The Cano was awesome - pine tar all over it, and I was able to photo-match it. Unfortunately, it went for $2,800 so I got out of the bidding early.

One of these three will be the one I wear to the playoffs this year. yeah, right

Very cool, Scott... and you never know.... 2 games out of the Wild Card with 3 to play. Stranger things have happened!

Who else did you get (besides Paxton?)

I got Seager and Carson Smith. Probably overpaid, especially after seeing this morning that they added tax , but my thinking is that they only used this design for one day, so probably more valuable than 'normal' game-used jerseys, so perhaps I can use them for trade bait if I get tired of them.

I really, really wish others hadn't been so interested in the Cano!

One of the better conditioned Albums that I have ever seen. I posted this on the card side but I also thought that this is memorabilia piece as well. I am looking for ideas on how to display it and peoples thoughts on removing the string and or changing one of the pages for a better conditioned one if I were so inclined? Thanks

Wow that's a beautiful item. I think it would be best for you to display it at my house

Yep. The Rangers really wanted to knock out the A's, but it wasn't to be. GREAT season, and unexpected, for the Mariners. Picked up two baseballs over the last two nights: Paxton strikeout of Trout from last night, and foul ball by Trout off Hernandez during his first inning strikeout today. Can't go wrong with Cy Young vs AL MVP, right? (sit down, Kluber).

Hi Scott, sorry I couldn't go to last nights game. I wasn't aware that you were at the game today. I know you jokingly refer to me as a hoarder. I am guilty as charged Nonetheless, I took a page from your book and also purchased a game used Mariners ball from today’s game. Coincidently I too picked up a ball pitched to potential 2014 AL MVP Mike Trout by potential 2014 AL Cy Young Winner Felix Hernandez. I thought it was cool that Felix clinched the ERA title today and this pitch was from Trout’s last at bat of the season in the top of the 4th inning.

That must have been the pitch in the dirt. I was the 5th guy in line and I only saw two Hernandez/Trout balls. You must have been right behind me!
