If i may ask for a item worth that much $$, do they still send it regular mail or in a armored truck.

Great bat Al and congrats!

Probably Fed Ex/UPS, covered by their insurance policy, but some things just can’t be replaced...

Thanks man! Still waiting. It is coming this week, so I will snap some pics of the packaging. For $450 shipping, I am assuming that it will be well packed and via FEDEX. Let’s see!

Yah I was just kiddn about it being Kirks.

And, if you can videotape the police escort of the mailman down your street, would love to see its arrival.

Off eBay I picked up this Dugout Lineup card (written in manager Earl Weaver's hand) from Cal Ripken Jr.'s rookie season of 1982...I had to do a little research to determine it was from the game of 08/02/82 vs. Boston

Glad someone here won that. I was watching it and planned on putting down a serious bid (quite a bit higher than it sold for), but mistook when the auction ended and totally missed bidding. Very cool piece!

I always liked "The Gibson Mitt". I lucked into this Rawlings Gibson mitt with the snap button heel before it became the "Professional Model". Only one I have seen like this.

That made me laugh so hard! Thanks. I got the visual on that one!!

Picked up this 1951 Jacobellis Rookie Mays Type 1 photo to go along with my 1951 Jacobellis Rookie Mantle Type 1 photo. I love these crystal clear contact prints.

[Runscott]

That Mantle is stellar

[yankeesjetsfan]

Love that Mantle pic!

Mike

[TUM301]

Ben great Mantle sir, but WOW that Mays image literally jumps off the picture ! Really think the angle makes it that much more appealing, enjoy the both of them.

[Jobu]

Al --- HOLY COW!!! Excellent bat! Congrats on winning that Gibson!

Ben - I love the Mays and Mantle photos.

Scott - The Baseball Magazine artwork is really nice. I feel like I have seen a real photo of that street car image - do you know if those are based on real photos?
