This is why I haven't been buying many cards lately

I can say I have bought all of 5 packs of 2010 bowman. Never been a big RC guy outside of the braves, still working on my braves autograph collection, however, this is where my collecting dollars have gone lately

Billy Butler rookie season autographed game used bat. Purchased directly from the royals, only wore 21 for his rookie season before switching to his current #16.



Angel Berroa rookie season game used bat. Purchased directly from the royals. Wore #10 for his late season call up prior to his ROY season.



Mike Aviles pro debut autographed bat. Purchased from the royals, certified by MLB. Used in his major league debut according to the MLB database.



Yunel Escobar game used bat



Jordan Schafer game used rookie season bat. Purchased directly from the Braves. Used very early in the season prior to the wrist injury, as it has his spring training #64 on the cup and knob, but silver sharpie #24 on the knob. so technically a Spring training / regular season game used bat.



Jeff Francoeur game used bat. Purchased from Historic Auctions w/ PSA DNA cert



Marcus Giles Game used bat

David Justice autographed game used bat



David Justice game used bat. My first game used piece. Purchased from the Reggie Jackson Collection



Pair of seats from Fulton County Stadium



David Justice game used 1996 jersey. Most likely the only road gamer he wore in 96, playing all of 17 road games before tearing his shoulder and being out for the year.



Kris Medlen 2009 Game Used Home Rookie Jersey. Purchased directly from the Braves



Kris Medlen 2009 Game Used Road Rookie Jersey. Purchased Directly from the Braves



Adam Laroche 2009 Game Used Road Alternate Jersey. Purchased w/ Braves COA. Most likely one of the first jerseys he wore after coming back to ATL, as it lacks the Series tagging.



JP Howell Rookie year jersey. Purchased directly from the royals.



Random Dugout lineup card from a Royals / A's game in 2002. Purchased because justice was batting cleanup that day. From his last season in the majors.



2009 Braves Line up card from 7/11/09 Braves at Rockies. Signed by Bobby Cox. Purchased because I was at this game, 3 rows behind the braves dugout.



2009 Braves Line Up card from 5/29/09 Braves at Diamondbacks. Signed by Bobby Cox. Purchased because I was at this game, first row to the left of the braves dugout.



David Justice Game used batting gloves from his Braves days. MEARS certification. (have style matched the gloves to a few old cards from 92-94)



Peter Moylan 2009 Game used alternate hat. Purchased directly from the braves


and my most recent and only non-baseball purchase. From the NHL Alumni Auctions


Bryan Little 2010 Game used stick. From the April 10, 2010 Pittsburgh Penguins at Atlanta Thrashers game. Thrashers last game of the season, winning 1-0 on a Bryan Little goal. Stick has been photomatched to be the goal scoring stick. (I asked the alumni, and I was told he removed the tape on the blade before signing the stick). One of my favorite pieces because this is the first year I have really gotten into hockey and this is the stick that scored the last goal of the season for the Thrashers.




ok, back to $trasmas.

uh, well there you go! :lol:

wow man great stuff

um

Nice stuff!

That's a lot of wood.

Holy Christ !!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

MUUUUUUUCCCHHH better than Strasburg cards!!!

Nice stuff! I have recently been messing with more Game Used stuff and full size auto's too. For the prices it is much nicer than a small card.

You have made a good choice. Nice pick ups

Yeah and cost about the same

um, WOW :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Great stuff; game used is really fun to collect, each piece (especially bats, I think) is just so distinct and interesting. No two pieces are alike, either, whereas with cards a duplicate is usually just that.

Do you mind sharing how much the Howell jersey cost? I liked watching him pitch at Durham and Tampa

BAZINGA!

I thought this was a forum for collecting baseball cards.

That is quite an impressive collection. I think my favorite piece is the Aviles debut bat, but the Justice 96 jersey is pretty sweet too. Hell, it's all pretty sweet.

Great job on your collection.


David

Wow :shock:

I love the lineup cards with Cox's sig. Where'd you get them?

Thanks for the kind words guys. I picked up the braves line up cards directly from the braves via their mailing list, they had them for sale in the clubhouse store in CNN center.
Just picked up a peter moylan 2009 game used home alternate jersey today. Will take pictures when it arrives.

Amazing haul! It's all pretty impressive, but I am especially partial toward the Butler bat and the Justice Indians bat. Just gotta get a Justice Tribe jersey now
