mail day ~ "Tim Lincecum Professional Debut Lineup Card"

nurvanna · Dec 28, 2010

thank you for viewing and or voting

this item is pretty interesting. they seem authentic and naturally aged - what you'd expect these to be like for almost 5 years old...not that i'm a document expert. these have this sort of soft weight feel to them. i'm pretty happy with these.

"This is the official lineup card from the professional debut of now San Francisco Giants ace, Tim Lincecum. Lincecum made his professional debut on July 26, 2006, with the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes (the Giants' Class A Short Season affiliate) against the Vancouver Canadians (the A's affiliate), pitching one inning and striking out all three batters he faced. This is the actual official game lineup card (actually both home and visitor cards) submitted by Volcanoes Manager Steve Decker (himself a future big-league manager?). This is a truly unique, and literally one-of-a-kind piece of San Francisco Giants history! (Emmanuel Burriss is also listed on this lineup)"

I played high school ball with #2.

And I'm not exactly sure how I'd feel about him signing this, but I would have this sealed and/or authenticated either way.

Thats a great find. I would have Lincy sign it on the top or bottom, next to his name if there wasn't writing there.

RZimm11 · Dec 28, 2010

I voted to sign it. That's a pretty cool item.

But did they really charge $25 to ship it???

yes they did. i saw that in the auction and asked about it. i said that was an unreasonable amount to charge for just 1st class shipping. i was surprised that it arrived - well packaged and as certified mail.

rbadger · Dec 28, 2010

I would have him sign and if possible inscribe it with something like "Pro Debut"

eRock · Dec 28, 2010

Thank you for outbidding my roommate...that was supposed to be my Christmas present

TBTwinsFan · Dec 28, 2010

I would say no, unless you could get it signed by the entire team, but since it is his pro debut, I would say go for it.

johnny rook · Dec 28, 2010

If that were my lineup card I would try to get it signed. So I voted yes. It would look cool displayed in a nice frame.

That's my birthday.

What the....

Tedw9 · Dec 28, 2010

I voted no. It's a one of a kind piece, there will not be another. If you want to get something signed, get an 8x10 signed and have it framed with this lineup card. Or maybe frame the card with a signed rookie card.

It would be cool to bring Lincecum something from a day I'm sure he'll remember. I'm sure he'd enjoy talking about that day with you if you were to bring him this item.

thanks everyone for your comments and votes. i'm still unsure what i'll do seeing how it will be his current signature as opposed to his early style. i've got a little over 5 weeks to decide. i'll pick up the salem-keizer card just in case i decide to go that route. it would be nice to find a shot of him pitching.

so awesome that it actually landed in the hands of someone here. Congrats

Frame it with the card and an 8X10 and get either the card or 8X10 or both signed, but not the line-up cards. Take the line-up card as a conversation piece with Lincecum, but the line-up card is already signed by the Manager Decker and the two sigs to me would look weird without others on the team.

... had never used ebay before and I had no idea what it might cost me to ship (had visions of some guy in Indonesia buying it for a dollar and having to ship it)... so... sorry about that... however, $50 overall seems pretty fair I think?

It is absolutely real... It had been sitting in a pocket a "gear bag" since walking off the field... my 2 year old son unzipped the zipper and pulled out about 200 old lineup cards. I was casually looking through them before throwing them away and saw this one. (also have smardzja w/ boise @ tri-cities... not sure if that was his first game or not... tyler colvin was on that team too...you'd have to be a real cubs fanatic to think somethin of that one I'm sure...) It is my writing on it (front during game, back after... Bob Richmond said he was going to have us mail them all in at the end of the season- didn't happen)... I listed our crew and signed the back...
