OK, hit up a few estate sales yesterday. Found some decent stuff, but this is the best thing I've ever found. Was a little shocked at how high the price was on it until I did some research on my phone.
This is a 1964 H&G Louisville Slugger St. Louis Cardinals World Series Black Bat. These bats were only given to the players, coaches, high ranking front office executives, and baseball dignitaries. So there is a good chance there are less than 100 of these out there and I'd bet many of them are in collections that'll never leave the family. It has the signatures/names of all the players on the team including Gibson, Brock, Flood, McCarver, and others.
Paid $60 for it. Not in the best condition, but who knows who this used to belong to and they sell in the hundreds.
Just a neat piece of history, something that could be in a HOF, imo.

Put it on eBay for a high BIN/BO, but it'd have to be an offer that blows me away to sell right now. It's neat to have.

Well, stopped at my local Goodwill today as I had to run an errand at the Dollar Store next door. I had stopped there exactly 2 weeks ago so did not expect to find anything exciting. Had two basketball related finds today.
First book I picked up was this.......
Williams is a basketball executive with the Orlando Magic.
No other books had any signatures and most I had seen before.
Went over to the sporting goods section which is usually pretty junky when I spotted this.........
I am almost 100% certain it says: "To Westin" and is signed by Ben Gordon and by Tyrus Thomas #24 .
Any Bulls fans that could verify those signatures? Any idea if this has any value?

Hey Rum: Need your expert advice on bats again. I keep looking in hopes of finding a Z-core, but no go yet. This guy has a bunch of bats but I only know from this thread so not sure if they are worth getting. Bat one is an Easton "Black Magic" 2 3/4 Inch barrel 30 inch - 23 oz. Bat two is an Easton "Triple 7" 2 5/8 barrel 31 inch - 26 oz. Worth picking up to make a few bucks? Thanks in advance.

I hit up a different goodwill in my hometown before I stopped at a friends house. Picked up a couple of fitted new era hats that had minimal use for $1 and $2, A couple of knit hats for $2 each, John Randle Logo Athletic Jersey for $6, Springboks Rugby Jersey for $4 and a nice zip up Starter jacket for $3. The best part wasn't even sports related, I got a very nice, looks like it was never used Ralph Lauren overcoat for $7. The problem is it barely fits, I need to drop some poundage anyways.
