December Pick Ups

Scott - I think your 'Mike Scott no-hitter ball' post sent some good acquisition vibes flowing my way. After responding to your post earlier, I went out Christmas shopping and found a $1,200 pool cue for $18 in an antique store. It's not baseball, but it's the kind of find that allows me to keep selling vintage baseball stuff for a living.

Awesome deal! Show a picture of that bad boy when you get a minute, BTW...

It's awesome to find a genuine bargain once in a while, because it kind of offsets paying too much For other "must haves".

There are definitely great deals out there if you have specialized knowledge and know the market, FWIW.

Hi Nate,
FYI, this is exactly the same model of bat that "Pudge" Rodriguez swung in the game that Nolan Ryan recorded his final career K (Strikeout 5,714) on Sept. 17, 1993 @ Anaheim.
Pudge was his catcher in this game.

Correcto! He was a huge user of Cooper bats in the early to mid 90's, along with Rawlings. He then switched over to LS full time(for the most part) the rest of the 90's.

He is one player that ordered tons and tons of bats, and used almost every brand, so there are a lot of his bats out there. I still like collecting him though. Juiced or not, he's still one of the best catchers of all time.
