Unique Steve Garvey items to share?

[mrmopar]

This reminded me of a couple of jerseys that sold on ebay many years back. They were advertised as prototypes for a new San Diego Padres design that never made the cut. There were three different listed at the same time. All had no player name on the back, but each had the #6. I couldn't say for sure if the era was ever right, but it would seem too coincidental that #6 was selected if it were not Garvey's time frame with the team. They were made by Rawlings. I won 2 of the 3. If I remember, the coolest design in my opinion was the one I lost. Not sure if they are the real deal or not, but have never seen anything like them since. I know very little about authentic uniforms. Hell, these could even be from some high school team for all I know…

I have not thought about them for years, but broke them out to photograph.

I traded it to a dealer in Orange County about 10 years ago. Sorry I don't have a picture.

I purchased it off Ebay a while back because it has Lou Brock on it, but it also has Garvey.

Same story here. Brock is on the box, but so is Garvey, the picture I have is not the best here.

I borrowed the image from Sterling but this was my consignment. It is an 8.5 x 11 premium handed out at Dodger Stadium the night Garvey moved into fourth place on the consecutive games played list. I was at the game. It has Garvey stats and pictures of the top three consecutive games played leaders on the back. I picked up several of them that night and still have one.

Thank you for the replies so far. Please keep them coming if you have anything unique.

David, I have the large display piece, as well as the signed balls to go with the promotion, but I think you beat me out of the large wiffle ball display box. I remember losing out on one on ebay. I do have the individual box fearing Garvey. I also understand there is a wiffle bat/ball combo with cards on them that might feature a Garvey disc among others, but have not seen one before.

I am sure you are aware that the Signature Miniature card below comes with and without stats on the reverse.

He was a great player and should be in the HOF.

IMO he, like several from his era, are left out due to the steroids inflated offensive stats immediately upon his retirement making his accomplishments seem less.

Now, in hind site of the steroid era, we can look back on his statistics and appreciate how great he was. I hope the veteran's committee votes him in one day.

Trivia Question - What do these 4 players have in common with the legendary Dodger infield of many years - Garvey 1B, Lopes 2B, Russell SS, and Cey 3B?

[Batter67up]

I have this painting of Garvey and his infield teammates that they have all signed.

This isn't TERRIBLY unique, but I haven't seen this inscription set...

Can't believe the amazing variety of Garvey material. Here's a nice vintage pinback --
