Here are some photos of my other favorite piece in my collection. This is Nolan Ryan's game used mitt from his 5,000th strikeout on 8/22/89. Mostly everyone that follows baseball knows that fellow HOF'er Rickey Henderson became Ryan's 5,000 K milestone. I believe that Ryan used this mitt for all of the 1989 season, where he led the American League with 301 strikeouts (his sixth and final time he struck out 300 in a season), and also was the winning pitcher in the '89 All-Star game in Anaheim. The mitt exhibits tremendous use and came directly from Nolan Ryan with 100% rock solid provenance. I have included a photo of an iconic photo of Ryan immediately after the 5,000th K, where he his tipping his hat to the crazed Texas croud of 42,800 fans. I am currently working on getting an original photo from the photographer.

I am not a collector but I do play baseball myself and always love vintage baseball items. I came across these 2 pieces at a garage sale and bought them just because of how cool they looked. Later, I did research and found out that they have some value. Even if they turned out not to be valuable I would have still bought them just because of how cool they look.

Great posts by everyone....
Matt, the Cobb Bat is stunning, and Magic1313- those are the nicest decals I have ever seen. Both of those were absolutely "babied" for only about 100 years..... unheard of! |

Yeah, when the guy told me what decade he thought they were from I thought he was full of sh## because they looked new.
Turns out he was right. Last edited by magic1313; 02-25-2010 at 12:05 AM. |

Kinda on the unconventional side, and not at all part of the "collection" so to speak, but here is an item that I hold pretty dear considering where it came from, where I went to get it, and as a memory of those who were with me...319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division...Iraq 2003.
