Unique Steve Garvey items to share?

[mrmopar]

My additions of late are few and far between, so I thought I would see if anyone has any really cool Steve Garvey items that they are willing to share a scan of? I know Al has that Topps puffy sticker prototype and the 80 tops test coin. I've seen and drooled over those time and time again. Any others? Older cards on top of cellos/racks, memorabilia, rare cards, etc?

At one time I had a prototype San Diego uniform made for Garvey, but never worn. It was from the mid-'80s I believe. It was tan with orange pinstripes, made by Sand Knit I think. They were never used, of course.

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

This is likely his toughest Topps item. Carew too. Maybe not on Jackson.

Here are the silver ones

How about the 1977 Burger Chef Panel

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 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.

Here is my 13" X 19" LeRoy Neiman pencil sketch which would qualify as an uncorrected error if it was a card...

As Cal Ripken Jr. moved up the list of consecutive games played, I decided to make my own cachets (I would drive down to Baltimore and have envelopes postmarked). This is one is from 08/17/89 when he passed Garvey. I would subsequently type my own copy, affix a sticker and have them signed:

I don't have rarities. Just a thanks to all who posted and reminded me of my favorite player as a kid.

I finally dug out the package that introduced me to a game that I am not sure was ever actually made and sold. Check out the blog entry I did on it today.

I think this would be my only real oddball piece from Garvey. This isn't mine (didn't feel like digging mine out) but I have one of these Nestle Kwik canisters from back in the day. Not only is this one not mine but mine also lacks the autograph.

here's my 1976 topps nolan garvey card! ...i mean steve ryan. ...i mean nolan ryan front, steve garvey back.

don't think psa will grade it, but it's in amazing shape!

[mrmopar]

If that was not yours on ebay a few months back, someone else has one as well. I couldn't touch the asking price of the one offered, but that is a cool item and a pretty nice front to have.

[begsu1013]

I did get it off ebay and sounds about the same timeframe I picked it. had my eye on it for a while, as it was a crazy original asking price. think he started at $500 or so and after a while finally made an offer and picked it up for $150 or so...to this date I hadn't seen another one other prior or post pick up.

Dug this one out. Have seen at least one other subject, Magic Johnson, on ebay. I assume this is from a So. Cal. newspaper, but unsure which one.

After viewing all of these cool Garvey items it "almost" makes me want to become a dual player collector instead of a single player collector!
