Mets E-Bay Baubles of the Day 2006

[Guest Edgy DC]

We'll let some of the ongoing threads fade into the archives.

Today, on the cheap side, we have Mets tongue rings.

On the more expensive side, we have this lot, primarily of contracts, some "certified," some not.

2006

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's going to be a long year.

[Guest rpackrat]

365 days, to be exact.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Championship ring, no source listed, so I'm guessing replica.

Four days left on the Mets flag from Busch Stadium.

Why would Gil Hodges sign this ugly cap?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A more pressing question is who would actually have paid money to buy such an ugly hat?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I guess I thought nothing that ugly existed before, say, 1985. But it's likely true that we've tended to destroy things that ugly from before 1985.

Joe McCarthy's 1964 Mets ice bucket:



An animation cel of Betty Boop sexing up Jeff McKnight's uniform:

[seawolf17]

Actually, if that's a #15, and it's from 1992, that would Kevin Elster she's sexing up.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

That Betty Boop thing is hideous. I might buy it just so that I can destroy it.

[seawolf17]

If only we knew a Mets fan who was getting married...

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Who would marry a Mets fan??

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A perrenially tortured individual in search of a symapthetic soul mate to share their despair with for all eternity?

Or it could be a person of discerning taste.

[metirish]

Over the weekend I won the bidding for this Pedro jersey, $32 was the winner...it's authentic they say...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Very very cool item, which is scary, because it's tempting me.


New York Mets Scouting Kit.

[soupcan]

I don't know how you could verify its authenticity, but if real that would be a cool thing to have.

You should definitely bid Edge.

OE:

Upon further reading - I'm not an ebay guy - is the price $1,000.00? That's ridiculous, don't bid Edge.

[seawolf17]

Seems shifty to me. The logo seems too hand-painted.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The opening bid is $250. The "Buy It Now (and End All Bidding)" price is $1000.

[Guest cooby]

Geez, for that price it better be hand painted by one of the Mets and contain all the scouts notes

[Frayed Knot]

Maybe that kit contains "The Plan", in which case there's no limit as to what you should spend to get it.

[seawolf17]

That implies that "The Plan" exists somewhere outside of Jeff Wilpon's Starting Lineup action figures.

[metirish]

Wouldn't you look the part now walking through the Metro or Grand Central with that case, that and the M Doanld Grant Sports jacket would be a good match.

[Guest cooby]

metirish, did you win that Pedro jersey? Let us know what it's like

[Guest cooby]

Yeah, you'd look the part all right...

[metirish]

Yeah I won it, I was only bidding against one other person, waiting for it to be shipped...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Suckas tryin' to play me like they's old school:

[Guest Edgy DC]

Original press kit.

This is exactly the type of stuff I dig, but no way am'n I going to attack that opening bid. Nope, uh-uh.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

wow.

[Guest KC]

That English dude (one photo from the bottom) I see all over ebay selling
tee shirts and he models every single one. I wonder if he's getting rich online.

[Guest Edgy DC]

1965 Coloring Book.



KC already has that one.

Another vintage tee, this one for your pride celebration.



Best LIFE ever.
