“Pin-Up” of the Week: Jamie Moyer 2002 Seattle Mariners 25th Anniversary Pin

Photobucket

At age 49, Jamie Moyer has signed a minor league deal with the Colorado Rockies.  Fans will be able to watch him during Spring Training as he tries to make the roster.  In 2010 he got injured and ended up missing the entire 2011 season.  Everyone thought it might have been the end of his playing days, but that’s not the case.  Moyer is one of those likable guys in baseball.  I hope he makes the roster.

This pin was made in honor of the Seattle Mariners 25th Anniversary back in 2002.  At the time Moyer was pitching for them.  When one finds it’s way up for sale, they aren’t that expensive.

I was lucky to meet Jamie Moyer during the March, 2011 Philly Show.  Moyer made his MLB debut the exact day I was born – 6/16/86.

The Philly Show – March 5, 2011

Its been almost a year since I’ve been to The Philadelphia Sportscard & Memorabilia Show, which is held at the Valley Forge Convention Center.  I noticed a few less dealers, but I had fun.  I got some autographs, busted a few boxes, and did what your suppose to do at The Philly Show.  Let me tell you something.  There are two dealers at this show that do extremely well.  One is Marty’s Sportscard Exchange and the other is ESE Supplies.  Marty Davis of Marty’s Sportscard Exchange always has the best deals on wax, and Eddie of ESE Supplies has any type of holder you’d need.  I even stopped by the Louisville Slugger booth.

FYI – a few vintage sets were stolen at the show.  The announcer said the sets came from 1961 and 1971.  They did not state which sport.

Art Mahaffey was the 1st Philly to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.  You can see Lenny Dykstra (my personal accountant) in the background wearing the hat.

Hunt Auctions had an impressive display of memorabilia.  This old “Casey at the Bat” book really caught my eye.

In the top right corner, you’ll see an issue of Beckett Baseball with Ryan Howard on the cover.  I’m actually in that issue for when I wrote a little piece on Victor Martinez’s first card.

One of my first stops of the day was at the Louisville Slugger booth.  I purchased a new bat with the Phillies logo and “SPORTS CARD INFO” engraved on it.  Then I got Moyer and Mahaffey to sign it.
