ChiefsPlanet George Brett memorbilia for sale. - Page 2

**BigRedChief** · 01-30-2011, 04:20 PM

Can't move everything. The Brett memorbilia hits the chopping block. Like to sell it all as one package and to someone local so I don't have to screw around with shipping. For posting it on here instead of craigslist or Ebay, I'll give 10% of the total purchase price to Chiefs Planet.

In the frame, on the left is a game ticket from George Brett's last game at Kauffman stadium, The middle is a signed menu from George Brett's resteraunt on the Plaza, the game ticket on the right is from the the game when the Royals retired Brett's number. The signature is made out to me, but I also have another signed menu that you can put in place of the personalized one.

This is a game from when George Brett was at the height of his popularity. All the game pieces are inside but I decided to mount it inside a glass frame because I thought it was a really cool piece.

A piece of the turf from the old Royals outfield turf.

Also got some limited memorblia like this I'll throw in...'

Actually, I got to know the person who was Ewing Kauffman's bodyguard and driver for over 20 years. He became very tight with everyone in the Royals organization and spent a ton of time in their locker room. He had a lot of cool things, and wanted to pass it along to someone.

I actually have the bat that George Brett broke on the pitch prior to hitting the "pine tar homerun." Yeah, it's not as cool as having the actual pine tar homerun bat, but it is as close to it as you can get. Has all the tine tar and everything.

The pitch before Brett hit the homer, he hit a foul ball, broke his bat, and I have that bat.

How'd you get that?

Ewing Kauffman's bodyguard grabbed it and sold it to me last year. They've obviously changed how they do things now, but they used to just throw all of that stuff away. Now the team sells broken bats at different events.

I just didn't believe it. The full story makes it an awesome.

I used to be quite the connoisseur of table-top baseball games, having played several from about 1979-92 (Statis-Pro, Baseball Strategy, APBA, Strat-o-matic, Pursue the Pennant, Sherco Baseball Simulation, etc.). But I never heard of the Brett Ball game. Had to google it.

I am but I got most of that stuff already. The ticket thing is pretty cool but I got ton of George Brett autograph stuff so the value for me really isn't there. Cool stuff though.

We used to know the Equipment Manager for the Royals in the 80's. Got a ton of Royals autograph stuff.

**gblowfish** · 01-31-2011, 11:50 AM

I've got that turf thing in my office. They sold a lot of those, not really that rare. I have a ball autographed by George and Buck O'Neil. I have ticket stub from game 7 of 85 world series, and KC Star from the day they made the series and the day they won the series. I have a couple of limited prints of George with his 3 silver bats for batting champion in 3 different decades.

Not related to George, but I have two other cool baseballs too. One is autographed by Dan Quizenberry and Rich Gossage. Got it after catching a home run by Steve Balboni.
And I have a ball from the 25 year opening day at Kauffman Stadium signed by Charlie Plumb. Who was Charlie Plumb? Charlie was a Navy Pilot from KC who got shot down over Vietnam and was a POW for seven years. He threw out the first pitch when Royals stadium opened in 1973, having just been released by the North Vietnamese.

Used to love baseball, especially the Royals, but pretty much dead to me now. Thanks, Dave Glass. For nothin'.

Keep the memorabilia, it is worth more than the team now.
