Those Mariners vest jerseys weren’t originally made as vests. Scott Mahlum remembers the team cutting the sleeves off regular jerseys and hemming them by hand. You can still see the jagged cuts inside the jerseys. #Mariners #GameWorn #BaseballHistory

Sometimes a collection starts with something as simple as a number. Bill Gabor wore No. 42 in every sport, which led him to follow Daniil Miromanov in Vegas. Eventually, that collecting connection became a friendship. #DaniilMiromanov #VegasGoldenKnights #GameWorn

Ichiro’s house flooded while he was away. Scott Mahlum says he loaded an Escalade with an estimated $5–7 million in Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers, game used bats and other memorabilia to keep it safe. That made for one careful drive home. #Ichiro #Mariners #GameWorn

Ken Griffey Jr. would play poker until 8:00 or 8:30 Sunday morning, then head straight to the Kingdome. One Sunday? Two-for-three with a home run. More from Scott Mahlum on The Game Used Podcast. #KenGriffeyJr #Mariners #GameWorn

Vegas has built a serious game worn collecting culture. Bill Gabor talks about the Golden Knights’ Authentics kiosk, relationships with team staff and collectors, and the expos that bring the community together. #VegasGoldenKnights #GameWorn

A game used uniform Paul Martin bought for around $300 eventually helped preserve 49ers history. When John Taylor entered the 49ers Hall of Fame, Paul supplied an authentic Taylor uniform for the creation of his museum statue. From collection piece to museum history. #GameUsed #49ers

Imagine telling Steve Young you own eight of his jerseys. Paul Martin did. Years after their first meeting, the two crossed paths again. Young remembered him as: “The jersey collector.” #SteveYoung #49ers

It started with two Joe Montana jerseys hanging on the wall of a sports card shop. Paul Martin couldn’t afford them at the time. But seeing those game used jerseys in the early ’90s helped spark what would become a decades-long 49ers collection. #JoeMontana #GameUsed

Christian McCaffrey recognized the jersey immediately. Paul Martin acquired the jersey from McCaffrey’s final game with Carolina before his trade to the 49ers. Later, Paul brought it to meet CMC in person. McCaffrey knew exactly what it was. #GameUsed #49ers
