Most expensive pads ever?!
« on: April 17, 2011, 04:32:20 AM »
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ADAM-GILCHRIST-SIGNED-MATCH-WORN-ODI-BATTING-PAD-/390097441007?pt=UK_Sports_Memorabilia_ET&hash=item5ad39e90ef#ht_932wt_907

Whats so special about them ?

I paid 90 quids for my Pro Kieswetter pads [No signature[, my friend paid 85 pounds for his Brendon McCullum Pads [with signature] and 92 for his Mal Loye pads [with signature & used by him]

So whats the fuss? Why so expensive?

Signed and match used so has a value as memorabilia.

Gilly is in a slightly different league to Mal Loye.

Price is way to high! Maybe if he wore them in a world cup final, then fair enough, but just a general one day series doesnt really warrant that price IMO

His signature also looks different to the ones I have.

Forget Mal Loye, my friend paid 85 Pounds for match worn Black Brendon McCullum pads, I know McCullum is still in a different league but they pads won't fetch this much...

It is a professional seller so looking for a weeks wages from this sale. I've seen Match shirts going for £500 too, crazy money as you can always get them cheaper if you keep your eyes peeled.
