Description
The jersey-collecting hobby has exploded in recent years. Coupling the vast array of jerseys worn by MLB teams, and their availability from so many sources (especially on the Web, where both bargains and frauds abound!), this book provides a complete guide to the fan and collector.
This title is approximately 400 pages. It charts over 100 pages of detail of all jerseys worn by the Houston Astros for every year from 1970 through 2015. Profusely illustrated with photographs, it includes detail on every home, road and alternate jersey, as well as all special events ones (like St. Patrick’s Day, various ethnic heritage, Memorial Day camouflage, Turn Back the Clock, etc.). All Spring Training/Batting Practice jerseys are included as well. Prototypes, on-field mistakes and oddball jerseys are pictured, as are photos and information on every commemorative sleeve patch worn during these years, and the dates they appeared. Provides hours of enjoyable reading, and a permanent reference that the reader will refer to often.
Besides the Astros specific detail. The book includes approximately 300 pages of general collectors’ information applicable to all teams, including tips on detecting and avoiding bogus/counterfeit jerseys; and what to look for in jerseys claimed to be game worn or team-issued. It also includes chapters on the basics of collecting; jersey construction/fabrics and trim, a listing of all league-wide commemorative, All-Star and postseason patches, plus deep detail on manufacturer and team tagging of both team-issued and Authentic Retail merchandise.
