Any Royals collectors?

[TomTimmerman]

Yesterday I purchased the collection of a former Royals scout (Balos Davis). I believe he worked with them from 1986-1998. Mainly baseball cards, but a few uniform items. Here's what I have:

Power Blue Jersey #10 Nameplate has been removed. Manager Dick Howser wore number 10. It was retired in 1987. Size 42

White home jersey with Davis NOB. Size 46 Set 1 1990

White home jersey with no name on back. Size 44 Set 1 1990

Continued...

Blue Mesh BP or Spring Training #33 1994 and Haney on the tag. Size 44. Apparently worn by Chris Haney

Three pairs of pants:
Gray Size 40
White Size 38
Blue Size 38

One pair of stirrups
One windbreaker I just removed from original packaging

Would like to sell it all as one lot for $400 ppd.

Thanks,
Tom

Balos was my boss when I worked for the Royals. Great Guy.

Cool. I wish I had met him. He died a few months ago and my wife is a friend of his widow.

Regarding the possible Howser jersey, weren't the 1980's road powder blue tops tagged by Wilson (with a year swatch)?

That may be a minor league issue #10 top and not Howser.

That may very well be. I should have clarified that I don't have any evidence linking it to Howser other than the number. I also think that the "Kansas City" block letters were used by the major league team until 82. Then they used the script Royals until 91. Not sure which of their affiliates may have used the KC block letters in that time period.

Re: Any Royals collectors?

Still have this collection and would like to move it together in one lot. How about $300 ppd? That's 4 jerseys, 3 pants, windbreaker, and stirrups.

Thanks!
