From what I can see, both have possibilities. The caps are 1998-2000 range. B&E is an honest seller, although they are not experts. Maybe some of our Astros-focused collectors (Chris, Mike, Leslie) can chime in, also.

Biggio characteristics look good on the black hat.

Can you give me some characteristics? I am lost on hats. After doing research I feel better with bats. A few years ago I bought a bat (promo gsmer with no number) from a GUU member. As for othet equipment I have no clue.

Both are the correct size. The top one seems very similar to a Biggio I own, so I would say that one's good. The bottom one looks fine also.

Both of those caps look great from what I can tell. Keep in mind that size 7 wasn't his only size during his career. He also wore a size 7 1/8, but nothing any larger than that. Also his #7 can sometimes be found under the bill, but most commonly is found inside the front panel. :)

Dave,

Both styles of the two caps shown in the eBay listings first appeared in 2000.

They both look good to me when the Astros changes styles in 2000 they also changes were they put the numbers on the hats for the most part prior to 2000 the numbers were on the bill once they went to the new style the started appearing inside the caps B&E bought large lots of caps and other items from the team before they started selling them at the park and as stated in an earlier post they are the right size i have only seen Biggio wearing a size 7

If you go to AmericanMemorabilia.com and search for Craig Biggio game used, you will see a 7 1/8. I have seen around 4 of them out there. It is very rare that a player wears only one size throughout his career. You got to remember that hair length and thickness changes as well as cap manufacturers and how they change their manufacturing process.......New Era is certainly a great example of this.:)
