Game used or not, it's still a great item. Pro contracts from his career are probably rarer than his game worn jerseys are.

By the late 70's early 80's, the top Padres affiliates had their own uniforms. Possibility of Amarillo, Reno or Walla Walla though.
Neat photos! Thanks for sharing. If you have anymore old photos of Padres minor league teams please email them to me. I'm especially interested teams from 1984 and before.

Here is a rookie Luis Salazar road jersey. I think he is still working with the Padres even after he had one of his eyes taken out by a flying bat.
