    Sand-Knit Tagging Question

    I have a question on mid-80s Sand-Knit tagging. I have an Astros 1984 jersey with an interesting strip tag in the tail. This is my first ever 1984 tagged jersey, so I would like to see if anyone else has Sand Knit tagging. I have heard the Brewers used identical tagging. I will post a photo this evening, but if anyone has a Sand Knit guide, please send it my way!

    Thanks,

    The Astros used Sand-Knits from 1975-til 1983. The used both goodman and sons and Sand-knits in 1984. In either 1980 or 1981 they started putting strip tags in the tails of both the rainbow jerseys and the white with rainbow sleves alternative. in 1981,82,83 the tags were located on the front of the jersey either next to Sand-Knit tag or in the middle. For 1984 it was located on the back of the tail i believe.

    Chris,

    I have a photo of a 1983 Astros sand knit jersey with that type tagging posted here in another thread. You might want to check it out and compare. It's a very interesting looking strip tag to say the least. The photo can be found in the attached thread:

    I got your email yesterday and will search my archive for the original mail that you didn't receive and then send it your way.

    Regards
    Nick
