Why do you think they call them a "set"?

this used to confuse me too.
i guess he is asking if the sets are renumbered for each order.

for example its

April Order Set 1 Set 2 Set 3
June Order Set 1 Set 2 Set 3

not

April Order Set 1 Set 2 Set 3
June Order Set 4 Set 5 Set 6

If the jersey is a 1972 Expos home, it should be a Rawlings jersey. Rawlings flag tags use the set number as an indicator of when they're ordered, not actual sets (actual sets, if tagged, are done only on strip tagging with Rawlings). If you view dozens of Rawlings jerseys from all teams who have used them, you will likely find the the flag tags on the vast majority will be ID'd as SET 1. In thre case of Rawlings flag tags, set 1 indicates original order, while set 2 would be midseason or other orders after the original one. The ony set 3 flag tags I have seen on Rawlings jerseys were on the ones that Rangers players such as A-Rod and Raffy Roids used to order and then wear...a belief that has gone under considerable debate on GUF, as MeiGray had the Rangers uniform resale contract in the affected years (2000-2002).

Back to the Expos flannel...if the player in question received all his jerseys from the original order (as was the norm back then), then, yes, more than one SET 1 flag tagged jersey can exist.

always confused me also... back in the 70's and 80's i think a set 1 was always 2 homes and 2 roads.... ya needed 2 shirts for double headers...

In the case of most companies who supplied MLB gamers (Wilson, Russell, Majestic, Goodman, Sand-Knit) set numbers reflect how many jerseys were made. The flag tag determinations of Rawlings that are based on time of order rather than quantity of jerseys is unique to Rawlings. If the Expos jersey was a Wilson-made road, then there would be set 1, set 2, and, if made, set 3. With Rawlings, any set 2 flag tag is an in-season order (either for a new player or as a replacement for a damaged/stolen jersey).

I recall visiting the White Sox clubhouse after 1977 to buy a jersey from the equipment guy. The 1977 jerseys (by Rawlings, with collar flag tags) were still hanging up, and I couldn't find a set 2 flag tag to save my life.
