Great run of bats ....any jerseys of that era included as part of the collection? If so, please post 'em...pre-1980 Astros gamers are always a great view.

Can we see your Astros/Colt .45's jersey collection

[BoneRubbedBat]

I didn't realize there were so many Astros collectors on the forum. Thanks for all the replies and e-mails. I will get some photos of my jerseys and post them in the next week or two. I also want to get some shots of my Houston Buffs bats, Zinn Beck bats, and my Kren bats.

Hi. I saw that you have a Craig Cacek bat. Do you have any other Cacek items? I have a few bats and a first basemans glove that was given to him in spring training by Bob Watson to use. He used it that season and maybe longer. It has Watsons name written on it although it is very faded. Great collection. Thanks, David
