Help Needed On 1979 White Sox Home, 1984 Astros Rainbow
Hi -
I went to a long time collector's house and went thru his collection. I was interested in a couple of his jerseys, the first one a 1979 White Sox white softball style jersey Bill Nahorodny, the second one a 1984 Astros rainbow style of Vern Ruhle.
Can other collectors provide an estimate of the values? The White Sox jersey was offered for $500, and the Astros for $350. The jerseys are in excellent condition, tagging is correct per the GUU articles I have seen.
Any help is appreciated.
Marlon.

I think $500 might be a little steep for the Sox jersey. I think it's more in the $300 range. The one think you have going for you is it's a home jersey which is harder to find than the road.
Is the flag tag next to the Capital Ace tag washed out?
I'm guessing this is the jersey?Mike

Yes, the year tag is pretty washed out, and the name on back has an outline of a nameplate that was over the name.
Was this jersey once in your collection?

Which style of Rainbow was the Verne Rhule? if it was the rainbow shoulders and it is all original you are in the right ballpark if its a rainbow body and all original its low almost all of the rainbow Astros from that era were stripped and sent to the minors be very careful to make sure that the nameplate is original

The Ruhle is a rainbow body, not on the sleeves. The wear on the name on the nameplate looked similar to the number on back.
