Thanks Ben. Yeah Palmer jerseys show up fairly often too. The two I see a bunch of are Lee May and Singleton jerseys. Not sure why though.

Been Working on stars from the mid 80s. Fair amount of overlap between the 85 and 87 WS teams and a little from 82'

These are the only items in my collection that I consider even close to a team set. In 2015 the Royals set a team record for players voted as starters in the All-Star game. At the end of the voting four Royals were voted in as starters, including Alex Gordon who would be on the DL and was replaced as a started in the AS game. The others were Lorenzo Cain, Salvador Perez and Alcides Escobar. Two pitchers also joined the remaining starters. As a bonus Mike Moustakas won the overall final player vote.

In the end there were four Royals position players that got at bats in the 2015 AS game. I have two of the batting helmets that were worn in those at bats. Alcides Escobar went 1-3 with a run scored wearing one of the helmets I have. The other was worn by Mike Moustakas who struck out facing 100 mph fastballs from Aroldis Chapman. For both of these players it was their first AS game appearance. As a bonus these have been signed by the player and are double authenticated, once for game use and once for the autograph.

I have seen Lorenzo Cain's 2015 AS game helmet in the Royals Hall of Fame so I know that helmet is not available to the open market. As for Salvador Perez I have not been able to locate his 2015 AS game helmet. So at this time I am 90% sure I have every 2015 Royals AS game batting helmet that has been on the open market, thus making this as close as possible 2015 Royals ASG batting helmets team set.

The closest thing I have to what I'd call a team set.

Geovany Soto's game used Alternate jersey from Carlos Zambrano's No Hitter versus the Houston Astros on September 14th, 2008. Acquired directly from PCM Sports (Soto's exclusive game used dealer at the time) and MLB Authenticated as Team Issued - Player Collected on September 15th, 2008. Only Zambrano's jersey was authenticated as game used the night of the game.

Miguel Montero's game used Alternate jersey from Jake Arrieta's No-Hitter versus the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 30th, 2015 (MLB Authenticated).
