Guys....what's your thoughts? I'd like to make a run at this jersey if its iron clad solid.

Re: Nolan Ryan Game Used Jersey MEARS Auction
I have yet to find a picture from that year of any Astros where the star is outlined in white...all the ones, including the pictures they are using have no white around the star

Re: Nolan Ryan Game Used Jersey MEARS Auction
To your point though, it appears to be dated 1980. Read through thread too quickly.

Another thing that has me worried is the tagging. Maybe I'm wrong, but the tagging appears to be minty fresh for a gamer that's 30 years old.

Does everything MEARS sells on their auction always score an A10?

Re: Nolan Ryan Game Used Jersey MEARS Auction
Up on eBay right now is a Baltimore Sun photo of Ryan in game action which is initially dated 7/5/82. You can see the star....no white outline. Maybe Mike Sharon or another Astros specialist can chime in, but I believe the white outline didn't appear on this style until the Astros began ordering from Goodman & Sons a couple of years later.

Re: Nolan Ryan Game Used Jersey MEARS Auction
I remember hearing that Ryan always used Goodman & Sons uniforms despite what the team ordered and typically brought his own Astro uniforms. This could explain the jersey and the different outline on the star.
