kylehess10 what is the focus of your collection? you seem to buy the most random things

EXACTLY. I just like buying random things. Doesn't matter what it is, but atleast it's a decent player, a decent item, and a decent price, then it's all mine

Kyle,
I use to be a ramdom buyer like you but over the years I have focused on players from my home town (Louisville KY) and the Atlanta Braves, Cinncy Reds and St. Louis Cardinals. I do have a few other team jerseys but I use those as trade bait.
Just a thought, by the way why is a high school boy on this forum on a Friday night is the night life in Atlanta that bad

Just joking about the last part good luck in your hunt
John

No photos yet, as it just arrived today, but I recently picked up the 1986 style TBTC pants that Chris Woodward wore in the 8/19/2006 and 8/20/2006 20th Anniversary games. I purposely went after these because I already have his jersey from those 2 games and the nameplate that hung over his locker.
All I need now is the cap & I'm ready to do a nice display...

Hello! Finally got my recent pick-up from eBay. It was one of the few Astros style jerseys I needed for my collection. It was a 2004 TBTC July 4th Rainbow Jersey. A seller had one on eBay a couple of weeks ago. Here is how the Astros handled these in 2004 - Astros team representatives went around the stadium and randomly picked out 32 individuals. After the game, those 32 people went on the field. By this time, every player and coach has gone into the clubhouse, taken off their jersey, signed it, and then placed it in a brown paper bag. The Astros reps collect the jerseys and place each bag randomly along the 1st or 3rd Base line. The fans then one-by-one get to pick a bag. Isn't that cool - a game worn and signed jersey for FREE! The person I bought this from was the lucky winner of future HOFer and All-Star, Jeff Kent. Unfortunately, Jeff didn't play in the game, but was wearing the jersey in the dugout. I was more interested in the style as the Rainbow was my favorite growing up while watching the 'Stros in the 80s. Anyway, here are a few pics of the jersey and a photo from the game showing the front and back of this style. I am happy!

Tony Eusebio 2000-01 Astros hat. Heavy sweat stains, which the picture minimizes due to the flash. It's actually kind of gross.
