My Sisk arrived today as well. Also set 1. I was hoping for a size 48, but it appears Doug put on a little more weight than I though, as the jersey is a size 52. Fits, just a little big.

Wow! a far cry from the size 44 he wore in 86!

This post is just to let you guys know how we can use turn our interests into something postive for someone other than ourselves. Please don't respond and just enjoy the story as I'm not looking for any accolades.


Ed Hearn during the 86 Mets
reunion 8/19/2006


As you all know I bid on Ed Hearn's ceremony worn 86 ceremony jersey and won it. Well I decided to win the jersey and offer it back to Ed in exchange for the one that was given to him after the game. After I offered to swap he said he was touched however he really didn't care too much about it but perhaps his wife Tricia may be interested. Now I did meet Ed's wife back in 2004 when he came over the house to do a private signing and she is fully aware of my Ed collection. After I emailed Tricia to see if she was interested in "the jersey" that Ed wore during the ceremony she responded that she would love to have it for their son Cody. You see Cody never got to see his Dad play ball and it never really hit home of what his Dad accomplished with the 86 Mets. Tricia told me that night during the ceremony everything came together for Cody as he watch a sell out crowd cheer for his Dad on the field at Shea. I had a feeling that this jersey belong back with Ed and family where it would have more sentimental value than in my collection or some other person's collection. Hearing what this jersey will mean to Cody Hearn made this THE best purchase I ever made during all these years of collecting!

I received the Franco uniform today, it's outstanding, I'll try to post photos later this weekend. Just for an update, mine is set 1, I know several others had mentioned receiving set 2 jerseys, not that it matters much.

The original list of "non roster players" that was priced at $195 per jersey included the Bannister at first... but the Bannister was promptly removed from this list and privately auctioned. This auction took place at Shea Stadium from what I heard, but I didn't hear anything further about it.

Congrats on the Hearn David

Just couldn't resist. Steiner actually offered it to me close to the final hammer price and I almost pulled the trigger 2 weeks ago.

I plan on offering Ed Hearn to swap jerseys as I know the ceremony worn jersey will mean a heck a lot more to him than it ever will to me !

Thanks Scott!

They just had the 69 tbc on ebay.It went for around $400...Did you ever see the Rawlings tbc game worn????

Sure, Picture your 86 retro used two weekends ago and take away the 25th anniversary patch and the name plate. The NOB on the 2002 retros were not on a nameplate but directly sown on like the regular season jerseys.

Nice pics of the Hernandez jersey. How many Throwback jersey games have Mets been in the last few years. Have any Cubans jersey surfaced or Mercury Mets gamers from the Turn Ahead The Clock promotion from a few years back.....

In 1999 the Mets wore TBTC replicas of the 1969 Road jerseys. I believe they may have wore a TBTC replica of the 69 Home jerseys for a game or two also. Then in 2002, they made a feeble attempt to do a TBTC to 1986 with Rawlings jerseys without the 25th anniversary patch. The 2006 Retros are so much better!

I thought the Bannister was $195 because he wasnt in uniform? There are still a few players siting at Steiner.Will they auction them off??

Re: Mets Game Used Turn Back the Clock jersey arrived today from Steiner

Earlier this week I predicted that the 4 1986 tbtc jerseys would go in the following order from highest to lowest -- Backman, Hearn, Teufel, Sisk. Rationale -- Backman was easily the fan favorite of the bunch. Hearn will be the last of the 4 auctioned, hence, those who may have missed out on any of the others might bid this one higher being that it's the last one... leaving Teufel and Sisk -- which I thought Teufel would go for a bit higher than the Sisk. Well, it was close... The Teufel went for $315, the Sisk for $310.

Does anyone know what the BANNISTER was auctioned for??? This one has been kept pretty hush-hush...

I'm getting jealous! I'm still waiting for my Julio Franco uniform to show up. The UPS truck pulled up today and I got all excited, the driver took a package to my neighbor and drove away .
