Jose Altuve 2012 Game Used TBTC "Smoking Pistol" Colt 45s Jersey

The jersey was worn and authenticated to 4/10/2012 (50th Anniversary of 1st Game in Houston History) and 4/20/2012 (Flashback Fridays). The jersey remains unwashed after the 4/20/2012 game. Also included are:

1. Colt 45s TBTC Hat (MLB Authenticated)
2. Colt 45s TBTC Helmet (MLB Authenticated)
3. Colt 45s TBTC Stirrups (Washed, unknown player, one of only a few pairs worn by players)
4. MLB Authenticated Single from Bottom of 3rd Inning (Jose tried to strecth the single into a double and was thrown out on a head first slide . . . hence the dirty jersey)
5. MLB Authenticated Bat from the 4/20/2012 game (cracked the next day 4/21).

As many know, these TBTC jerseys became very controversial. After the team designed the jerseys, MLB told the Astros they could not include the Pistol. After some discussion, it was decidee the Astros were allowed to make the decision. Fan feedback was unanimous and the Astros decided (correctly by the way) to preserve history and keep the jerseys original to 1962-1964. Hats off to the Astros and Mike Acosta for working so hard on this design and making the tribute possible!





















Thanks,

That Altuve (and, presumably, the others the Astros will and have used in this style) have something very unusual for Majestic Houston jerseys from any year...a strip tag.

Dave,

It is a first I believe! The Astros have also added "2012" flag tags to the inside seam tagging on all 2012 jerseys.

Thanks,

Anyone have any idea what the '"LDM" engraving under the length and weight is on the nob of the bat?

Re: April 2012 Pick-Ups!!

I found out today from the Blueclaws Assistant GM that the jersey was worn by Trevor May. I started to question whether Biddle wore the jersey because I couldn't find pictures of him wearing a short sleeved jersey. I also noticed that May wore the same number.

Yesterday I received my Gaby Sanchez game-used bat in the mail and then went to a Lakewood Blueclaws game that night and found a rack of game-used jerseys in their store. I ended up purchasing a Jesse Biddle jersey.

Very excited about this one...


Eddie George Titans game worn jersey photomatched to the 1/3/2004 Titans/Ravens playoff game where Eddie ran the ball for nearly 100 yards with a separated shoulder.

Would LOVE to find this pic w/o the Sports Illustrated logo over his face.

Re: April 2012 Pick-Ups!!

Picked up these 4 All Star game Worn workout/BP jerseys. The Johnson is worn for BP the day of the game. The Chris Young was worn for the Home Run derby where he was a participant. The Gio and Martin were worn for the Derby / Workout days. Love these things.

Glad these went whole to a collector and not the chop shop at Topps like previous AS BP Jerseys have gone!

It would be from 2001....Puma still made the Saints attire in 2000...Reebok took over in '01.
