Michael -
You are correct the 1994 KC Blue Alternative Jerseys did have the player's number on the front. See below - Wally Joyner 1994 Jersey

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

I know that we have several Royals collectors on the board, so I wanted to create a thread for fellow Royals collectors to learn from each other and educate each other. As well as a place for us to share our findings/pickups.

I'll start with my favorite baseball item in my collection. I was able to obtain this from fellow forum member Jerry S. He was kind enough to let me pry this away from his collection. Even though I have had it for a few months, I still have not created a display for it.

George Brett 1992 game used jersey. This road style jersey is my favorite Royals style of jersey ever (Road 1992-94), and it is also of my favorite player ever. My all time grail type baseball jersey would be George Brett's 3,000 hit jersey, but that is in the Royals HOF and I don't think that is going to be in my collection anytime soon. Here is a road jersey worn by Brett in 1992 just prior to his 3,000 hit. George wore this jersey in September of 1992 on road trips to NYY, Bal and Min. George inscribed the hits that he had while wearing this gamer (2,979-2,784, 2,994-2,996). Brett collected hits 2,997-3,000 in one night in a 4 hit game against the Angels. On this jersey there is the Joe Burke "JRB" memorial patch. On Brett's jerseys, he modified the patch to have a "JHB" which I believe was for his father Jack Brett. The jersey is unwashed and has residual pine tar on the left collarbone area and the back right shoulder.

The tagging on the front of the jersey isn't exactly like other 1992 Royals jerseys as they typically show the Year, set #, number, then name. The Intera Tag is on the neck of this Brett jersey. I will post an example of another 1992 gamer next.

Great Brett jersey!

1994 Stan Belinda Game Worn Jersey

Really cool items Nate, do the Belinda and Appier have evidence of number removal on the front? The tagging looks good but in 94 on the blue alternates there were numbers on the fronts of the jerseys. Either way great looking jerseys, loved those blue alternates and the 94 patch on the sleeve too!

Picked up these Danny Duffy throwback pants. I also was given one from the pair of cleats that Duffy gave to my friend SungWoo. I know pants aren't real collectible but they will be used for a greater purpose. SungWoo has the other cleat in Korea. You can see the hashtag that Duffy wrote on the toe. It's kind of like a friendship necklace for guys. Lol.

Love what you did with the shadowbox. I made one with a hanger I would not use again... I'm in the process of building another and need an idea on a different hanger system. Would you send me some pictures to my email and show me what you did on yours? Looks very nice...

Carlos Beltran 2003-04 Game Glove
(previously posted in the Beltran thread )

Rawlings model Pro601KBSO with BEEA (10-03) date code, ID NO 07. 2004 was Beltran's last year with the Royals. Beltran used to wear Rawlings until he switched over to Wilson when he was with the Mets in 2005. Beltran was wearing a Rawlings glove as late as Spring Training of 2005. This glove has some definite wear in the web as well as on the hand/wrist opening as seen in the pictures. The glove has Beltran's Puerto Rico flag on it as well as his name in script. Beltran is a 3 time gold glove winner.

The glove is stylematched to Beltran climbing the wall in KC to steal a HR and Spring Training 2004 with the same model. In 2004 Beltran mainly rotated between this model and a grey version of the same model. In the All Star game he was using the black/brown style.

Johnny Damon 1999-2000 game used glove

After George Brett retired, Johnny Damon was my favorite position player on the Royals until Carlos Beltran came around. Damon was part of the what could have been outfield of Damon, Beltran and Dye (my glove may even be the glove in the picture of the 3 of them below). This is a Rawlings Pro-2HFB model glove with 4 dots (manufactured in 1999). I was able to recently add this to my collection. Damon was traded away after the 2000 season to Oakland. In the 1999-2000 period Damon used a black Rawlings glove with his name embroidered in yellow/gold. In his time in Boston starting in 2002, the embroidery color started to be red. Definite use shown in the pocket.

Here is the jersey James Shield wore in his Royals debut, April 1, 2013, against the White Sox.

I was at this game in Chicago. Very nice piece.

Great to see you getting in on this thread Leigh (owner of the best Royals collection that I've seen). Let's hope Shields gets a W tonight!
