Re: Current Value For Turn Ahead The Clock Jersey's

Hey Guys,

I'm dying to track down an Orioles TATC. I was working at the shop that did their on field jerseys at that time. The initial set was already lettered, but we did have to do a few for new call-ups...and even a few for the Angels (who they played that game).

Please keep me in mind if you ever see one...I prefer it to be blank so I can just customize it myself.

Thanks, Nick. I can recall my disappointment 15 years ago when I saw the Cubs were not wearing these. At the rime, though, the Cubs were often party poopers on uniform styles and additions, so I wasn't totally surpriseed.

Dave,

I was particularly surprised that the Astros didn't participate... for a team that donned "futuristic" styles throughout the years, it didn't make sense (even traditionalist teams like the Red Sox and Cardinals participated!).

On a humorous note, one might note that the Yankees in fact DID participate. As the promotion was supposed to hint to what the teams will wear in 2021, it is likely (given the team's track record of not changing a thing) that they accomplished that goal!

Nick (TNT):

Given your knowledge of this uniform genre, could you be so kind as to list the TATC teams that issued these uniforms in 1998-99. If I recall correctly, only 21 or so of the teams issued them, and there were some (such as the Cubs) who never wore the style. I would find a listing like this helpful, and I'm sure others would as well. Thanks.

Dave,

Here you go...

1998: 2 jerseys from the original TATC game. Both jerseys were done by Majestic and included:
1. Seattle Mariners (black)
2. Kansas City Royals (gold)

1999: 25 jerseys from the "Century 21" sponsored promotions based on the success of the original TATC game. All made by Russell. They include:

AL East:
3. Red Sox (issued, as the game never took place -- vs Detroit),
4. Orioles,
5. Rays

AL Central:
6. Tigers A (solid white, game used),
7. Tigers B (blue with tail wrapping around the back...issued, as the game never took place -- vs the Red Sox)
8. Twins
9. Royals (royal blue)
10. Indians
11. White Sox

AL West:
12. Angels A (red version)
13. Angels B (blue version)
14. A's
15. Mariners (red)

NL East:
16. (Mercury) Mets
17. Braves
18. Phillies
19. Marlins

NL Central:
20. Brewers
21. Cardinals
22. Pirates

NL West:
23. Giants
24. Padres
25. Diamondbacks
26. Rockies A (purple and white)
27. Rockies B (black and purple)

Note that in 1999, the Rockies and Angels played in both style jerseys.

Altogether, 21 different teams wore these jerseys across both years. Jerseys were made for 22 teams (but the Boston Red Sox never got to wear theirs). The 8 teams that did not participate:

Yankees
Blue Jays
Astros
Rangers
Expos
Reds
Cubs
Dodgers

Phillies Curt Schilling TAC jersey with matching flagged sleeve undershirt sold for $900 and change including fees in Hunt's auction last year.

That would be expected, as Schilling was a decorated superstar, All-Star player, multiple time World Series hero, one of the better pitchers of a generation.

At the same time, Hunt sold a lot of 4 more common Phillies TATC jerseys for approx $900 for the entire lot.

Nick thanks for the reply.

Re: Current Value For Turn Ahead The Clock Jersey's

Somehow I missed this one.

Yes, depends upon the team for the most part, and the driving factor is usually supply & demand... Some of them put all of theirs on the auction block (there are many out there and several surface regularly) whereas other teams gave them to the players (where you will probably never find one, no matter how hard you look).

I have seen some commons sell for ridiculous numbers (i.e. Twins and Brewers) and others sell for the $200-300 range (i.e. Tigers, White Sox, Phillies).

Hope that's helpful.

I think TNTtoys is the resident turn ahead the clock collector. Hopefully he can chime in.

I agree Nick is the resident expert. I spoke with him at the beginning of the year about the Detroit Tigers TATC jerseys. He said the lesser players should go for between $200 - $300. Not sure if other teams' price points are different.

Peace!

Re: Current Value For Turn Ahead The Clock Jersey's

I'd be interested in one, even a no-name, if you buy them and want to part some out. Please keep me in mind if so!

Does he have any of the hats? I been looking for them for awhile now.

Re: Current Value For Turn Ahead The Clock Jersey's

He is selling everything, his whole collection. Working on a deal to buy it all.

They where mostly no names except for Ibanez and Fassero.
