Re: September 2017 Pickups

My latest pickup, 1976 Mets Wayne Garrett. Thanks to Nick for selling me the jersey and thanks to Lon Lewis for restoring the Casey Stengel/Joan Payson armband and the Centennial patch.

Another Flannel for my MLB Collection:

1968 New York Mets Road - Ed Charles

The jersey had been sent down to the minors and had a number change. I normally don't mind that, but these numbers had shrunk considerably and made the jersey look very odd. I removed the numbers myself, and also washed out the signature since it wasn't signed by Charles (the original player that wore the jersey). I then sent it to Lon Lewis to have period correct numbers sewn on. Just got it back today from Lon and I'm very happy with the final result.

I'll post some pics of the restoration process in my next post.

Nicely approached and done. I don't believe that anyone in the hobby is better at quality restorations than Lon is. He was the choice of the late Dick Dobbins, and should be the choice for just about anyone.

Sweet Rose helmet been. That's a classic piece of Rose hardware.

Here are the photos of the original jersey as I purchased it, photos after I took off the signature and numbers (you can still see some residue and old dirt under the numbers), and then after a spin or two in the washing washing machine.

Re: September 2017 Pickups

Wow beautiful Cards jersey and impressive to have to both home and road versions from the same year! Really cool to see that they're reunited after over 70 years.

Just added a 1946 Del Wilber home Cardinals jersey to the collection. I already owned Wilber's '46 road jersey (what are the odds?), so I now have a matched set.

COA has also been signed by Vidro as well.
