Re: Anyone Here Collect Managers and Coaches ??

what's the difference in price between a jersey from their playing days versus a jersey from their managing days? say for sparky anderson, joe torre, mike scioscia, joe giraldi or tony larussa.

Sparky only played one year in the bigs and LaRussa played only 132 games spread out over several seasons and combined with the fact that they played so long ago it is very unlikely that any jerseys from their playing days still exist. So for those two it would seem all that would be out there would be from their managing days. Torre I would think varies depending on the year because of his great success in both roles. Giradi I would think would have alot of both playing and managing jerseys on the market since his career was so recent and I think the managerial ones would be more valuable because he was an average player but is proving to be a very sucessful manager and he was the first manager to win a championship in the new stadium.

I can't say I am specifically a collector managers and coaches, but being that I have attempted a straight run of every Mets style jersey worn on field during the double-knit era (BPs included), I have accumulated quite a few over time.

As far as specific managers or coaches... I do collect Bill Robinson jerseys. I have 5 Mets game used jerseys of his, representing 1 of every style he wore on field during his coaching tenure (1984-1989). I had dupes but have recently sold all of those. I also have jerseys from his playing days, so I can't completely lump him into the 'managers & coaches' category.
