Re: Pete Rose GU Reds Cap in Collect.com
This is the info I was able to find on Roman Pro Cap Co..."In the late 1970s the KM Pro Company closed its doors. Due to the major loss of business, it was decided that Roman should start manufacturing baseball caps. Roman Pro Cap Company was created. Several teams used Roman-made caps in the early 1980s. Soon after, Roman began remaking old style caps, commonly known as "throwbacks." They were advertised in sports magazines and were available via mail order. Roman became the first licensed cap company to make the old style caps, and were the first company to carry the "Cooperstown Collection" label. Roman's caps, embroidery-wise, were 100% accurate as they (and McAullife/KM) archived all of their embroidery (New Era did NOT archive their embroidery)." Based on this I would see it is a "throwback". Additionally, I've never seen any Reds article from the 1960s with the Cincinnati Reds stamp.Leave a comment:

The Reds used Wilson, not Pro Roman, caps in the 1960's.Leave a comment:

Re: Pete Rose GU Reds Cap in Collect.com
All the game used caps of Rose that I have had (three) have all been size 7 1/4. This one is much bigger than that. This cap is a 60s cap too, back when he had a crew cut, so I don't know....Just my 2 cents.Leave a comment:

Any opinion on the Rose gamer in their auction? I don't know much about DIck Dobbins, but it has the Reds stamp under the bill which is typical of gift shop items. Anything wrong with this item?
