Tom Gordon 1988 game used jersey

1988 was the year the Tom "Flash" Gordon first came up to the show. He debuted in September of that year before making a huge impact as a rookie in 1989.

This 1988 jersey was possibly worn during his ML debut as well. I cannot verify this but his debut was at home and I don't know how many jerseys a September call up gets.

I purchased this jersey with the name on back removed. Lon Lewis did a great job following the original outline of the removed letters and restoring it for me. The lettering is not a vertical arched lettering. Gordon can be seen in photos (not sure if spring training) wearing a home jersey with similar lettering.

Jeff Montgomery 1989 game used jersey (recycled)

The Royals all time saves leader was first issued this jersey in 1989. In 1989 Monty went 7-3 with 19 saves and a 1.37 ERA.

The name was removed and later recycled as remnants of a nameplate can also be seen. To my knowledge the Royals would send jerseys down to the minors to be recycled (if I am incorrect please chime in). I received the jersey with no name or nameplate present but the outline of both were visible. I had Lon Lewis restore Montgomery's name using the original outline and he did a great job again.

and another Royals pitcher....

Mark Gubicza 1990 jersey

The last Royals name restored jersey that I have is a 1990 Gubicza jersey. The jersey is from 1990 and has 2 inches of length added to it. Gubicza got hurt in 1990 after a promising start to his career. When I picked up this jersey the name on back had been removed but the outline was visible. I had Lon restore this jersey as well. Vertical Arch lettering present.

What I actually just noticed about my jersey is the front 3 and the back 3 are different fonts. The front 3 is more of the Wilson (more square) style "3" and the back "3" is more of the Rawlings (more turns/curved) style "3." The two photos of Gordon actually show him in a jersey with the same anomaly, that could actually be my jersey in the picture!

In addition to that, by his 1989 photos the home jerseys that he wears show the Rawlings style "3" present on both front and back photos. On his 1989 UD card he is wearing the same jersey with the front 3.

Very impressive jersey's.

I don't have much and no jersey's but I do have this Salvador Perez gamer photo matched to his first and so far his only game winning HR.

It would help if I included the pic.

Too lazy to take photos but I own Tim Collins rookie jackie robinson day jersey. He came in and faced two batters and ended up walking both before being removed. The next pitcher allowed the runner to score which ended up being the first career run allowed by Tim Collins.

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.
