Introducing Myself
 

Hello forum,

I recently discovered this extraordinary forum and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Chris, and I have been collecting game worn flannels for roughly 2 years now. I am a style collector who enjoys collecting my favorite styles (and patches) of the flannel era. Given the prices, my pickiness, and the scarcity of these pieces, I only have 2 to this point. I am currently looking for a World War II era flannel, preferably of the Cardinals or Browns, as well as a 1969 inaugural season Expos blue road flannel. Below are the 2 flannels I own:

1953 Del Crandall Road Milwaukee Braves - As many of you baseball historians probably know, 1953 was the Braves' first season in Milwaukee.

1970 Doug Rader Home Houston Astros - An interesting note about this jersey is that Rader's Gold Glove in 1970 was the first Gold Glove won by a Houston player in the franchise's history (either Colt .45's or the Astros)

Hi Chris! Welcome aboard. Nice Jerseys:D

Welcome! Very nice looking items.

Hi Chris
Welcome to the forum. I have some very fond memories of the 1970 Astros. I couldn't tell you all of the players anymore but I could recite quite a few. I grew up in Houston, as a young kid, and was collecting cards in the late 1960's to early 1970's in the SW Houston area; in the not so nice part of town nowadays :) and when Rader was on the team. Neat jerseys and don't forget to check out the memorabilia side of the forum too. Happy collecting...
