Very cool that you know other jerseys are at least out there. They are going to be worth more and more every year, if you ask me. People like me heading into or into their 40s are gaining purchasing power, and he is the biggest name (in my opinion) from the era.
Would love to get an Astros rainbow jersey one day, but am partial to the Angels jerseys, living in SoCal.

Regarding the Angels 1972 home white jersey that was in Legendary: I have not seen the jersey up close, but I was aware that a 1972 home jersey was out there. A very reliable source has told me that a '72 home white was, ahem, "liberated" from the Angels during this time period. I'm not sure if the one sold in Legendary is this exact one, but it possibly is.
Just a word to the wise, be very careful when considering the purchase of a Ryan Astros era jersey. Lots of fakes out there in the hobby. Many are from the 1986 year, but you really need to do your homework.
