I follow GU flannels and it's a hard market to figure. Grey Flannel's auction last night for instance:
Lot #299 1968 Dodgers road Claude Osteen (1969 patch removed) $3355
Lot #302 1946 Cardinals road Bill Endicott near perfect condition $2082
Lot #366 1963 Dodgers home Pete Reiser (coach) $4003
Lot #420 1965 (Fox) and 1970 (Westrum) Giants home (both coaches) $763
I landed the Endicott and Giants coaches. Hard to believe a 1946 Cardinals GU shirt only brings a couple thousand. Endicott didn't play in that World Series, but he and this jersey were there, in the dugout. At some point, some day, the collective collectors market will reflect the relative scarcity and coolness of GU flannels.
