I thought I was very fortunate to get the 1948 Washington shirt & pants for my $1400 bid. It had a team number change, so not 100% original as issued, but sill way more authentic than a plastic zipper on a 1955 jersey. It amazes me that a 74 year old uniform, a one-year style, sells for so little relative to cards.
My other key win was the 1953 Philadelphia A's shirt, pants, and hat ensemble, all original, for a bid of $2750. I also landed a few others, but missed out on some that went over my target (1951 Reds, 1956 Brooklyn, Sam McDowell.)
Eventually, hobbyists will collectively (pun) "get it" and vintage shirt values will get to the point they should be. Until then it's a blast collecting them.
