The October MEARS Auction by Dave Grob

Once again I will spend some time talking about the recent auction. Folks remain curious as to my reasons and approach for covering the things I do. Both are very simple. I only want to be associated and involved in an organization that I have trust and confidence in....

The Fabric of Evaluations by Dave Grob

In the weeks to come you will read a couple of articles/opinions I wrote on flannel jerseys, that among other things, had problematic issues associated with the fabric. As a prelude to those articles, I thought it would be worthwhile to spend some time talking about...

A 1955 Mickey Mantle Road Jersey by Dave Grob

I suspect it won’t take you long to surmise that jersey probably came from the same source as the 1959 Don Drysdale Road Jersey. We’ll get that out of the way up front, it did. As such, this could have been largely a cut and paste rejection letter. I did not want it...

A 1954 Warren Spahn Braves Road Jersey by Dave Grob

Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite styles of flannel jerseys. Something about the gray body, the ornate felt Tomahawk logo, numbers on the front and the old “war bonnet” patch. All of these only existed from 1953-1956 since before 1953 there were no numbers...
