When You Go Too Far With Parallels

In 2018 I posted about this 1997 Astros Game Used Home Jersey that I picked up.  


That is the exact same jersey from the above 8x10.  I never followed it up with me picking up Virdon's 1997 Astros Game Used Away Jersey.


To me Home and Away Game Used Jerseys from the same year is like the ultimate parallel.


I just recently did it again.  I got the Virdon below 1984 Game Used Jersey back in 2020.  



It was one lot at an auction site (not eBay) for the full uniform; jersey, hat, warm up jacket, pants, and belt.  If you google Virdon Astros Game Used the first item that shows up is the lot I bought, however the price is shows is inflated.  



This week I completed the 1984 jersey parallel with this Game Used Home Jersey.  


I haven't exactly decided how to display them yet.  Right now I am at 13 game used jerseys and 4 hats so I can't exactly frame them because I don't have enough wall.  Right now they are all folded in a drawer in my office.  I am thinking about putting up a shelf to display the  hats then putting a rod under that shelf where I could hang the jerseys.

Those Expos jerseys are awesome!

Is there a way to get a mannequin to display the full uniform on?

Dang. You can build a Virdon museum with your collection. Those jerseys are super cool.
