The only one that I am missing is the Houston cap patch. Could it be that, given the controversy, the cap patch was not made until 1970? You show three sleeve patch variations and two cap patch variations. The sleeve patch on the left is the one that I have from 1969. I have two of these and, at least two (in most cases, at least three) of all of the other patches. It's not likely that I missed the Houston cap patch in all those packs I bought in 1969.<br /><br />Thanks for all your work on this blog! You may have solved the Houston cap patch mystery for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455498748416586967.post-70869842529698753162009-10-29T18:59:49.847-07:002009-10-29T18:59:49.847-07:00Heh heh - On the Torres card, even though they may...Heh heh - On the Torres card, even though they may have resolved the logo issue, Topps still managed to show Torres in his road "HOUSTON" uniform, rather than the home "ASTROS" uniform!Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455498748416586967.post-41465869298848886582008-08-14T18:36:00.000-07:002008-08-14T18:36:00.000-07:00Wow, Great work.

If today's sports writers were not such "the past is dead" idiots, someone would have investigated this mystery through retired Topps, Fleer and Astros people. I want to make 2 comments about the 1965 rookie card. Notice that one rookie has only a star with no H. He is the only rookie who didnt play during the rgular season of the three. Does this mean that the Astros spring training cap was just a star? If so, imagine how valuable those caps would be today. Or was it an airbrush job on some minor-league cap (did they even take pics with minor-league caps)? But if you are going to airbrush, why airbrush an incomplete (i.e. wrong logo.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455498748416586967.post-67344073838524014682008-06-03T12:55:00.000-07:002008-06-03T12:55:00.000-07:00Wow, just today someone asked about this Houston o...Wow, just today someone asked about this Houston oddness...and you'd answered it several months in advance.
