Dan,

I have looked at many of these same issues and will plan to contact you directly via e-mail as that response will be rather lengthy.. As far as the Hall of Fame, I was asked by them to come up and help out one of their graduate research assistants about three years ago on this same issue. The Hall of Fame only has about 600+ uniforms. This is sort of a small sample and does not lend itself to doing much trend analysis. The other problem is the majority of these are star players. I have found it more productive to work with commons as the likelyhood that they have been faked is much lower. I have a data base of some 3000 uniforms (1200+ flannels) that fleshes this out.

Thanks for the note and great issues..
Dave
