September Pick Up Thread

[71buc]

I recently picked up this 1971 Giants vs Pirates NLCS program. It is considered to be the rarest Championship Series program. I have no idea how that was determined. Prices on these range from $400 to $750 which essentially excluded it form my want list. I was lucky enough to land this one at a fraction of the cost from an eBay seller who had no idea of its rarity. I also added four Malcolm Emmons 8X10s of Manny Sanguillen, Dock Ellis, and Bob Robertson.

Great stuff!

I could tell those were Emmons' images before I even read your text. Classic style! He is the greatest of all the post-war photographers, IMHO.

Nice pickups!

Recent pickup 1971 Mets game used flannel jersey, worn by Frank Estrada who played one game and was traded to the Angels as part of the Nolan Ryan trade. 1971 was the last year the Mets wore flannels. The New York was stripped off when it was sent to the minors.

At least you got the one game the Giants won.

Fun pickup - I love that he's in uniform in the art.

Original SF Giant, if you didn't know. Also the only team he played for (1958-70).

Kidding of course... What a beautiful, important and classy looking piece.

Many congrats on that one!

I had a bat of some Giant I wanted autographed when the guy was on a rehab assignment at AAA. Davy invited me into the clubhouse. My buddy says that’s why he didn’t make a good manager....too nice!
