Thanks Mark and Scott. I didn't consider parking passes. The frustration caused by searching for the NLCS stubs just about did me in. I don't think I could handle such a maddening task for awhile. Those Oriole teams of the mid 60's through 1979 were fun to watch. It would be fun to see yet another Bucs vs. Orioles world series this year. Hopefully if the baseball Gods are smiling the result would be the same as the previous two;)

1971 Orioles
 
I hope both teams make it again. It's been a while since the O's have done much of anything so it's nice to see them compete again after so many years, especially for a die hard O's fan. Yes; Pirates vs. Orioles; maybe we could play "another" seven game series...

If you don't mind me asking.....did you get it for a good price?

Pricewise, pins seem to be all over the place these days.

mjkm90 09-22-2014 06:41 PM
Hi Rob,

I paid $405 with shipping and am pleased with that hammer price. Not a bargain, but fair considering scarcity and the premium that seems to follow Cubs pieces.;)

For you, I wish you could have gotten it cheaper.

For the future of my pin collection, I'm glad you didn't. ;)

Just got nice group of vintage Steelers tickets. One of them is a ticket from the first game where they were known as the Steelers (before that they were the Pirates).

I will have this for sale within the next week or two.

Mike,
Nice addition to the collection! Dates the pin from 1951-1953. Now if you factor in the Kiner "Hearts" pin thats a cost of 200 each:D Now that I would consider a bargain;);) And remember adding a piece to a collection that brings you joy money sometimes isnt the main reason we do it!!;);)

I hope you are taking them seriously about removing the label. I've heard bad stories.

kdixon 09-24-2014 06:22 AM
I like the photos just the way they are with markings and writing on them. Would never mess with one.

aabram23 09-24-2014 08:58 AM
I picked both of these up yesterday. The first is my first type 1 photo. I emailed Ben to see if he knew much about the photo such as where it came from or who the other guy next to Ruth may be. He didn't know so if anyone out there has an idea it would appreciate it.

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...84d45e5113.jpg

The second thing I ran across was an old wooden Worch cigar box. Don't know if it's the right period as I haven't found another one on the internet yet. Just thought it was cool. Now if I could just find the ball cards.

Ben,
Thanks very much for that confirmation.
It's always nice when you get an unexpected surprise.
Even without kids or Lou smiling, I am still pretty psyched about getting it!

Thanks,

Mark that is a beautiful Van Oeyen Gehrig. On a lesser note... I finally managed to pick up the black version of the 1971 Pirates scroll pennant and a 1960 Bucs eye patch with the original string. The pennant has a few flaws bit I'll take it. I have been looking to add each of these for quite awhile. It's funny how you look for items for a long period of time and suddenly they all appear at once. I'm fortunate to love odd bargain basement Pirate trinkets that require little competition:p

Love the Pirates pennant and patch!

Picked up two large frames caked in dirt at an estate sale this weekend. When I cleaned them up, I found beautiful wood underneath. Used them to house two of my favorite pennants.

Those look great in the frames. I didn't know that Mike King Kelly was the subject of that film until I googled it. Me and my post war brain need to get out more:rolleyes:

Mike, I love the Pirates eye patch. That's a keeper, for sure! ;)

Beautiful frames/pennants, Greg.... What a stroke of luck, finding the perfect styles/sizes! Those two pennants are really unique!

And I LOVE that Pirates Eye Patch, Mike.... never seen one before... Gotta be one of very few remaining :confused:

Tying those two themes together (Pennants and that Eye Patch)... here's a pretty rare, circa 1960 Pirates Pennant with the same theme...

Runscott 09-26-2014 11:04 AM
MLB auctioned off the 'Marineros' jerseys last night, from Seattle's 'Latin American Beisbol' night this year.

I only wanted one, but didn't understand how the auction worked, and ended up with three. Got the main one I wanted - Paxton - plus Seager and Carson Smith. The Cano was awesome - pine tar all over it, and I was able to photo-match it. Unfortunately, it went for $2,800 so I got out of the bidding early.

One of these three will be the one I wear to the playoffs this year. yeah, right :(

perezfan 09-26-2014 12:41 PM
Very cool, Scott... and you never know.... 2 games out of the Wild Card with 3 to play. Stranger things have happened!

Who else did you get (besides Paxton?)

I got Seager and Carson Smith. Probably overpaid, especially after seeing this morning that they added tax :(, but my thinking is that they only used this design for one day, so probably more valuable than 'normal' game-used jerseys, so perhaps I can use them for trade bait if I get tired of them.

I really, really wish others hadn't been so interested in the Cano!

One of the better conditioned Albums that I have ever seen. I posted this on the card side but I also thought that this is memorabilia piece as well. I am looking for ideas on how to display it and peoples thoughts on removing the string and or changing one of the pages for a better conditioned one if I were so inclined? Thanks

Great stuff!! I love the "odd bargain basement trinkets" too......but I always seem to have competition :mad:. A friend and I constantly "cost each other money."

Wow that's a beautiful item. I think it would be best for you to display it at my house;)

Yep. The Rangers really wanted to knock out the A's, but it wasn't to be. GREAT season, and unexpected, for the Mariners. Picked up two baseballs over the last two nights: Paxton strikeout of Trout from last night, and foul ball by Trout off Hernandez during his first inning strikeout today. Can't go wrong with Cy Young vs AL MVP, right? (sit down, Kluber).

Hi Scott, sorry I couldn't go to last nights game. I wasn't aware that you were at the game today. I know you jokingly refer to me as a hoarder. I am guilty as charged:o Nonetheless, I took a page from your book and also purchased a game used Mariners ball from today’s game. Coincidently I too picked up a ball pitched to potential 2014 AL MVP Mike Trout by potential 2014 AL Cy Young Winner Felix Hernandez. I thought it was cool that Felix clinched the ERA title today and this pitch was from Trout’s last at bat of the season in the top of the 4th inning.

Runscott 09-29-2014 08:46 AM
That must have been the pitch in the dirt. I was the 5th guy in line and I only saw two Hernandez/Trout balls. You must have been right behind me!

I prefer stubs as I want to know that the ticket was at the actual game. Along the way I also added an unused 1971 opening day ticket, a 1971 Pirates Season Pass, a 1971 World Series hospitality Pass, 1971 media passes for the NCLS games at Three Rivers and Candlestick, and World Series Media passes for both Pittsburgh and Baltimore as well as press pins for the Pirates and the Orioles.

There were a few difficult items to find. I only have seen one stub for San Francisco NLCS game one and two stubs for game two. I have no idea why they are such a challenge. The 1971 Season Pass is the only one I have ever seen. The unused opening day ticket is one of a pair I found but unfortunately I could not obtain both. These items were also the most expensive to add to the collection. The only ticket I am still searching for is a stub for September 1, 1971 at Three Rivers. Until I stumble across one the season pass will have to cover that date.
Have you tried HUnt Auctions?

I check both Hunt and Collectible Classics regularly. Both sites normally have a good selection of Pirates items. For some reason this ticket has proven to be elusive. There was little media and public interest at the time. Compounding this there were only 11,278 fans in attendance. These factors likely contribute to the scarcity. This is my all time favorite team and the Sept. 1, 1971 stub serves as a symbol of what made that team so cool. They were Curtis Mayfield, Celia Cruz, Mick Jagger, Carlos Santana, and Johnny Cash dressed in mustard yellow, black, and white double knits. If that team had a soundtrack I think Santana's Jingo would have been perfect. I'm rambling, forgive me its an illness:o
