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:

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

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

Here's a couple of items my dad picked up for me antique hunting. The D&M bat is 35" and weighs over 40 0z.

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).

Finally after searching for seven years I obtained my long sought after game one stub from the 1971 NLCS. When I started this project seven years ago my goal was to obtain ticket stubs from all of the post season games played by the 1971 Pirates. 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.

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
