I love the 80s

[bocca001]

I know that there are at least a few closeted 1980s collectors on the Net54 memorabilia side. Even Mark S. had a 1980s jersey in his most recent TSOG video. Would love to see what 1980s treasures everyone has.

I'll start with this SF Giants circa 1988 Humm-Baby pennant. I've been collecting Giants pennants for at least 15 years and had never seen it before. I know there are some very rare baseball and football pennants from the 1980s that go under the radar.

Billy Ball! Back when an autograph was worth getting.

Nice, Doug! I can still hear the Billy Ball radio jingle in my head. You can hear it on this video at about the 29 minutes and 45 seconds mark.

These 80s series pennants are incredibly rare and undervalued in my opinion.

That was the Manager Roger Craig’s favorite saying. We were living in San Jose during that time frame. Was in the “big one” in San Jose during the World Series. We had just ordered a pizza for carry out and was waiting for it to get done. BOOM, earthquake hits and never did get that damned pizza…. ;-)

Nice, Rob. I'll add a few from that Ken Anderson 1982 NFL Properties series in a bit.

As for Butchie and the 1989 World Series, I was also in San Jose at the time. Playing wiffle ball. I had been to game 2 in Oakland. Here are some pins from that World Series.

Thanks Marc, and thank you for that link. That was a great year, and even more so because I'm a Dodger fan, hahaha.

I must admit the 1980s have been growing on me lately, regarding both baseball and music.
