Collecting the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates

[JimStinson]

Very Popular team nice project ! I just ended up with this HUGE matted and framed 1960 display as part of a collection. It included World Series Program, Full WS ticket , original snapshot of the scoreboard taken during the first game. Had autographs of almost everyone on the team except UMBRICHT & OLIVO which should eventually be the toughest signatures from the roster. Could not sell the piece intact and framed so eventually took it apart and it sold for more than my asking price intact...go figure Good Luck with the project

Jim, when I first saw that you were selling that Pirates piece, I just about fainted. If it wasn't for the fact that I already had all of the autographs in question along with a couple more (owner, announcer, etc) I would have jumped on it myself because I know I already have a lot more invested then what you were selling it for. Sometimes, people just don't want to buy a project that big that's already matted and framed for some reason.

Well, what are the odds? After looking and looking and looking, I finally found a Danny Whelan sig on the same day I found a Jim (Possum) Woods sig. I now have everyone that put on a uniform (including coaches) from the 60 team, traveling sec, trainer, special assistant, both announcers and the two most known owners. I'm putting this team project to bed with a big smile on my face!!

Too good to be true I guess. The seller cannot find the autograph so is refunding my money. Danny Whelan is indeed a slippery fellow unless you want him on a basketball. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
