Mike,

That's a beauty!
Very impressive how you did what you had to do on very short notice to snag it.
Although as a young Giants fan, I have to admit I was not too happy with Bob Robertson and the Bucs that year!

Very nice item! My favorite Pirates squad, too. My dad took me to game #5 of that series, and it was a wonderful time to be a Pirates fan.

Thanks for all of the nice comments. In order to ensure i could obtain it I sold much more of my collection than I needed to. However, I would do it all over again! I don't think framing it is within my means due to the substantial size. Nor do I have a wall large enough to accommodate it or a spouse who would permit such decorating.

What do you mean 'Accomplished'? - you still have to come up with the bunting that goes behind it, and then a chunk of outfield fence to hang it off of

Now that is awesome!! Congrats Mike. I was 10 yrs old at the time and really like the Pirates of that time frame too, even though I was born and raised in Houston. What a great team those Pirates were.
