Need to find 1960 Pirates Trainer Whelan

[RTK]

What about tracking down family?

This one ended last month with Goldin. You may check there and see if he is willing to reach out to the high bidder on if he wants to part with the Whelan

Thanks, I'll give that a try, although I doubt anyone will break up a set, but you never know. I'm still hopeful that I'll find one by July when this goes to the framer. I'm taking my 61 Yankees over on Tuesday and looking forward to finally getting both up on the wall.

I did try that a couple of years ago, but hit a dead end. I thought I'd found his son, but it didn't pan out.

Well, after 10 years of looking, and finding one that had been sold just a few weeks prior, and one that was part of a set of signed items that the owner didn't want to part with, and several on signed basketballs, and even one that I had paid for but then was told that it had been sold the same weekend at a show, I was about ready to give up when I happened upon one last night.
Hopefully I'm not jinxing this, but it should be in my hands by next week and I will then have possibly the most complete matted and framed 1960 Pirates piece anywhere. This has been a labor of love, and I'm really excited about finishing it.

Congrats Mike. Well Done. Can't wait to see it all framed. Did you get the 61 Yankees done yet? If so post a photo!

Thanks Mark! Yes, the 61 Yankess is complete. I put a picture of it back in the May pickups, but here's a link to it.

The 60 and the 61 will be across from each other on opposite walls so that I can see them everytime I sit at the computer.
