September Pickups

[CobbSpikedMe]

Just got this in the mail today. 1976-77 Saginaw Gears (IHL) Turner Cup Champions Photo Pennant. Can't imagine how few of these are still surviving today. I can't stop looking at it.

Thanks,

Sweet pennant Andy!

Here's a nice pair of early 60's LA pennants I just picked up.

Thanks,

Brent

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.

8" wide X 6" tall
Harpooned this on eBay last night...had a BIN of $45.00....Usually I like bigger things but it just looked so classy...and I liked the fact the Glee club supported the crew team...Plus it's mint!!

Mike,

That is such a cool idea to collect all the stubs along with the other items that coincide with the playoffs and series. I really like this idea, even though I'm an O's fan and we lost this particular series (we should have won!), it makes for such a cool display.

Oh, I don't see any parking passes in there; do you have any for the playoffs or series?

Mark

Nice collection there, Mike!

Thanks Mark and Scott. I didn't consider parking passes. The frustration caused by searching for the NLCS stubs just about did me in. I don't think I could handle such a maddening task for awhile. Those Oriole teams of the mid 60's through 1979 were fun to watch. It would be fun to see yet another Bucs vs. Orioles world series this year. Hopefully if the baseball Gods are smiling the result would be the same as the previous two

[Mark70Z]

I hope both teams make it again. It's been a while since the O's have done much of anything so it's nice to see them compete again after so many years, especially for a die hard O's fan. Yes; Pirates vs. Orioles; maybe we could play "another" seven game series...

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

Here is the game used kiosk contact at PNC, not sure if you have this or not. I'll check with a few of the local antique shops around here. PiratesKiosk@gmail.com

Wow...thanks I appreciate the help. It certainly serves to take off a bit of the sting of last nights debacle.
