September Pickups

[71buc]

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

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...

If you don't mind me asking.....did you get it for a good price?

Pricewise, pins seem to be all over the place these days.

Hi Rob,

I paid $405 with shipping and am pleased with that hammer price. Not a bargain, but fair considering scarcity and the premium that seems to follow Cubs pieces.

In case anyone is interested, a very nice member told me he found the uncropped version of this image in the Corbis library dated May 10, 1935. He also seems to remember it being a Van Oeyen. In the larger version, it does appear to be taken in Cleveland so that would fit.

Below is image from corbis

For you, I wish you could have gotten it cheaper.

For the future of my pin collection, I'm glad you didn't.

Just got nice group of vintage Steelers tickets. One of them is a ticket from the first game where they were known as the Steelers (before that they were the Pirates).

I will have this for sale within the next week or two.

Mike,
Nice addition to the collection! Dates the pin from 1951-1953. Now if you factor in the Kiner "Hearts" pin thats a cost of 200 each Now that I would consider a bargain And remember adding a piece to a collection that brings you joy money sometimes isnt the main reason we do it!!

I hope you are taking them seriously about removing the label. I've heard bad stories.

I like the photos just the way they are with markings and writing on them. Would never mess with one.
