Collection Center piece

[ooo-ribay]

Mike - I think it's awesome that you collect one year of one team. It's got to make the hunt that much more satisfying when you find something that fits your narrow focus. Congrats!!!

I'll have to think a bit on whether I have a Giants centerpiece or not.

Congrats Mike! I love that 71 team. As for centerpieces, not sure if I have just one since I collect a lot of individual HOF autographs as well as putting together all the autographs from several "famous" teams. With that said, I would probably say my 1960 Pirate project would be as close to a centerpiece for me, since it took a long time (a couple of autographs, either finding the right condition or just finding one) took a lot longer than expected. This one has every member that put on a uniform during the season, including coaches, front office/owners and broadcaster.

Thanks everyone. Those Expos tickets are beautiful. I have only been able to find one for my collection. They are hard to find. The only other stubs that seem as tough are the 1971 Padres.

The 1960 autograph display is incredible. I have done the same thing with the 1971 team. However, I have been unable to land Galbreath and Dr. Finegold. Rimp Lanier was really the only challange for the players.

This is all of the jewelery related to the 71 Series.

LOL...I had to draw the line at Dr. Finegold. I've never seen his autograph and I had enough trouble finding Danny Whelan on a flat, let alone the team doctor.
By the way, it looks like we have the 60 and 71 teams covered, but I never see anyone on here giving any love to the 79 team. Go Bucs!
