Favorite Companion Pieces

[71buc]

As my avatar indicates I collect all things related to the 1971 Pirates. Here are a few items I like to pair. For a number of years I’ve been trying to complete a complete 1971 Pirates season home and away ticket run. I’ve been stuck at 64% for longer than I care to mention. My father bought me this real 1971 World Series Staff ring it belonged to the ticket sales manager. They look great together. Next, bats used by the three HOF members from that team paired with tickets to Clemente’s 3000th hit, Mazeroski’s Game 7 walk off, and Stargell’s 475th HR which was his last and remains the franchise record. Next up Steve Blass’ 1971 post season awards with a Type 1 photo of him posing with them in his home. Last, but not least, the iconic (at least I think so) front page of the 10/10/71 Edition of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and the actual flog used on the printing presses that day.

Picked up the original drawing/painted design box several years before I knew for sure it actually made it to production

I agree about this being a great Icee poster.
I don't recall seeing this before.
What year is it from & does anyone know if they made these for other teams than the Reds?

I would have to say the photo used for this great Dottie Kemenshek painting.

Ditto. I have always liked the Lincoln Mercury piece as well.

1976 per the article at the url below:

Also - https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?p=2467714

And: http://www.mearsonlineauctions.com/lot-90106.aspx

Given that the Reds won the WS in 1975 and 1976 (the Champs), I surmise the Reds were the only team selected for the Icee promotion.
