i picked up around 400 auto'd 3x5 card of the pirates from a very advanced pirates/royals collector here in des moines, i have know him for the last 15 years. this is just an amazing group of all pirates auto's. included with the 3x5's are personal checks, cards, clippings, etc. glued on many of the 3x5 cards are stat sheets for the player or a small pic. i am still going through all of them but so far the players included in this lot are from late 1890s to late 50's, with a few 60's-90's. there are quite a few that only had 1-3 years in the pros. obviously, he hadnt put as much effort into players after the 60's. since i only collect iowa bb items i will prob keep only a few and be passing the rest off to a pirates or auto collector in the near future. email me if your one of them.
