1968 Pirates Photo Pennant...

I’m a fan of the Pirates pennant! Do you happen to have them displayed? Still remember my room when I was young with the circle of pennants on the ceiling and another circle of pennants on one of the walls.

Of course really like the look of the ‘64 standup set with, for some unknown reason, the Brooks example being my favorite

Mark,

I don't have them displayed. They're just in a stack. There's other years I don't have, maybe one day.

Howard,

Apparently you and I share the same "sickness". Unfortunately, in the past, that led to me purchasing a lot of newer items.

Received the photo today, thanks! I'll post it somewhere down the line.

Did you ever get into buying these?

The huge majority of my collection stops at 1973. I have left the door open and own some cards and memorabilia post 1973 that I found visually appealing. I have never collected bat or jersey cards as the idea that companies are destroying pieces of history to manufacture "rare" new cards is appalling to me.

Just thought about 1 post 1973 item I have as yet been unable track down - in 1975 money magazine had a cover story which featured images of some Clemente cards- I have a copy of just the cover - anyone see or have the magazine?
