First time in a long time I have been able to add anything to my 1971 Bucs Collection. I picked up this gorgeous 1970-71 Gene Clines jersey from Net54 member Clint (ksfarmboy). Many thanks Clint I couldn’t be happier! As far as I can tell there are six versions of this pin and a Zum Zum vendor version. I believe that with this 2.5” pin I now have all seven. These four team issued 1971 photos bring my total to 34 different individual team members. I believe I now have all of them unless Coach Frank Oceak has a photo I am unaware of. His head shot in the Baltimore World Series program has a background all others do not. This leads me to believe that this shot was added solely for the World Series program. There may be head shots of Frank Brosseau and a Frank Tavares out there I am unaware of. Brosseau pitched two innings and faced five batters in 1971 and Taveres never came to bat and debuted on September 25th which was game #159. Due to these factors they may not have included head shots of either player. However Rimp Lanier batted four times in 1971 and there was a team issued photo featuring his image. If you have seen Brosseau and Taveres 1971 head shots I would love to hear from you!

Congratulations on the Clines jersey pickup. It's in nice shape. So many Pirates jerseys of that era have letters and numbers that are a bit washed out (and sometimes replaced) because of later use. While I suppose the Pirates can be blamed (or credited, depending on your point of view) for ushering in the era of pullover knit jerseys, I'm very nostalgic for some of those '70s era designs and like the "old gold" and black combination. And, of course, that particular jersey design brings back so many great memories of some fantastic Bucco players and teams.

Completely agree.... It is soooooo hard to find one of these in nice game-used (and unaltered) condition. And yours, of course is a beauty.

Congrats!

Nice pickups, Mike!

Thanks Scott, apparently I'm clueless about the photos. No sooner do I pontificate about the likelihood that a Tavares photo doesn't exist...

Picked these two items in Huggins and Scott. Acquiring the season pass was a long-time goal of mine and to get it at the price I did (they normally sell north of $15k these days) was especially good fortune.

I had seen several Bob Feller Orange Ice Cream ads but I had never seen the fudgsicle version.

Hi Bob,
These are both undeniably terrific pieces. I actually looked carefully at both of them, but didn't have the funds to chase them. I'm glad that you were the successful winning bidder. Congrats!

[71buc]

Awesome pick UPS Bob. I love the Feller.

[Lordstan]

Nice photo and broadside.

Great pickup Dan!

Picked up the '23 Senators team photo. Features Walter Johnson.
My reason for picking it up?, only photo of George Gibson in a Washington uni I've ever seen.

Hey Dan, I've always wondered, I know you have a Nebraska connection with your long-time collecting focus but do you also have a Native American connection to it?

Joey, Lance's point is that if you're going to remove the image so quickly, why post it at all???

I see his point It just cracks me up because I really think he goes through all the threads to see if i deleted anything so he can point it out.

[JoeyFarino]

And I have no idea how to post a photo thats not part of my photobucket

I don't have to go through all your threads when you kick off the monthly pick-ups thread, and then delete the image before the month's done.
