April Pick Ups

[71buc]

That Brett bat is awesome! I am almost embarrassed to post this pickup after the long shadows cast by some amazing pickups this month. I have no pride so I'll share it nonetheless The 1971 San Francisco NLCS stubs were difficult to find. However, I have seen 3 stubs to game 1 and two stubs to game 2. A 1971 ALCS Game 3 stub has been terribly elusive. I had given up on my goal of collecting a stub from all of the post season games of the 1971 season. Game 3 was the last stub I needed to complete my goal. Then I found this one almost accidentally. It is the first example of this stub I have ever seen. Reggie hit the first two post season homers of his career in this game. Thanks for indulging me. Its hard to believe an $11 pickup could make me so happy. I think my wife may be right about my need for therapy.

I totally get it, Mike. There are 3 crappy pinbacks I have been searching for for 20 years. If I ever find them, I figure I'll be the only bidder. If I find them...

Lou was a nickname. Don't see many of his gamers with it. That's a nice example. Coming from the KC area myself, Brett was one of my favorite players.
