July Pick Up Thread

[71buc]

I have been looking for a game worn 1971 era Pirates hat for a while. I finally found one that was in my price range and in great condition. This one originated from 3rd base coach Frank Oceak's family. I have also been looking for one if these banks for a couple of years. Then of course three showed up on Ebay the same day.

Perhaps this doesn’t count as vintage, but I picked up a game used ball from Game 5 of the 2010 World Series.

It cost a pretty penny, but I’ve sold a bunch of stuff lately, and needed something to do with the cash. As a Giants fan, I figured a ball from their first World Series clinching game in San Francisco was a no brainer, and no guarantee any trustworthy ones come up for sale in the future..

Great pickups, Mike! Congrats on landing these two white whales.

I love that your bank is wearing a 1971 style cap! Great pick ups!

Cool ball, I'd love to find a 1971 World Series ball and the graphics on that game box are awsome. Great pick ups! Rob, I have seen the bank with a 71 world series champs graphic added at the base. I passed on two of them over the years because of condition issues. I wish I had not been so picky.

Outstanding pickups Mike! I love the fact that so many (previously) hard to find items are making their way out to the collectors. I know I've been finding several things lately that I haven't seen in quite awhile. I know you already have one, but I just saw a Rimp Lanier 3x5 on Ebay. Can't remember the last time I saw one. Love that 71 team!

Thanks Mike, I agree that it's cool that so much stuff is hitting the market. Ironically this morning I picked up a Clemente pin that has eluded me for years. I'm sure I over paid but these opportunities have been far and few in between. I was hoping that Rimp Lanier would be on the unlined side of the 3X5. Nonetheless $380 is a crazy price tag for a guy who had 4 plate appearances. I dont know why he is so difficult. I once mailed him a photo and included a return envelope and $30. He never responded and kept the money.

Thanks to fellow site member, Fred Y, was able to pick up this interesting P O S Jordan advertising piece. It`s huge, 36 X 34 and almost 3 inches thick and was designed to hang from the ceiling. Looks great in the hobby room. Thanx again Fred very nice meeting you sir !

Nice acquisition, Kenny. Very tough to find an example of that game that isn't crushed and battered to all heck.

Great cap 71buc! I am sure it looks awesome in your collection.

Flea market find this morning. A new addition to the fence.

[71buc]

Thanks horzverti! Although I primarily limit my Pirate collection additions to items produced between 1970-72, I will occasionally pick up a later item if it fits my focus on the members of 1971 team. This item falls in that category. It is a class of 2001 HOF induction watch that originated from Bill Mazeroski's estate.

Ebucks pick up this month to add to my advertising scoreboard collection.

Purchased this batting helmet for my Expos collection from my friend who was batboy for the Expos from 1979-1982, was able to photomatch it thanks to a splash of red paint on the white
