Pirates Stuff To Offer

I got a lot more Pirates stuff to offer up than I did Astros.  First up is the autographed stuff. 


Bob Friend


Vern Lax


El Roy Face






Now a bunch of team issued items.  Assorted years from 1958 to 1972.



 






These are 2015 Topps Cardboard Icons Gold.  The only way you could get these were as a team set from Topps.com. The golds are all numbered 18/49.  It is a complete team set minus the Bill Virdon.  







Nest up is 2015 Topps Cardboard Icons Silver numbered to 199.  Same deal as the golds just a larger print run. 






I don't know what these next items are.  They are on glossy paper and look like some type of Wire Photos. 


I whole bunch of random unsigned 8x10s.


















These are some newer copies of a bunch of Brace/Rowe postcards.  These ae all reprints and have fake autographs.  The copy is so clear however the autos look legit in hand.  The ones that were done in ballpoint look like they are slightly dented in from the pen stroke the copy is so clear.  




This is what the backs look like. 

This is the 1994 Quintex Pirates Team Set including the Bill Virdon.  Somehow I ended up with two of them so I have a full team to get rid off.  There is another version of this set with Nationwide Insurance on the back instead of Quintex.





I am also going to include a bunch of Pirates Stratomatic cards in a bunch of different verities.  There are some originals and reprints also.  A bunch of leftovers from having to buy team sets to get the Virdon.

Some Astros Items I Forgot To Include Yesterday

 When I offered up some Astros stuff yesterday I forgot to add these 1981 MSA Stop and Go Cups.  This is the entire team set minus Bill Virdon.



Nolan Ryan is obviously the biggest name here but there were some other stars on that team.  There are cups of Don Sutton, Jose Cruz, Cezar Cedano, and JR Richard to name a few.

Does Anyone Want These Astros Odds and Ends

Sometimes to get a Bill Virdon I don't have yet I have to purchase a team set or team lot for the one specific card/postcard/picture.  So I end up with a bunch of odds and ends that I don't want.  First up is a bunch of Astros stuff.



There are eleven extra 8x10s. The names are handwritten on the backs but you can see who they are above.  Obviously I am keeping the Virdon.  These are an assortment of Team Issues and Wire Photos.














Five of these came with the above 8x10.  The Don Nottebart I got in a different deal and is signed.  It is way older than the rest as he only played for the Astros from 63 to 65.



If someone sees this and wants them just comment.  If I don't get and takers I'll be offering them up on Facebook later this week.  I will be offering up a bunch of Pirates stuff in the coming days.  There is way more Pirates stuff than there is Astros.
