BucCollector's Pirates Autographs, 1970-1979

[Therion]

He's also a former Astros player. I had no idea he was basketball too.

Dal Maxvill signed this TTM in 2015. I like ballpoint autos on vintage cards a lot; it looks like he could have signed it in 1974.

Here's another custom cut, for Dave May, who never had a Pirates card and has passed away.

It's an original design by Millburg Sports. The QR code points to May's BB-Ref page.



Millburg was quick and easy to work with. I like the branding on card and sticker.

 

[Therion]

That autograph window seems deep. Is it fragile?

 

[BucCollector]

Can't really say, I've never had the card out of the sticker-sealed case.

I should add that I provided Millburg with the auto; it was an unlined index card that I bought from another collector on The Bench.

 

[BucCollector]

Jerry May was a purchase from a collector on SCF.

 

[BucCollector]

Milt May - coached with the Pirates after his playing days and is an excellent TTM signer.

Maz is obvs due for an upgrade; although I do like this card, the photo is 1960s vintage.

Al McBean was a good TTM signer up to around 2017, and is the only request I've ever sent to the US ****** Islands.

Sam McDowell's only Pirates card is the difficult to find 1975 SSPC, which I have in a full sheet but did not want to cut up. Sam signed this scanned and printed copy via a private signing in 2018.

I know the Dodgers had a SSPC team set in sheet form. I have itstill in the magazine, but I can't remember now if it was issued in a generic baseball magazine or maybe a Dodger yearbook. It's in one of my binders. Assuming Pirates were similar?

 

[BucCollector]

Originally came in a magazine, but it was already detached when I got it. No Dodgers, but does have Preston Gomez in an Astros uniform.

 

[mrmopar]

The Dodger sheet(s) I have are all Dodgers and may have been a year or two later than the large set they issued.

 

[BucCollector]

Will McEnaney pitched just one season in Pittsburgh and never had a card. He signed this custom via a private signing in 2020.

 

[Therion]

Customs are slowly becoming my favorite part of team collecting autographs.

 

[BucCollector]

Jim McKee had a couple of short stints with the Pirates but never had a MLB card. He died in 2002. This custom was made by CardArtConnect on Twitter using a page from an autograph book.

 

[BucCollector]

A custom and a team card for Jerry McNertney, who signed these TTM in 2020. I've got a dupe of the custom available for trade.

 

[BucCollector]

Doc Medich is a reliable signer; he signed this TTM for me in 2016.

Mario Mendoza signed the 1975 Topps card via PastPros. About a week after I got it back, the Archives card came out. Love them both.
