 Lot 93. Rare Uncataloged 1977 Post-Gazette Pittsburgh “Pirates Portraits” Set of 31. Using the same sketches by several artists, the Pittsburgh newspaper issued in book form a set of 30 cards, each 8 ½” x 11”. This set consists of 31 “cards,” each about 4 ½” x 9 ½” and clipped from the newspaper. Below each portrait are career and statistical information. The checklist is the same as for the book issue, except that Jerry Hairston has been added, increasing the newpaper set to 31. Hairston was sold to the Pirates in June, and the set appeared in the newspaper in June. There also are some number variations between the book and newspaper issues. Key players in the set are Stargell, Gossage, Oliver and Parker. This set has been neatly clipped from the newspapers. All have a black border all the way around, and in most cases, the full thickness of the border is present. Nm. The probability of finding a nicer set is not high.
Winning Bid $185.
