Willie Stargell 1987 HoF Induction Press Pin and Balfour Original Artwork.
Lot 245. Willie Stargell 1987 HoF Induction Press Pin and Balfour Original Artwork. Stargell’s 475 home runs, 1540 RBI and .282 career average, coupled with the leadership he provided for the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates’ “We Are Family” team, earned him a place at Cooperstown in 1987. He was a seven-time All-Star and MVP of the National League, the NLCS and the World Series in 1979. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. For the ceremonies, the Hall of Fame provided media representatives with press pins designed and produced by the Balfour Company. Offered here are one of the pins, #257, and the original artwork on which the pin is based. The pin, in black, gold, red and white, is nm-m. The nm color artwork, housed in a Balfour folder, is approximately 6.5” across on 9” x 12” art paper. The artwork is hand-colored. This one-of-a-kind display item is an attractive “must” for a Pittsburgh Pirates or Stargell collection!
Winning Bid $134.
