ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
The Bucs, locked in a tight 3-way pennant race with the Dodgers and Giants in '66, optimistically had these World Series pins made up, only to finish 3rd, rendering the pins truly "made up." One of the discarded lot, this 1" in diamater pin is black with a gold border with a great raised gold image of the team's pirate and crossed swords logo between a gold "19" and "66" and above a gold "Pittsburgh, World Series." Pin is NRMT and comes in the original Balfour case which is blue with a clear top and also NRMT..
