Tampa Bay Bucs Collectors -- Prepare for Heart Attack

Re: Tampa Bay Bucs Collectors -- Prepare for Heart Attack

Would be sweet to have a "classic" bucs jersey but man $450 for a nobody might be a bit much for me no matter how tough those jerseys are to find.

There's a chance that the O'Bradovich on Ebay right now (from Ballpark Heroes) is the one from this ad. It's a size 46 as stated.

Bump, just because...

Hahaha, that's awesome!

I have a sizable library of sportscard collecting magazines from the late 1970s through late 1980s, and love seeing the GU advertisements. Oddly enough, some of the items sold 30 years ago are worth about the same amount today, while other items are worth considerably more today.

It's also interesting to wonder how many of those items lost their provenance over the years and wound up in the trash or local thrift shop...

Glad you like it! It is a Wilson size 48. Jersey has 4 small repairs which was was a nice bonus. My last name is Giles, so this was an interesting pickup for me.

That Giles is a beauty. If you ever decide to let it go please keep me in mind.

Is it a Sand Knit or a Wilson? Does anybody have an idea of exactly when the Bucs used Sand Knit? I thought they only used Wilson.

Re: Tampa Bay Bucs Collectors -- Prepare for Heart Attack

Just got this awesome jersey from a fellow forum member. I wonder if this is the Giles jersey on that list??

Re: Tampa Bay Bucs Collectors -- Prepare for Heart Attack

A great item...it only stands to reason that a quality seller like BPH would be the ones offering it.

Re: Tampa Bay Bucs Collectors -- Prepare for Heart Attack

I was wondering when a jersey from this sale would pop up.... And this one finally did on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Jimmy-DuBose-197...item336a26fdb9


Quite a beauty!

I was only 1 years old at the time, but would have loved 'em still.

Re: Tampa Bay Bucs Collectors -- Prepare for Heart Attack

I will get some pics out and amend my will but I would like to add kudos for the late Mr. Dick Dobbins as well.
And also to the nicest man I have ever met in this hobby, Mr. Murf (we used to call him Allen Denny) of Brule Wisconsin.
For my generation, he was undoubtedly the standard by which all others were judged, he and wife Pat were and are a total class act. If ever their was a collector/dealer hall of fame, I would consider him to be the cornerstone of it.
The Hanratty is also from 1976, road white in which he played his only game, a loss to his former team the Pittsburgh Steelers. I also have his helmet.
My favorite item in a collection that totals more than 2000 items is a Tampa Bay Buccaneer helmet of Hugh Green.
I very rarely have overpaid for items that I have in my collection. Others may not see the same value in it but that doesn't affect the way that I feel about it.
We went about collecting these things a lot differently back then.
As a sidelight, the person who sold these jerseys I believe spent time in jail for selling them.

Let me amend two things, Murf and Pat Denny are still very much alive, I think I may have sounded like Mr. Hartel and Mr. Dobbins that they have passed and they have not.
Also, the person spending time in jail worked for the team and was not the Hartel family.
Hope that clears it up.

Re: Tampa Bay Bucs Collectors -- Prepare for Heart Attack

Let me chime in on Hartels.
Both were always answering the phone, knew their stuff and indeed were fair.
Always had great Cardinal jersies.
And while we are remembering, Dick Dobbins of SF Giants Memorabilia, was a great teacher of the hobby and always had fair deals and always had time to talk on the phone- long distance from East coast!

Love looking at the old ads in SCD and other sports magazines. The prices just make me drool.
