Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Shipp 96, here goes one. I found this photo of Willie Stargell from 1980 when the City of Alameda held a parade in his honor. It was Willie Stargell Day and the field at my old high school was dedicated in his name.

The cool thing is an 11 year old ME is in this photo. I am the dark haired kid who's head is directly below the young black girl with the beaded braids in her hair. I had never seen this photo before last night when I found it on Photoshelter.com and I was shocked to see my mug in it. Luckily the photographer has this photo for sale so I am going to buy a copy of it. I plan to frame it with the two "Welcome Home Willie" pin-on's that I kept from that day.

Oh were you the long-haired kid on the right toward the front?

Sorry, but I can 't figure out which mug is yours. Which black girl has the beaded braids? Where is she relative to the photo?

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Thanks MLB~NUT,

Unfortunately by the time I got off work (PST) and read your post, they were already closed. I will call them on Monday.

No one has ever contacted me from MLB auctions "customer service", which is really sad. I would have bid on numerous auctions in the future, but now I am not so sure.

I am going to sound old here, but I miss when customer service meant you actually spoke to a human.

Oh well, thank you again for the help. I will keep you posted when it inevitably arrives.

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Does anyone know a contact phone number for MLB auctions? Here is the deal. So it's still not here and I am over that. What I am not happy about is that I have written MLB.com "customer service" twice, responded to the email that came from the Pirates when I won and no one has responded to me in days. That part is just unacceptable.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

You need to contact who ever is head of Pirates authentices, or their game used dept, thats if you know who it is. Maybe this # Shipp 412-323-5000. Hope this helps

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

I've won alot on MLB Auctions, usually a item a week, and The Pirates I have to say were the Quickest shippers soo far, Relax Shipp it will come...

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

So, I have now gone essentially one week longer than MLB~NUT, and 2 days longer than hrvatwill, still no uniform . I wrote MLB customer service today and asked what is the deal? I have yet to hear back from them, but there is another auction going on now and I would love to bid, but will not out of principal if these do not arrive by the end of this week. They sure did not hesitate to take my funds after winning...

Don't know why three jerseys/pants end at all at once, and there is such a disparity in shipping times? Trying not to get too upset, but it is annoying.

I will also say NFL auctions have never taken longer than one week to get me the items I have won. And I win ALOT on there!

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Hopefully the Cardinals, take the Series from the Pirates... Since the Pirates are like 11 games out anyways...

Not relevant, the Cards are NOT going to win the Division, so I would rather see Pittsburgh achieve an above .500 season than St. Louis have a respectable 2nd place finish! And yeah, I know you are a Cards fan .

Re: Show off your Pittsburgh Pirates items!

Still no jersey, but just wanted to say glad the Pirates seem to be out of their horrible pitching funk, if the last three games are any indication (1-0 lose to Brewers, 2-1 extra inning lose to Brew and 6-2 win over Cards).

Now if they can actually score some runs...
