BucCollector's Pirates Autographs, 1970-1979

Next up has to be Dave Parker, right? I'm on the edge of my seat to see what you have for The Cobra.

Jose Pagan. The 1969 Topps was a pickup from an SCN member.

Here's Dave Parker. Sorry to be underwhelming, the Cobra is definitely deserving of an upgrade. The 2023 Topps Heritage High Numbers set has a 1974-style Parker auto that would look good here.

Freddie Patek had a reputation for not signing TTM, so I was pretty elated when this 2018 Heritage card came out.

one of my favorite pirates

Orlando Pena is fantastic. He signed the Card Saver to me con afectos - with affection - and signed the custom card as well, adding his career start and end dates.

Juan Pizarro signed this via TTM in 2016.

I was kinda partial to this one, so I picked up a copy a few years back:

Paul Popovich signed this TTM in 2019.

Willie Randolph was one of the many young players who were traded for vets as the Pirates battled for division titles during the '70s. The 1976 SSPC was an eBay purchase.

I hope that this thread isn't done and especially that life just got busy for our author. Anyone know @BucCollector outside of this site and can verify all is well? He has been radio silent since February.

I was actually hoping this was a bump from him with an update. He's been quiet too long.
