1971 MLB Champion Pittsburgh Pirates to Appear at Memorabila Show
Sixteen players from the Pittsburgh Pirates 1971 World Series Championship team will be attending a sports memorabilia show in Moon Township, PA. Held at Robert Morris University's (RMU) Sewall Center from May 20th through the 22nd, the show will have 250 tables of cards and memorabilia. All players, with the exception of Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski, will be charging $15 per autographed item. To get Mazeroski's signature, fans will pay $35-65 depending on the item.
