1971 Arco Pirates set of 12 - A must see!

I was fortunate many years ago to acquire a few sets of these from the family of a retired western Pa. gas station owner. As a kid I loved these, as Clemente and Stargell where steering the Buccos to a world series title in 1971. I still have my originals - complete with pin holes, tape, and VERY yellowed paper stock; but still wouldn't give those up for anything.

However, from a presentation standpoint, they don't cut it. Most, if not all complete sets I've seen on the bay wouldn't hold a candle to what's shown here. Since they were stored on top of one another in a box for most of their life, the yellowing is very minimal and mostly confined to the perimeter of the paper stock.

These sets are 100% original and are as crisp as when they were handed out nearly 40 years ago. Price is $95 delivered and will be securely packaged. Please pm on first come basis. Paypal preferred.
