1981 Bob Gibson National Baseball Hall of Fame Personal Lifetime Pass

Bob Gibson - Forever Immortalized in Cooperstown!

A deeply personal artifact from one of baseball’s most dominant pitchers, this original National Baseball Hall of Fame Lifetime Pass was issued directly to Bob Gibson upon his induction into Cooperstown in 1981! The prestigious metal pass - roughly the size of a credit card - bears elegant engraving and features Gibby's full name: Robert Gibson.

Issued exclusively to Hall of Fame inductees, these passes grant lifetime admission to the Hall of Fame & Museum and are seldom released from private hands. Originating directly from Gibson’s personal collection, this example remains in excellent condition presented in bright, lustrous gold color.

While this pass granted Gibson lifetime entry to the Hall post-induction, it was his legendary career that earned him first-ballot enshrinement in 1981. His 17 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals included 251 wins, 3,117 strikeouts, a 2.91 ERA, two Cy Young Awards, the 1968 NL MVP, and two World Series championships - cementing his status as one of the game’s fiercest and most accomplished competitors and forever enshrining his legacy among baseball’s elite.

A rare opportunity to acquire a museum-issued keepsake tied directly to a true icon of the game!
