Hey Andy - can you check my thread from yesterday "my first question" and tell me if you know anything? Thanks!

Edit: and there's another thread titled "1970s baseball pinbacks" that asks the same question, but with more pictures.

Mays
 

Hi Rob,

I'm afraid I can't help with your question. I've owned a few over the years but not with the "rose" background. I've had a few A's with the same coloring as Vida. I've seen a few Cubs if I remember correctly as well.

-Andy

There are a bunch of mediocre Cubs and mediocre Red Sox

as well as Mays, Clemente and Blue.......:confused:

Thanks for posting Vida Andy! Very nice!

Yeah pins!!!

Thanks for joining in Mike! Always love to see a nice tigers and cubs collection! Al

Mike's table display....is, in large part, the reason why I started collecting 5-6 years ago. I never get tired of seeing it.

Great stuff, Fellas.

Andy, i knew your collection was world-class. The website share confirmed it. Absolutely jawdropping, sir.
Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks for the kind words Aaron! I too love seeing displays and some of Al's posts really propelled me as well. I'm still a generalist at heart, but most of my funds are centered on Cubs and Tigers now. I need to update both of those display photos, because I have added quite a few pieces. I'll do it today and get them on this thread.

Pinbacks are soooooo fun to collect!!!:D

Chris - I love the Reds pins. I've never seen the Bresslers pin.

Scott - Maloney had at least one. Relatively common.

More Reds Pins
 

Here are some of my recent pick ups as well as a few of my favorites. Anyone looking to unload Reds pins let me know!

Dave, Thanks for posting that. Yes Scott these are the pins I was talking about. For Hunter and Chance also. About an inch across. Al

Thanks for the tip about the Maloney pin, Dave!

reds
 

Dave might be for sale.;);)

pins
 

Wow looks like I might have an old fashion PIN WAR going on between 2 collectors... :D:D:D may the best man win!

Well its over Dave you are the winner !!!

I've shown them before, but since we've got a new pins thread going --

Here's the common Luke Appling on the seldom seen placard/brochure that was also given out that day.

Also shown: three PCL pins.

Greg

Hi Greg,
Nice PCLs nice to hear from you ! Thought you fell off the face of the earth!;);) LOL Lets see some more of that world class collection!

A few more pins. Picked up a few along the way, but do not really collect.

bump? :cool:

I don't really have a lot of pins ( not really sure why I never picked many up), but here is what I have

Attachment 133116

There have not been enough Cubs pins for my taste, so I will add some.

wow! maybe they need to go back to the "two bears" logo. seems like they could win back then. ;)

great collection!

Thanks Rob. I wish it were that easy, but it's going to take more than a logo for us to win.

How about a mascot? :p

Actually they just created one this winter: Clark the Bear. I am not holding my breath that this will be the shot in the arm we need.

Probably not, but he was the Cubs' biggest signing of the off season :p

Ouch! But true.

Spectacular Pins, MK...

But that is not an intimidating Mascot.

THIS is a winning Mascot....

I think he was eaten by a goat. ;)

that was fun.....let's get back to pins.

I can do that

A couple of my favorite players - one post-War and one pre-War.

love the crossed bats, MK.

A few NY Giants pins. Nothing spectacular. A few on the left side may even be NY Giants football :confused:

Rob,
Thanks for pumping some life into this thread!

As I result, Al reached out to me and offered up this duplicate Gaylord Perry PM-10 pinback this evening so I filled a hole in my collection. :cool:[/QUOTE]

As follow up to my earlier post:
I received this Gaylord Perry pinback from Al today. It looks terrific.
For those of you who haven't dealt with Al before, I will tell you that he's terrific. ;)

BTW, this is the second pinback that I've purchased from him and I'm really pleased with both of them.... Thanks Al!

Perry
 

Thanks Scott for the kind Words! Glad you could use them and fill a hole in the collection! Always a pleasure when dealing with Scott!

Eagles Pin Collection
 

Incredible pins everyone - I especially love the Cubs collection shown.
Here is a shot of my Eagles pin collection. Sorry to mix in some football :)

How come you'll sell to Scott but not to me?? :eek:

j/k

Your to new here! And you must have at least 500 posts in order for me to even consider selling you a piece to help your collection!:D:D LOL D:D

Here's a couple of mine.

Clint,
I'm glad that you showed everyone your Dizzy Dean pinback. :cool:

I still feel that's one of the most visually attractive pinbacks that I've seen. If I was a Cards fan it would be at the top of my must have list!

Thanks Scott. The photo isn't too far off from the size maybe a little bigger. It's the only one I've seen and I'm not sure why the rarity.

beautiful pins, Clint!

ha ha. yeah, I know how the pecking order works! :D

SF Seals, 1949 Japan Tour
 

Here are some of my favorite pre-Giants SF pins, all from the historic Lefty O'Doul-led 1949 SF Seals tour of Japan.

The wonderful enameled badges with ribbons were given to and worn by tour participants, including players, management, press, military, and other dignitaries.

I could definitely make room in my collection for the interlocking SF :D

Dean/Martin
 

Gas House Gang!

lets try this
 

done

Thanks for your nice comments about my pin collection Al -- I'll post a few more later today. I haven't posted much because I've been doing more liquidating than buying!
The grouping you just put up for sale is amazing. I'm sure some collectors are salivating!

Greg

Thanks Greg as always a pleasure! Greg if you think there is something that I might be intrested in just shoot me a PM. Al

Outstanding photo! Any idea when that was taken? (sorry for the o/t comments guys, but I didn't start it :p )
