Mike these are great wow

Dang! You got me all excited, Mike. I thought maybe a big pinback show was coming up somewhere.

My Holy Grail continues to be a 3.5" orange border Ken Henderson SF Gints pin...

Hi Mike,
Just for you! I believe there are 4-5 known protection against loss wagners I now own 2! Oh and a nice Frank Chance w/s pin....

That Frank Chance is just "too cool for school".

Great stuff, Mike and Al!

Thanks Octavio!:D

Al, that Chance is in the top ten Greatest pins discussion in my humble opinion��⚾️����

Sorry. Posted by mistake.

Pinbacks of no-hit pitchers
 

Great stuff guys!
Here is some of my pinback collection which is completely dedicated to pitchers that threw a no-hitter. Many are vintage and a few are modern...

Mike, Mark,Scott love all the pins! Mike I have always loved that you collect cubs white sox and tigers pins a great collection. Scott you and the pitchers have been have been incredible as to what you have come across. Wow I still see a few of the pins you bought from me with the Feller how to pitch pin still in the plastic snap box with the tape on it just as I sent it to you what about 6-7 years ago?:D:D Love it.

Mike here is one that I think you have to get to fill in a tigers PM10. Yes thats right a tigers PM10. One of the ones the late Dr Paul and I had a big arguement with but if you do look close at the pin (Paul has it listed in the red sox section) you will see that George Kell has a tigers cap and tigers uniform on. NOT boston red sox. So yes in my opinion there is a PM10 tigers player pin!!:eek:
Mark here are a few more that I like the best

Holy catfish Al I have wondered why there wasn't a Tiger represented on a pm10:eek:

I really need the Santo pm10, but I'll add Kell to the list! Nice detective work Pal and thanks for posting your AMAZING pins!

Glad to help Mike! That is why I like pin collecting there are still ones out there that need finding! As YOU know I usually dont share info that much anymore but you and I go back a long way my friend!;);) Consider that one a gift!!:D:D

Hey Al, that 1910 Frank Chance would look great in my collection! :)

Great stuff Al!

Here's one I just picked up, haven't seen one like it before.

Greg

Mike K yes it would wouldnt it!;);) Great cubs pins Mike..
Greg love to see some more of your pins. I have seen those pins before if you get a chance I would love to see a picture of the back!

Not super exciting, but I just picked up the Cepeda on the left. The font and proportion of the head shot are slightly different than the other.

Terrific display Justin:). Excellent blend of items and pins.

Since this is a pinback thread I'll post this pickup from eBay last night here and the November pickups:D

I haven't had an opportunity to add to my Tigers collection in quite a while.

Some of my non-Cubs pins.

You have an amazing collection Mike! Your Cubs collection is fantastic, but it's great to see another "generalist" display:D

It's NOT ok to show only "some" of your non-Cubs collection! Give it up Pal!

Anyone have the pinback from Forbes Field opening day? I have seen a few over the years but have only ever seen one that was still on its original paper. Can't believe I missed out on that.

Tom C

OK, here are a few more.

Thanks Mike. A lot of my stuff is in storage right now. I'll try to post another pic when I dig stuff out.

Awesome. For just some "non-Cubs" pins, I think you have my whole wantlist covered!

More Pinback Buttons
 

Here are some of mine updated with new ones added.

GR Chicks...
 

One of my favorites, ...but I love that Chance and pair of Wagners!!

Great stuff, Justin. The Brooklyn guy to our left of the large Koufax PM10? Was that meant to go into a shirt pocket? I've never seen something like that before.

I always thought of it as a paperclip, but I think you're right. It probably was meant for a shirt pocket. Here's a closer pic...

It's very cool. Remember, back in the day, guys wore collared shirts and/or jackets to games!

A little bit of yankee love!

A lot of really hard to find Yankee pins there Al, but that Old Timers Day pin just never shows up.

Mike yes that pin is very hard to find!. Here is one I also have that I saw you have a very hard dodger pin. But all I have seen have the dark Bum on the right. The one I was able to get has a red bum on the front. I know its good as the union logo is stamped on the back!

Another interesting variation. The very rare "Shaving Permit" pin is red, but I've never seen either come in two colors. Got to love pins!

Mike yes the shaving permit bum is just like this one red. And yes Pauls was the only one of that pin I also have ever seen.

Before my time. :)

Man, you guys are killing me with these bum pins. I've been trying to pick one up for a long time, but no luck so far.

Justin,
Those bum pins are like hens teeth!;) And will cost a ton.. I to like your pocket clip pin.. I never saw that one either. Like mike said gotta love pins..

I don't go out of my way to collect pinbacks, but I do have a few.

Fantastic, Al! I've never seen the one with Skowron.

nice dan! 1 or 1000 a nice pinback is a nice pinback!:D

thanks rob . I believe that is one of the top 5 hardest yankee pins to get...

I don't have many pins, but this is a great thread. Thanks to everyone for sharing. Very cool.

Great thread.

Al, Here's the back of the Rowell pin.

Greg

Here's my Washington pins, pre-1960 and expansion eras.

Thanks Greg I dont think that pin is from the era. The back is just to new . Looks made up at a much later date. 1980s 90s? Rowell played for Boston from 39-47 then was at the phillies in 48. So to be correct that pin had to be made from 39-47 and in my opinion the aging just doesnt match the time frame.. Just my opinion my friend... Your thoughts?

Since it's still technically fall and I finally took some new photos -- I'll get this thread going again. Most of these are as they are displayed on my shelves.

Greg

And a few more --

Greg

Wow, Greg! Terrific pinback collection. :)

I love the Luke Appling in the original presentation folder!! Can't be many of those to be found.

Hi Rob,

I think I've seen one other Appling pin in the original folder.

I also have the pennant from that day with the original pin still clipped to it. You see can parts of it on the glass shelf below other pins in a couple of the last photos. It's a white pennant with red letters that say "C'mon Luke"


Greg

So glad you made a pinback appearance Greg:D
