Is there a definitive guide for collecting pins and pennants? I really don't want to start collecting either collectible but the items shown on the board are inspiring!
Hey Dean -

For pennants: https://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Penna.../dp/0557080053

The author is a Net54 member (lefty147, I believe) and there is a second edition as well. I hate to speak for Mike but he might still be selling the guides for about half of that amazon price.

For pins: Baseball Pinback Buttons by Paul Muchinsky. A beautiful, full color, 600 page hardback. It's out of print and I think nearly impossible to find.
