Any One Collect Pins?

[71buc]

Thanks for the information, its the simple pleasures in life that are sometimes the most fun. Sanguillen arrived in the mail today. I agree based on Clemente that 72-73 would be the likely production dates. The other Pirates I'm aware of are Al Oliver, Bob Robertson, Gene Clines, and Rene Stennet. I have to believe Dock Ellis and Steve Blass were made as well. If so that would make 10 Bucs.

re: your questions...

• I call them the "black square series" due to the text box.
• unknown.
• The Giants had 12 players but we hadn't seen McCovey until just recently.
• unknown.
• unknown.
• Based on the Giants in the set, I've always thought 1972-73.
• Mine are all easel backed.

I'm not sure I knew other teams were in this series....I tend to live in my own little Giants world ...I've always liked these too and would love to see more! Sorry for my crappy picture. The Tom Bradley (lower right) isn't due to me....he is ALWAYS in heavy shadow.

just based on eBay, they don't turn up very often....altho one seller has had maybe 6 of the Giants forever. He's asking $20 ea. What have you been paying? Also, have you seen others besides Bucs, Reds and Giants?

I paid $30 for Clemente $15 for Stargell the rest were $7-10 a piece. This seller has a variety of them from different teams. I dont know how he is dating them and his prices seem a bit high.

just did an eBay search for PM-10....(the keyword brings back a lot of non-PM-10 pin backs)...two things stand out:

a) the Orioles sure have a lot of nice looking pins.

b) the Orioles sure have fallen but are hopefully on the way way back.

Here is a scan of the Tony Oliva and Harmon Killebrew buttons from this series. I don't have individual scans for them. I always thought they were from 1971-1973. I know there are two different Clemente buttons from this series. One of them is very difficult to find. I have found the Twins players from this series to be pretty difficult to find but not impossible. Some players are extremely easy and others you hardly ever see.

I would guess 1972 for the dating. Joe Morgan came to the Reds from Houston to start the '72 Season, and the font on his pin is different/larger. That would indicate a revision of some type, and 1972 would make the most sense.

If they were made in '71, Morgan would be an Astro. If they were made in '73, the Morgan Pin would look like all the rest of the Reds. That leaves 1972 as the logical choice.

Just conjecture, but that's my measly contribution.

That's good logic. I am thinking they were made for 2 or 3 years though. My logic is based on the fact that Clemente has two different buttons from this series with completely different photos. Great thread and discussion!

Your logic sounds good to me. However, I have never seen another with the same font as on the Morgan. Does anyone have an example of the other version of Clemente? I would love to see it.

I do not have a photo of the other Clemente button from this series but if I remember correctly he has a yellow jersey on. If you go to the National, there are a couple of guys who have tons of Clemente items and he had both of them at his table. The one with the yellow jersey was around $200.00 (give or take) if I remember correctly.

Lots of pins and lots of pennants for the Twins. I guess it only makes sense with Wincraft based in state.
