Great stuff Greg!! The Wheeling Butternut Bread pin has got to be exceedingly rare. Love the Washington All-Star Pin with the player roster on the ribbon. Thanks for sharing! Adam

[seattlerainiers]

Here's a batch from West of the Mississippi:

[sayhey24]

Great left coast pins!

Adam -- I also really like the look of the Wheeling pin.

Here are a few more as I continue to take photos.

Those are some amazing collections!! I thought i'd post a couple for you guys that I didn't know existed until I was lucky enough to acquire them.

[batsballsbases]

Andy that is a beautiful Bob Friend!! You know who to call when you want to unload!!!!!

[andypcl]

Thanks Al! Hope all's well....

[sayhey24]

Love the Pafko Andy!!!

I collect all things related to the 1971 Bucs. Although I have many other pinbacks these for obvious reasons are my favorites.

[andypcl]

Hi Greg,
Kind of a weird color scheme but I like the bright pink. I found this one in a group of other basically worthless pins. I guess you never know where the good ones will turn up.

All those Pirate pinbacks look great! Of course, you really should have the Orioles pinbacks in there, displayed together, since they are forever connected in the '71 Series.

By the way...don't even start collecting the '79 Bucs; I really don't like to think about two Series losses.

[ooo-ribay]

Question for 71buc Mike: were all those guys with their names in the black boxes also on the 1972 team? I ask because I had dated my same Giants pins to 1972, based on who was featured.

[sayhey24]

Andy -- didn't realize it's pink, I thought it was just the shading of the photo.

Nics Bucs pins Mike -- I like collections with focus, something I am sorely lacking.

Yes they were also on the 72 team. I believe they were produced between 70-73 the black helmet Stargell is wearing was worn in 1970.

I love the Clemente with the close up of his head. You don't see that one every day. Great collection!

[71buc]

Thanks, perhaps I am limited by geography here on the left coast, but the one in my collection is the only one I have seen on eBay or elsewhere. I have never been to the National so it may be more common than I am aware.

I have seen it at the national a couple of times but know it is a hard one to find.

[sayhey24]

Here are what I think are the final pin back photos, unless I pick up some more soon (hint, hint).
I'm finally setting up at a show soon, and the last couple of photos with the green felt background are the ones I'll be taking with me.

[CarltonHendricks]

Just got this on eBay....for $17.00 I couldn't pass it up...as I have a few other America's Cup things to go with it...The listing didn't mention anything about it being in the America's Cup...probably why I got it so cheap...

The Reliance was owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt III of the Untied States and in 1903 it defeated the Shamrock III...owned by Sir Thomas Lipton...the tea guy...of England...

[mjkm90]

That is a terrific pin Carlton!!! Thanks for sharing

Hey thanks Mike...I could get into these pins...I guess Whitehead & Hoag Co. was the biggest producer of them...So I like that this Reliance one provides an example of a non Whitehead & Hoag...Below an interesting reference to it's production out of a trade journal...

Carlton--

The only thing better than your pickups is the research that goes along with them!

All mine, I was to lazy to take a new pic so I used the original Ebay pic.

[kdixon]

Zach Wheat's Hall of Fame Induction pin. Sorry pictures aren't very good.

Incredible piece, those are so rare! I've been looking for the Senators pin for many years.

[D. Broughman]

Tiger Homemade Pin

[mjkm90]

That certainly is "unique" D

[D. Broughman]

Thanks Mike one of a kind

[MK]

I'm curious about the pins below. They have the design of the crossed bats pins, but only have the team name in the center. Besides these two, I have seen the Detroit Tigers, Indians, and St Louis Cardinals. They are not very common and I was wondering if pin collectors out there have seen other teams? Surely the Yankees have one. Possibly the Red Sox, Cubs, Braves?

[sayhey24]

One of my favorite pieces -- a giant store display pin back advertising the Kolb's Bread 1923 Reading set.

Greg

[bobfreedman]

If anyone has a 1916 Dodgers World Series pin and would like to sell it, please get in touch with me, thanks

Greg

That is an incredible pin!! What size is it? Did any of the Reading guys go on to major league stardom?

[mjkm90]

Greg I was waiting for you to share that pin. It is simply amazing and PERFECT for your collection.

Hi Mike,
I to have seen what you have seen. They dont come up that often and are harder to find. I also know the Dodgers one comes in 2 colors. Here is the blue version I have...

Thanks Al. Another mystery regarding pins. The search will never end!

[sayhey24]

Thanks Rob and Mike -- the Kolb's piece is eight inches across.

While about half the players went on to the Majors, there were no big names.

[sayhey24]

Here's one more --

Mike I had been looking for the Red Sox Quartette pin for years -- I already had the original photo it was made from, and yes I was able to buy the example in the Mastro collection auction.

Greg

[bobfreedman]

not in the best of condition but it is big (6" round I think)

[kdixon]

Thanks Justin.

[ooo-ribay]

Finally found one. 2.5" across.

[sayhey24]

That is a beauty Rob, and talk about unique!

Greg

[batsballsbases]

Finally added one of these to my dimensonial research 3ds. I had never seen the pirates one before. Here are a few of the others I have...
