Yankee Stadium
About four years in the making, but I picked up the turnstile last night to complete this grouping.

Wonderful! At this rate, you'll soon be acquiring old ball parks to go with all the original fixtures, uniforms, and equipment.

Tiny little pickup I couldn't resist
1887 Billboard fundraiser for the Gardiner (Maine) Baseball Club.
Apparently, it is a sin to laminate original documents, but I got this billboard ad and it was literally disintegrating as I opened the mail. Besides, it was cheap, and I plan to frame it, not sell it. I wonder if this is the only one in existence? |

Pin Values
I have not seen the guide, so that colors this comment. I do know that after looking selectively for certain pins in the past few years, the value or prices I have paid for ones with ribbons and the like are consistently higher for those examples without. Might it be that a better way to describe this (once again, have not seen the guide), is that the guide values do not reflect or depend on the presence of ribbons, gloves, bats etc, and that the values expressed are for the pin back buttons themselves.

Although I have no room, I really want a Candlestick turnstile. They auctioned some off awhile back but I spaced out the closing date.

An upgrade of the one I already had. It seems the 1960s were the golden age of dated World Series ribbons. Unfortunately, the Giants only went to one. And, although Paul Muchinsky said ribbons and dangles do not affect value, I love the trophy! First I’ve seen.

Cool pin, I happen to like the added bling. All of the 1971 Pirates Post season pin backs had ribbons and dangles relating them directly to the playoffs or World Series. The Pin backs themselves are non-descriptive and have no text related to the series or the playoffs. 1970s Pirates pin backs aren't exactly rare or expensive but they certainly are cheaper without the post season ribbons and dangles.

Very nice pin Rob. Do you find it difficult to collect Giants stuff for years where they lost the world series? I have trouble wanting something from any year the Yankees lost, 2001 especially. But maybe that's just me.

When you've seen enough over the years, you know which charms are original to which Pin. Most people simply prefer the more aesthetically pleasing version. Last edited by perezfan; 12-19-2017 at 12:15 PM. |

Great pick up Rob. Have never seen this with the trophy. Probably one vendor had the trophies and decided to add them to stand out. I found it interesting in Paul's book that he said ribbons or charms on a pinback did not add value, yet this particular Giants pin is valued at $35 in the crossed bat section, and $1000 in the World Series section with the added ribbon. I actually asked him about this one time and his answer was long and confusing. I decided to drop it and move on.

Really happy to end the year with this. Signed in 1928 as WJ was manager at Newark...the ball is correct Spalding ONL/International League.
