Montreal royals jackie Robinson pin. Real?
 

Hey,

Thinking of adding this pin to my jackie collection but the buyer only us 4 feedback. Id love some advice as to whether this looks authentic or not if possible. Thanks so much!

This too

Authentic, and a rare one in that condition (without the foxing/staining).

Definitely one of the tougher variations.

, that is the top 2 Jackie Robinson pins you could own .go for it

Here are mine. York missing the bat and the ball. Mine is in near mint cond.

Thanks a lot for the help guys.

He's asking for $350. Is that a fair price?

Looks like it sold. Did u pick it up?

I think in the pin book it lists for 1200

Na I missed it. I'm pissed. Guess I'll Keep waiting.

Neat ball and bat on that one but the pin isn't quite as nice.

I saw that one but it's not as nice :( alll beat up.

I don't have any knowledge about this particular pinback, but I don't advise using Muchinsky's book (which I'm assuming is the one you're referring to) as an accurate price guide. Great photos and it's a good reference to see what's out there but, while some prices may reflect the actual market, I think most do not and many are way off (as in generally listed as much higher than reality). That said, it may well be that the prices listed are an accurate guide as to relative scarcity and desirability, but not actual market value.

I understand scarcity and player value, but that is a pretty unattractive pin in any condition.

In the future you may want to be careful about advertising the ebay auctions you are interested in. Someone may have snatched it from you because you brought it to their attention.

How true..
