Bill,
That's a great question for the pin experts. Certainly the prices today for a Brooks Robinson pin are due to his popularity and the scarceness of his pins. It's not just Brooks though. The Orioles pins in general are hard to find. I actually see more Brooks pins surface than say Jerry Walker. I'm sure the popularity of the Dodgers, Giants and Yankees in the 1950's contributed to many more of those players being available today.
