Don't know if anyone here is into pins from other sports or subjects, but I have quite a few boxing pins available for sale/trade and am looking for some others, like Marciano. I have the following available:
Boxing Archie Moore: with mini boxing gloves attached Jake La Motta Marcel Cerdan Sugar Ray Robinson Randy Turpin Mike Tyson James Toney v. Roy Jones Jr. Tami Mauriello Jersey Joe Walcott (2 diff, one with ribbon] Ingemar Johansson Bob Montgomery Henry Armstrong Larry Holmes Others --1950s Harlem Globetrotters: nice figure of unidentified ballplayer twirling a ball on his left index finger and carrying a suitcase --I also have several Peter Max designed pins from the movie Paint Your Wagon. --1970s Montreal Canadians logo

would anyone really walk around with this kind of weight hanging off a PM-10? How about the ones with a 6" bowie knife attached?

Generally, I don't love the attachments but the glove w/NY Giants was the only reason I got this duplicate Antonelli.

Until today, I never saw a pinback with a knife attached. Very nice Mantle pin, BTW.
Another attachment I think is odd because it has nothing to do with baseball is this rabbits foot hanging from a Babe Ruth pinback. I think these were made in the 1940's and my imagination conjures up the theory that once the public knew he had cancer, these were made as a way for fans to "wish him luck". On the other hand, the black and purple ribbon lead me to think these were sold soon after his death, in which case, my first theory doesn't make sense  I also have one with red and blue ribbons, also with a rabbits foot. BTW, I've been hoping to see some World Series and All-Star game press pins in this thread. I had a bunch of them years ago, but the vintage ones are gone now :-(. I have a few recent Yankees WS and 2008 All-Star and just one or two others. One of these days I hope to start a run of Yankees WS press pins. I'm sure many of you guys have nice press pins collections. I would love to see some of them! Last edited by YankeeFan; 02-26-2014 at 11:14 PM. Reason: Added comment about Press Pins

always found it odd and I agree that they were probably trying to give him luck in his fight of cancer. Believe it or not that knife is very sharp and pretty well made. A kid using it in the wrong way could cause alot of damage with it!

Rob,
I believe the attachments to pinbacks were done to make them more attractive to kids, especially boys. I remember vendors at ballparks with boards filled with pins with attachments. I admit as a 10 year old boy, a pin with a knife attached was pretty neat. Now of course this would never be allowed. Of course when I went to high school we had a rifle club where the boys brought their firearms to school. I don't know about the rest of you, but part of the reason I collect is to remember the good old days. They are sadly gone forever. Last edited by MK; 02-26-2014 at 04:22 PM.

I was going to ask if other teams had these Armour (hot dog) Tab Pins...I did a quick google and found this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Early-1960s-...-/220813464547 Good lord! If that was the SF logo, I'd be on it like a fly on you-now-what! Anybody got any more???

Here are some good 1958-59 pinbacks. All are 3.5". Notice Willie's hat logo is that of the SF Seals. It is believed the little mitt is covering "1958" so that those buttons could be sold again the next year.

I don't really collect pins although I have a number of them I picked up at ballparks as a kid. I had been looking for these two on eBay for quite some time. I had always wanted examples of both to display with my 1971 post season press passes and ticket stubs. Just when I had about given up they both were listed within weeks of each other. I have no idea why I had such difficulty finding these. Does anyone know if they made a larger version of World series pin?

I found this 1 1/4" 'poke your eye out' style pin over the weekend:
 Union imprint in the metal inside the button. I was trying to get some idea of age and value on it but can't seem to find anything. It is not the 3 1/2" version. Anyone help?

I just picked up a Giants 1982 stadium giveaway calendar. It was a year I was missing. One thing I liked was that they actually showed some decent pins in it. Usually, when the Marketing Dept. needs some "memorabilia", they just include whatever crap they can readily find.
