After seeing some of these amazing pin collections I decided to display mine. Yesterday, I went to Michaels Arts and Craft store and was going to by a shadow box or frame. Their had to be 30 people in line and only two cashiers. So I walked out of the store and will go back another day.
My question, is it best to buy a shadow box and put some type of foam in the background or purchase a regular frame and squeeze them in? Some advice please. |

I purchased mine at Michaels. They have the foam backing already covered with felt.

Do they still sell those, Mike? The Michaels around here (and every other Seattle retailer) stopped carrying them. I've given up looking. The only shadowboxes they sell now have a big void (2" of air space) between the glass and the backing.
The ones where the foam filled the void between the back and the glass are now extinct. So I've had to go with less attractive Riker Cases (which I can find only on-line). |

On a related pin note, a 3.5" Willie Mays PM-10 just went for a criminally low price on ebay

pin display boxes
I just picked these two 16" X 20" cases up at Hobby Lobby. After their 1/2 price special I got them for a total of $38.00 tax included. I put my pins on the cotton front, but, if you want you can remove it and their is a cloth pin pad to put them on. I still have one more board for all my pm10 buttons that are not dodgers to buy and fill.

Looks great Shale!
When it comes to pins there are few bad answers. It's really more about function than form IMO. Cheers, Mike

Saw these on the Topps site and since I like old school buttons decided to order a set. Said that they were limited to less than 75 sets per team I ordered a full set of every team plus two Yankee sets. One I opened up and is shown here. This year they produced a number of 5x7 sets that had old school themes 67 stickers 69 posters 58 all stars. All a little tough to store and display but just cannot help myself. The buttons on the other hand should display very nicely since I have a hobby lobby down the road.

They only had pin sets for 11 teams and the Nat's were not one. I had seen that they did some retro pins earlier this year. For the 74 A's the 77 yanks the 86 Mets the 79 Pirates etc. But these were the only buttons of Current players I had ever seen offered by Topps. It would be nice if they caught on and maybe bought along a new generation of Pin/Button collectors the hobby can use all the new blood it can get.

Sure. Just got this on on ebay for 40 bucks. 1" diameter. Not super thrilling but if it's Giants, I want it!
