Any One Collect Pins?

[ooo-ribay]

I just found my holy grail.

I don't have it in hand but it appears the paper and/or celluoid are a bit "wrinkled.' Has anyone ever heared a pin with a hairdryer to "relax" it?

You were very lucky that I decided to leave that one alone... And dont use the hair dryer on it it will ruin it. That coating on those is very thin!

You won't be that thrilled. It has a condition issue....but it completes (I hope!) a set and I've been looking for it for 20+ years!

The wrinkles are not as bad as they looked in the ebay listing.

Congrats Rob, pin looks great! What year are those? Looks like 69-71 time frame.

Rob -- Glad you were able to find it an add it to your collection. It's always fun looking at the photos you post of your pinbacks.

Thanks, Clint. These pins are possibly as early as 1967 and probably were made as late as 1972. I'm not sure anyone knows the exact dates of production. Paul Muchinsky and I kicked around some theories but never came up with anything definite. They are marked as made in Winona, MN (Wincraft) but are not dated.

Thought they might have a specific year. That MLB logo wasn't designed until 1968. I know they used it on uniforms in 1969. Were there other teams in this series? The Players association logo was designed in 1968 as well.

Not all have the MLB and MLBPA logos. Besides the ones pictured here and the Henderson, I also have a McCovey w/o logos. To the best of my knowledge, I now have ALL the Giants pins in this series (I hope!). I don't know of other teams with pins of this same design. Other teams (Twins and d**gers come to mind) had large team buttons like the Killebrews shown.

Ahh, got you Rob. That does make a difference.

Rob,

Congrats on the pin! I know it's nice picking up something that's been on the want list for years.

I know this is our baseball forum but have asked the question on the football forum with no response. Does anyone know is there is a similar PM10 football list? I have an older Tennessee pin with ribbon with a ribbon and football attached and wonder if this was just something someone put out or if there is a listing for it? Thanks and, again, pardon the intrusion.

I run across a Mel Hein NY Giants FOOTBALL PM -10 all the time when I am doing my Giants baseball searches. I'm pretty sure there must be others.

Also, Jim, I suggest you contact board member "weedene." At most times, he has a couple thousand pins on ebay, under his seller name of "seaweed."

Rob,

Thanks. Over the years I have bought a lot from him so will do that. I hadn't thought of that.
