Those Buster Browns are my favorite pinbacks. And that one looks to be in great shape. Congrats.

Won this last night in Mears Auction.

Was able to pick up a few new lineup cards. These were found in an old barn in Virginia. It looks like a kid tried writing the names of the players on some of these. Somehow he confused "Williams, LF" for the Red Sox. At 38 years old Williams batted .388 and finished 2nd in the MVP race to some guy named Mantle.

Really excited to find 2 new HOF managers in Lopez and Boudreau (brings my total up to 15 different HOF'ers), along with the cool Red Sox card and a nice Orioles line-up card.

I don't collect pins or pennants but the pieces shared here are awesome. What year on the Buster Brown pin? At first glance, I saw the Morton's and thought salt. Neat stuff.

Al,

Thanks for the information. Where the pins distributed with each purchase of shoes or an in-store freebie? I did a search on Buster Brown pins and baseball and the results returned a ton of Buster Brown pins, which was neat, since I was unaware that such an item existed, but I did not see any pins with baseball players depicted.

Is there a definitive guide for collecting pins and pennants? I really don't want to start collecting either collectible but the items shown on the board are inspiring!

My favorite recent pickup. A FRENCH magazine of all things.

Hey Tom,
Great pick ups!
The French magazine is killer! Is it dated? What are the dimensions?

Thanks. I likely paid too much for it but also do not know if I would ever see another one.

It is very large. About 10x14 inches.

Hey Dean -

For pennants: https://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Penna.../dp/0557080053

The author is a Net54 member (lefty147, I believe) and there is a second edition as well. I hate to speak for Mike but he might still be selling the guides for about half of that amazon price.

For pins: Baseball Pinback Buttons by Paul Muchinsky. A beautiful, full color, 600 page hardback. It's out of print and I think nearly impossible to find.

I've been looking for that pinback book for a bit now and have not been able to find a copy. Good luck finding one.
