Thought I would share!

There is a Al Kaline 1968-69 Detroit Tigers Iron-On Transfer promo pin that matches my Ron Santo 1969 Chicago Cubs Iron-On Transfer promo pin in the upper left corner, I didn't know the Kaline existed.

Funny Cliff I knew there was a Kaline transfer pin but never knew there was a Ron Santo transfer until you posted that pin awhile ago, I think in this thread somewhere. By the way the Kaline is listed in Pauls book....

Thanks for the compliments, Gents.

Give me a month or 2 on the other 2x - I've been staring at an office floor of pinbacks for the better part of quarantine

The hobby is about people.

I was lucky to have a couple of really kind & helpful collectors show me the ropes when I first started collecting pins 15-or-so years ago. I remember seeing Mike Hoevet's glass coffee table of pins/celluloids and thinking "THAT is what I want in my office". I was lucky enough to be able to tell him that prior to his passing (RIP). Collections inspire; thus - why I shared a meager photo of mine.

I've frequented this board (inc pre-net54) for close to 20-years. Thanks All for sharing your stuff. A lot of my drive to keep searching was fueled by many of the pieces/conversations/etc. you all have enriched me with.

Thanks + cheers!

PS. Al, that Haddix of yours would look awfully nice hidden amongst there, no? If you ever sell, FYI - I should've kept it

Wow Aaron I forgot all about that! That was a long time ago! By the way I still have it in the collection! If I remember I think it cost me a pretty penny! But hay its only money!

I miss Mike...

The Memorabilia forum has never been quite the same since he left us.

Mark I totally agree! Was a very good man...

Mark just for you a little tribute to our friend Mike, and a little push for the pin section. Mike was a big Cubs fan and always loved this piece I have! Enjoy Mike!

perezfan · #8 06-24-2020, 10:41 AM

Yeah... I do remember how much he loved that one. Maybe he finally reeled one in, wherever he is now (see attached sign below!)
