One of the greatest pins ever made! Thanks for sharing again Al. And I too miss Mike H on here.

Another re-discovery during the quarantine lock-down. 1990 Giants pins along with gas station "header" card promoting the pins and commemorating Dave Dravecky's amazing comeback. The two pins shown are "I've got a Giant Attitude" and "The Miracle - Dravecky". Not certain how many pins were in the promotion.

I also posted this in the advertising signs thread, but since it's "pin" related, I'll add it here as well. Another Union Oil window display for Dodger's 100th anniversary Pin give-away. I also had the opportunity to have several Dodger's sign next to pins most closely associated with their tenure. Sadly, there's a fading Sandy Koufax between the two lower left pins. Should have brought a new sharpie. The reverse has a Wes Parker signature. Not sure why I had him sign it there.

Wonderful piece!

Thanks Hank. I had forgotten I had it since there are very few Southern California shows anymore and no opportunity to get signatures. I can't even remember getting players like John Roseboro, Pee Wee and Erskine to sign it. But glad I did.

I know the 1978-198? numbered pins have virtually no respect and the later ones are very cheaply made, but many of them are incredibly rare and impossible to find. Being a Cubs collector, ever since learning of the existence of this 1982-83 Fergie Jenkins numbered pin five years ago or so I have kept an eye out for it but no luck. Recently a seller on eBay put up his Cubs pin collection that he got from Wrigley Field vendors as a kid in the early 80's for a hefty price, I offered him a ridiculous sum for just the Jenkins pin and thankfully he accepted.
