A surprising number of bidders with pretty high e-Bay feedback.
I was prepared to win this one as it really nearly my last pinback want for my collection...

Like we talked about it can be a hard pin to find and there seems to be a bigger intrest in pins lately.... Funny I was going to tell you to put a bid of 478 on it at the end.... I would have been a little light!

Like the saying goes:
The best time to buy something that's rare, or you haven't seen before, is when you see it.

Solid advice as a collector. You're going to overpay on some things, but there are also going to be bargains along the way as well. Hopefully things average out in the long run. That's always been my philosophy...

I believe Scott that would be American Pickers 101.....

Congrats, Scott! Yes, the rare PM -10 type pins command big money.

Speaking of which, Al - did you see the rare SF Giants that came up maybe six months ago? The guy had about six and priced them all BIN $118. Three were super rare…I remember Billy Pierce and two others….those were snatched up in a hot second. I only heard about them after the fact. That seller left a bunch of money on the table.
