Found a new antique store today that I had never heard of but apparently it’s been in business for six years. This place was the antique store to end all antique stores. Bigger than anything I’ve ever been in.
So how bad do I have this newfound pinback obsession? Here’s the three big containers of Pinback Buttons that I looked through this afternoon by laying on the floor and sorting through them for over an hour. After I looked through all these, I thought I was done but spotted two smaller jars on the shelf so they’ll have to get looked at next time. I probably have about 15 or 20 new holes in my fingers from getting stabbed while sorting through all of these, but I was able to come up with a few goodies. Two ‘65 Guys chips pins, the Cubs pinback and the Luzinski. The airplane one is from a non-sports set that I picked up only because I already have another one so I thought it would be fun to collect those as well. The Reynolds ones were just throw-ins because that’s my last name so I couldn’t resist buying those two. I did not buy the Fenway one, but I just thought it was neat as it obviously has a baseball connection to it. |

Nice pickups, Jim. I have no idea what you’re paying for your finds but there’s no need to overpay. Some pinbacks can fetch thousands but others, like the Guy’s chips, are pretty common. Some eBay sellers think they can send their kids to college on such stuff but all can be found cheaply, with patience.

Boy, they sure did like to reuse that same phrasing, didn’t they!

Anyone know when this Cubs pin that I found yesterday may have been made? I’m assuming 50s-60s???

I think more like 40s-50s, but I could be wrong.

Love the tab, I see this one survived its one bend and rebend. I don't know why they don't get more love, they are SO tough to find with the tabs intact. Here's my little collection.

A few tabs of mine.

Are those all the same year, and is that a complete set? Are there players from other teams? Please tell what you know about them.

Those are cool. I've never seen those before.
