Complete set, yes. 1958. These pins were included in packs of Armour hot dogs sold in the Bay Area. I don’t believe player pins were done for any other teams. I think the similarly shaped team pins, like Mike’s, were most probably stamped by the same manufacturer but I don’t know how they were distributed. Do you know, Mike?

I don�t know. Hakes Guide lists them as Issuer Unknown, for both the early issued set (40�s-50�s) and the one from the 60�s.

Thanks. Great information on some really cool collectibles.

I don't want to turn this into the tab thread, but here's something else I noticed. Whether they be Giants players or team fan pins, there are only three shapes - round, diamond and rectangular. The round and rectangular may look a bit different because of how they are printed, but the shapes are identical. Another note - some believe the Giant Fan was distributed by Armour Meats, like the player pins, but I don't think so. It seems to me, the pin would be black, orange and white if that were the case. So, again, my theory is one "stamper"; different distributors.

P.S. the larger, round tabs are obviously a different maker.

P.P.S. Mike, why does the Yankee have an "M" on his hat?

He doesn�t have a �M�. It�s a �N� with a �Y� under it. As in New York.
