Hi Mike,
Great Seals pin. In all my years I haven't stumbled upon the 1 1/4" one. |

Great collection of minor league pins by everyone so far! Glad to have finally snagged my first.

Thanks Andy. I don’t think I’ve seen the 1.75 inch version before.

Screen shot from another online auction buy tonight. Haven’t seen this one before. Although it’s only from 1993, I thought it was unique being individually numbered out of 25,000.

I thought I would circle back now that I completed my Warren Spahn framed project.
This piece incorporated the following items that I have collected over the years to create something that I will enjoy all the time: My favorite action photo of Spahn that actually graced a Sports Illustrated cover in color at one point. The circa-1958 large PM10 pinback thought to have possibly only been sold at the 1958 World Series. An actual ticket stub from Warren Spahn's 2nd career no-hitter in 1961. A super tough ticket to find, IMHO. Spahn hurled this masterpiece after he turned 40. A stadium giveaway card that was given to fans that attended Spahn's 2nd no-hitter. Bonus points for someone having Spahn sign the card at some point. Very cool! Finally, artwork from artist Hollreiser, who is famous for producing "This Day in Baseball" cartoons in the NY Daily Post and others during the 1960's and 1970's. This also pertains to Spahnie's 2nd no-hitter game. Enjoy! |

Beautiful display, Scott... the quintessential photo of Spahnie and that Pin is such a tough one.
A question... In the portion below the photo, how did you adhere those items to the backing? I always wonder how to properly do this, to avoid compromising the items themselves.

Thank you! Good question. My framer uses archival techniques, but I don't honestly know. I will ask him and circle back with an answer |

Been looking at this Willie Mays pinback for a year now in an antique store, and finally got the dealer down to an acceptable price.

Checking in with my award-winning framer John, he sparingly uses wheat starch paste (likely available at Michael's), the water-soluble adhesive, that he uses to adhere paper items to an archival backing. The way he describes his method is this: Start with a small glob of wheat starch paste that he places on a separate piece of paper. Literally use the head of a needle to add a microdot of wheat starch paste to all four corners of whatever paper item you plan on attaching to the acid-free backer in the framed piece.
