The two smaller boxes are from obscure online auctions and the larger box was a 50’s to 80’s collection that I’m going to cherry pick and then sell the rest.

We would all love it if you would show some photos as you’re going through the boxes. You know. Living vicariously.

Yes, pictures, please! This must be the greatest pinbacks "find" of all time!

I’m just as excited to show these finds as I hope you are to see them. My Muchinsky book is still in storage somewhere so if anyone has any insight from the book about these, I would appreciate it.

Here’s the first box.

Two beautiful 1967 St. Louis Cardinals pinbacks. Apparently their first base coach nicknamed them El Birdos and the nickname took off.

I need to do some work on the ribbon to flatten it some, but these two pinbacks are beautiful.

Here’s a link about El Birdos - https://mosportshalloffame.com/induc...uis-cardinals/

Here’s box number two, if you’re still following…

I think the photo speaks for itself…and one of the things I love is vintage rust on the back of a pinback button.

The Berra must be an early one since he’s “Larry” there, and the light, eggshell blue is beautiful!

Here is box number three from the large collection that I bought. It is very Red Sox heavy and 1970s heavy. I’m probably going to keep the large PM10 pins as well as the two crossed bat ones but much of the rest may be available if anyone sees anything interesting.
