Any One Collect Pins?

Hey Al- thanks for posting that. I do have the Cepeda variations (one was a very recent purchase and did not make it into the picture). I would love to see pictures of any I am missing. I think I have seen that Davenport and McCormick both have black hat variations out there. Are there others?

here is another one if your a crazy like myself.. I was able to do a trade not long ago for it.. Blue Willie Mays with a blacked out cap logo.. Extremely rare...

Do any other teams have the blacked out hats? I can sort of understand McCormick, given that he played on a few other teams, but Davenport and McCovey were Giants though the 1960s and there does not seem to be a need to block out the team logo. If it was a licensing issue because the pins were sold at the very end of the 1960s, why is there no blacked out Mays?

There is a blacked out Mays I just posted it... As for others yes there are some dodgers yankees Roger maris comes to mind. and some others. As for the mays I believe that pin was blacked out in 1957 the year they left N Y to move to San Fran. you can almost date it to that year...
