Greg,
That printers proof paper looks intresting. I have the smaller johnson pin and put them here side by side. The large johnson has no back paper and from the few that I know are out there the others dont either. My second one had no paper also. I do know of one that came with a very nice ribbon also . The smaller Johnson has a back paper and says James Spencer & Company Badges Buttons. 22 N. sixth st Philadelphia. This might help you on the printers proof paper. Does it say who was the maker of any of the pins anywhere on the paper? Nice intresting item thanks for sharing!!! Last edited by batsballsbases; 04-12-2016 at 10:17 AM.

Wow.... speechless after seeing those. Looks like your friend is a condition freak as well. I don't see any rust, foxing, frayed ribbons, etc.
Makes me wish that I pursued Pinbacks harder, back in the day! That 1934 Tigers Pin with the Figural Tiger is simply awesome. Is that a one-of-a-kind, or do those actually turn up every now and then? Would love to see some close-ups if at all possible. Thanks, Al, for posting that amazing collection! Last edited by perezfan; 02-25-2010 at 12:09 PM.

Great stuff Al -- any chance of seeing a closup of the bottom right corner of the first display case you showed -- I can't tell what the second pin in from the bottom right is (just to the left and below the Connie Mack pin with ribbon) -- it's a portrait of someone.
The displays themselves are very impressive -- I have my pins spread out all over my baseball room -- i think there's something a little more stunning when you group them all together like that. I've always wondered why pins aren't more popular -- take the Walter Johnson pins that Al showed before, or the amazing pins we've seen in a few photos now of Maranville and Hornsby. How many T206 Johnson cards exist compared to those Johnson pins (there must be thousands more cards). You could make the same comparison between the Maranville Cracker Jack card and those two pinbacks, and Hornsby Goudey compared to his pinbacks. Plus the pins just look really cool! Greg

Memorabilia is still so under-rated when compared to cards. There was a thread on the other (card) side of the board, in which a few people were actually comparing the rarity and desirability of a Ty Cobb Game-used Bat to his T206 Card. They also commented that a Cobb game-used bat carries little to no historical significance. I guess they think a small cardboard picture of Cobb is more significant than a Bat that he actually wielded.
I know this is way off-topic, but the number of Cobb T206 cards outnumbers his game-used bats by at least 100 - 1. Same can be said for so many other facets of baseball memorabilia, including these magnificent Pins. Thanks for posting the close-ups... salivating even more now!

My VERY meager contribution.
To add: Al, your friends collection of P2s, et. al. might be my favorite display piece I have seen on Net54 in a LOOOOONG while. Nothing better than a good pinback thread! Best, Last edited by CobbvLajoie1910; 02-25-2010 at 05:25 PM.

Thanks Guys yes its a very impressive collection. Greg the pin is a boston celtics junior booster pin. I cant read the name (gets to distorted when I blow it up.) But I think its Bob Cousey. I will try and get my friend to send me some more closeups. But I can tell you that Its a very strong condition collection. He was very happy that I put the pics up for all to see.
