I'll guess that "Beat the Buc's" pin is the best of the bunch! I'll also bet you have a couple in the tin that are fairly scarce.

Yes, I think some are pretty scarce. I have no idea what they are. As far as the Beat the Bucs pins go, they do seem to be some of the better ones. I have 78 of those alone and have no idea what to do with all of them. At this point, I am selling them one at a time on Ebay but just guessing on prices to try to get rid of them. How can you tell if they are real or not? One guy is making me really nervous asking if I can "guarantee" that they are real. I still haven't answered him because I don't know what to say. Again, I am really new to all of this. I can easily play the "dumb girl" card right now.heheh

Thank you all very much for your quick help. You have made this experience very nice!

Renee--

If your auctions have nice closeup pics of both F & B like you've posted here your bidder guy should be able to tell they are real or he's not much of a pin collector!

Tell him to inspect the pics very closely & bid accordingly!

Hi Renee,
Your pins arenot repros they are all real. They are listed in some of the pin books.
The knot hole San Jose 10-20 dollars
The braves pin (has some foxing) 20-30
The colts Crossed Bats 10-25
The pirates pin (the best of the group) around 35 might be a litte more or less depending who wants it at the time.
Hope that helps you. Al

you can also show him this thread for what it is worth..... but just seeing the backs, anyone that collects pins will know. Once you list them, make sure you post up your ebay homepage so we can all take a looksee and maybe bid.
