Pinback Bonanza!!!

[stone193]

Hi Mike - congratulations on your pickups - beauties!

I especially like the pin with the bat charm that has the H&B logo AND reference to the Tigers - it doesn't get better than that!

Thanx for sharing.

I just finished loading these babies up. Here is the pic I took after the 1st of the year featuring my new pinback case and another just moments ago. I was just chatting with my wife about the comment she made at that time regarding the need to add more pins to the display. She likes it much better now and aren't I a nice guy for making her happy

Nice showing guys. The enthusiasm and new friendships, and friendships in general, are a large part of the hobby for me. I have had some really great times over the years partying with fellow hobbyists. I don't collect pins too much but will share a few....

I just recently picked up two very cool older pinbacks to add to my collection. Both of these came from fellow net54 members Al and Jason. Thanks to both of you!

The first frame of Tiger pins shows a most unusual design feature I can only remember seeing once or twice before. The pin with the hanging bat was designed with a reverse screening process from the one on the left. The left one is light on a dark background, while the one on the right is the same image but with dark on a light background. You have showcased them nicely by placing them side-by-side.

Mike- It was great to visit with you as always my friend. I am so glad that the pins could find a home of a collector that appreciates them and will enjoy them as much as I did over the years, and they went to a great guy to boot. Mike is correct in that my collecting focus has shifted recently, I guess I am what can be called a restless collector and adding Tigers pinbacks to my collection was just too infrequent to satisfy my lust for the pursuit. No worries Al, I just might have a few pins left that you don't have in your amazing collection, if that is possible and can never rule out the possibility of a sale or trade. This killer figural brass bookend and a little dough was part of the deal. I am thrilled to add it to my collection. Thanks Mike!! Look forward to seeing you real soon. Adam
