Pin Display and Storage
Posted By: David Keller
I appreciate all the recent threads on pins. I have been collecting Cincinnati Reds pinbacks and lapel-style pins for almost twenty years now and have about 500 different one. Which leads me to my question, I was wondering how the collectors on this site display and store their pins. I'm familiar with the basic frame cases used, but wanted to know other methods, especially when storing them. Please post if you have photos. Thanks |

Mine are all in a glass top table. You could get a couple of these and fit a lot of pins. This one measures 18" x 23". I like this method because the tables are also functional, the pins can be displayed with other items, and it's easy to change things up. The lid is hinged and the storage area has glass sides about 5" high. |

Mike - thanks for the picture. I loved the pins displayed with the other memorabilia. Any other ideas out there? I am also very interested in how you store pins, especially the ones too big to fit in coin holders. |

My meager pin collection is just in a display case along with other period Red Sox pieces, as well as one mounted with a pennant. I know this isn't what you had in mind, but I don't have many pins to show . |

I think it's time to pear down and upgrade my pinbacks. When I initially became interested in them, I made a number of impulse purchases of unspectacular pins that I simply didn't have. I think I'll have an ebay sale soon. That being said, the number of interesting pins on ebay seem to be diminishing. Anyone else agree? |

I don't search the pinback section of ebay anymore so I haven't really noticed, but I know I've gotten some nice pinbacks of interest to me by doing other searches. Ebay seems to be a buyers market right now IMO as I've noticed items going for much less than they used to. |

Mike, since I've been collecting there are usually very few "interesting" pinbacks on E-Bay. I would describe "interesting" as meaning stand-alone pinbacks which are not part of a set (i.e., Sherlock's, Sweet Caporal, etc.), not PM-10's, and are valued at over $100. |
