Paul,
I would say its not that far out of line for the 3. Reach american league ball pin 25-35. It pays to play might be the pin that pushed it up a little as I havnt seen that advertiser on the bottom before 50-90 if you really wanted it. And the other is really just a generic pin10-15 .Al

The last one isn't really generic...it has a "Chevrolet" emblem on the bottom possibly giving it a Detroit link. Not sure what exactly drove the price, but it could be just a case of two guys wanting one or more of those pinbacks badly.

Dan,
To me those types of pins are generic even thou it says chevrolet. Champions? of what minor league? babe ruth? major league? what year? 20s/ 30s/ 40s/ 50s/ Plus it looks like its a tin litho pin. (kinda cheap) Thats why I call it generic:D
