Hi all,
My first post here (hope it's in the right place) to say hello to everyone and see how many folks out there follow and/or collect sports press pins. Steve Kennedy aka Mr. 1939 Baseball, encouraged me to join and post as he says there are many friendly insightful folks here willing to share and exchange knowledge about the things we love to collect. One of mine is sports-related press pins. If you are a fan or collector of them, you must know by now that there is a relative dearth of information out there about them and what there is can sometimes be contradictory, confusing, incomplete, or all of the above. I'm looking to network with people who can help put the pieces of the puzzle together and have some fun along the way. The bulk of my collection is baseball (World Series, All Star, HOF, special event, etc.) going back to the '30's, but I also have Super Bowl, Final Four and a smattering of others. I do have an article from a 1988 SCD by Jim Johnston that does go through the (baseball) press pins year by year with pictures (fronts only, no backs) that is quite informative but is the only real guide I've ever seen. I'm happy to share it here and someone currently has it for sale for $10 on ebay. So that's my story, I'm hoping to hear from some of you and we can figure this out together. Take care and be well!
