Really cool pinback collection, Chris!
Thanks for sharing! :cool:

Great collection and display Chris.

I tend to be obsessive. Today I finally obtained the last pin on the right. There were three different banners. Each banner came with a small and large pin-back The white banner version is the toughest. The smaller white was the final one I needed. It took me 6 years to find it. The World Series Vendors wore one as well with the added words congratulations Pirates and ZUM Zum. This one is the only one I’ve ever seen.

Nice addition, Mike! Congrats! :D

Damn, Mike! Impressive! I’ve seen ONE 1971 NL West Champions ribbon on ONE size (1.75”) Giants pin and, no, I don’t own it. :mad:

edit: then again, I guess Bob Robertson ruined the Giants’ chances to have more than one ribbon. :mad:

Thanks Scott and Rob! Rob The Mount Savage Strong Boy did his damage in that series for sure. I wish you hadn’t mentioned that Giants pinback and ribbon. I have the Orioles version and now I’m going to be looking for that damn Giant pinback.

Hey all!

Had a guy I’ve purchased cards from (online never met in person, but all the cards he had sent have been great), showed me this pin.

He said someone had told him it seems to be a cut out portion of a goudey Ruth and stuck in a homemade pin.

Do you all have an opinion on if this looks like it could have been a legit card? The “dots” almost seem too prominent to be a card?

To me, the “dots” make it look like fabric. I have no idea if a cut up Goudey has any value but, again to me, that pin’s value would be very minimal.

Trying to put some new blood back in the pin section! Lets post up some nice ones. Picked up the pin on the left to compliment my one on the right. I believe it was issued for the 1907 or 1908 world series..... Hughie Jennings was the manager.... Very hard to find and was glad to get it...

The only pin in my collection. 1934 Babe Ruth Quaker Oats.
