Found a new antique store today that I had never heard of but apparently it’s been in business for six years. This place was the antique store to end all antique stores. Bigger than anything I’ve ever been in.
So how bad do I have this newfound pinback obsession? Here’s the three big containers of Pinback Buttons that I looked through this afternoon by laying on the floor and sorting through them for over an hour. After I looked through all these, I thought I was done but spotted two smaller jars on the shelf so they’ll have to get looked at next time. I probably have about 15 or 20 new holes in my fingers from getting stabbed while sorting through all of these, but I was able to come up with a few goodies.
Two ‘65 Guys chips pins, the Cubs pinback and the Luzinski.
The airplane one is from a non-sports set that I picked up only because I already have another one so I thought it would be fun to collect those as well. The Reynolds ones were just throw-ins because that’s my last name so I couldn’t resist buying those two.
I did not buy the Fenway one, but I just thought it was neat as it obviously has a baseball connection to it.
