[Bumpus Jones]

Did anyone here pick up either of these? If so, I might be interested in purchasing one or both...

Thanks

I don't know who got them but it appears someone got a nice deal on both in my opinion.

Hey Chris - I was "watching" the mirror, but got turned off by the water damage. Never ended up bidding, just watched.

Chris: You can contact the winner of the Cincinnati Reds Baseball Pinback button STENZEL'S ROOTERS through his ebay page:

If anyone knows what the value is for this item, Bryan would know. Just my opinion.

He does list items at high prices though and he always has some rare items.

Very desirable piece, but the mark-up is way too high, IMO. I think he will sit on this one indefinitely, unless he gets the price under $500 for this one. It's a rusty/dirty/bottom-tier example, which would grade "Fair" at best. Just my opinion.

Here is how it should look...

To piggyback on what Joe and Leon said, Bryan is a great guy and one of the very few in those hobby that I trust. I have done a fair amount of business with him and I am always of the belief that the owner of an item can charge whatever they wan for an item. FWIW, Bryan doesn't generally keep anything too long, that's usually my MO. Jason

Hmmmm... So $750 is a good price for that item, in that condition... Got it.

I guess someone should snap it up fast, as (according to the consensus) it won't last long at that price.

Obviously I stand corrected, and will be looking for it in Ebay's "Completed Auctions" section

Thanks

I just came across your post. I won the "pin". I use quotes because it's really not a pin. The back is more like a cuff link or button you put on through a button hole. I'll post a picture when I get a chance. I'm not interested in selling but I would welcome any background anyone has to offer. There is no reason to believe it has anything to do with Stenzel's Rooters that I can see. The seller told me she just assumed it was because it was with a Stenzel's pin.

[Dave4Reds]

Sorry for the blurred pictures. Appreciate thoughts on what this was actually used for. Thanks.

Weren't these made to insert into button-holes, for decorative purposes? That's how I believe they were worn/displayed.

[Dave4Reds]

That's what it looks like, but I haven't seen another.

I will speak up for my hobby friend Bryan Dec, who has the item up for sale now. He is a great guy to deal with and will negotiate on most items. I have done a ton of deals with him and have always been happy. And I am forever indebted to him as he gave me about a 50 mile ride to the airport from one of the Oaks shows. He is who I bought my T205 Cobb from too.
