I've lost my mind!! I bought a PIN

I told myself if I ever bought a PIN or a Pennant I would quit collecting.. I have no clue on value or scarcity? It just looks cool to me... JC

I did not mean to start a new thread here.. I wanted to add it to recent pick ups.. Adding the PIC messed me up... Sorry

Jim, did you win that pin in the Mastro auction? http://mastronet.com/index.cfm?action=DisplayContent&ContentName=Lot%20Information&LotIndex=49683&CurrentRow=1

Muchinsky's pinback book lists it at $2,500, which would seem to be about accurate given the Mastro price.

BTW, where's my Tigers postcard?? (Although I did win one in Hunt's auction over the weekend along with a few other postcards.)

JC:

Your scan of the pin is a little too small for me to see.

Are the photos the same as the ones from my card??

Which would also make them the same as the "Alpha Photo Engraving" cards, wouldn't it??

The value is one bump more than the last bump (plus 17.5%, shipping, handling and insurance)...........

Pins are great! I'm on the more 'common' pins like Cameo Pepsin, Diamond Gum and others. You can have these high dollar babies! It is a beauty and what a lineup........much better than the 1985 Cincinnati Reds.......

Perhaps all of these photos are related...

I will post a BIGGER PIC of the pin when it comes in from Mastro. Hal that is a GREAT Cabinet.. Do you want to do an even trade? David you had a great Cabinet as well... I did not know how talented this team was until I heard Dan Mckee talk about them at Nationals. I then did a little research at the baseball reference site where those were some amazing numbers they put up. Aaron, The Tiger's PC has not been found yet, but then again, the 2005 Tigers team hasn't either... JC
