Here are a few more pictures. These are not mine but I have seen these before.

Also, I know of the following:
Richie Allen
John Ellis
Cleon Jones
Jerry Kenney
Brooks Robinson
Frank Robinson
Ron Swoboda
Al Kaline
Jerry Koosman B&W
Joe Pepitone

^^^ very cool. Crazy how they pandered to the Yankees

I guess there were no legendary Twins, ca. 1969.

Anyone have a picture of the Brooksie pin (if there is one)?

I have Yaz, Reggie Smith, and a B&W version of Conigliaro. They are the genesis of my addiction. They are the first three items added to my collection in 1970. My dad bought them for me during my first MLB game at Fenway. Not much monetary value but priceless memories are attached to them.

I have one from this series with Frank Howard of the Senators.

B&W or color? Size?

hmmmmm.....so they WERE sold at ballparks (and maybe at five and dimes as well). The "Rah-Rah" packaging led me to believe these were sold in stores. It seems like most stuff sold at ballpark concession stands was sold without packaging.

I went through Paul M's book. Unless I missed something, the scan below is all I found. Paul dates these to 1970 and they are smaller still, at 1.75". They are extremely similar to the pins we've been discussing but lack the MLB logos, have different fonts and have 4 stars per side, rather than 5. I'd have to imagine Paul bought these as a set from someone...

The Frank Howard I have is B&W in the larger size.

They were all 3.5" buttons.

Here are a couple of photos of the price guide. The prices are way out of whack but it gets you an idea of some of the players in the series.

[ooo-ribay]

From my early research, it appears there were no Indians, Pilots, Royals, Astros or Padres in this set. Plenty of Yankees, Red Sox, Mets and Cubs.

The spreadsheet is coming.

I only see the last three (3) players listed within the catalog. So, does that mean the others were not produced and/or were they not listed in the catalog?

They were produced but not listed in the catalog. The catalog is only a partial list of what is out there.

Thanks for the clarification. I'd ultimately like to know, from the Orioles, what pins are out there.

I really enjoy looking at all the variety of those pins and the slight differences of the pins.

Lotta stars on that '69 O's team, but I think only the two Robinsons were in that set.

These are the "Club Of Champs" pins offered by the Libertyville Illinois dairy farm, petting zoo and retailer. I think they are PF7 pins. Shown are the 2 known (to me) beanie styles offered for kids to display the White Sox pins. Shown is the very difficult "members pin". Many years ago Don Steinbach offered the jagged edge beanie and all of the pins on a large counter top easel back display with graphics.

I looked everywhere I could think of but could not find a scan of a 1969 MLB Pin Jerry Koosman B&W, but it would make sense because many of the Mets have a color and a B&W.

There is a 1969 Willie Horton pin on eBay. This is the first Tiger that I’ve seen.

That makes #100 on the 3.5” checklist.

OKAY....who won that willie horton pin?

[ooo-ribay]

The "quality" of these "black box" pins is all over the place. Most Giants are head shots but some (e.g. Marichal) are waist up. Also, some say SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS while others say San. Fran. Giants. The Bradley is ALWAYS under-exposed. Oddly enough, the two HOF-ers are the hardest to find.

Larry, do you think that was a good price for the Horton? I never seen a Tiger before and had a bid of $60 on it when I left for work. When I came home from work and checked eBay only to see that it went for twice that amount.

There is a 1969 MLB Al Kaline.
