End of the year PINBACK Extravaganza!!!
Ok Fellas...I've been posting a lot of pinback acquisitions and display photos lately...It's time for everyone to man up and post what you have. This isn't a competition, but rather a group share. No collection is too small or large. Any sport or non-sports pins are fair game and I encourage you to post display photos as well. I'll get us started with a win on ebay and the pics you have all seen of my displays.
Cheers, Mike

Superb collection!
Hiya Mike - that's quite a collection!
I don't display pins right now and it's a minor focus for me. This is the latest one I picked up at auction - I like anything from the old Brooklyn team.  Here's the more generic Dodger pin - and as most know - they came in at least two sizes; 1 3/4" and 1 1/4" - I've never seen this pin in a larger size?

I would hardly call this a "charm"
Also - just wanted to share this pic I found that shows - just about - the biggest pin back "charm" I've ever seen!
  This was taken just before the opening of the 1924 WS between the Senators and the Giants. Two of the people in the photo were reported to be Senator players George Mogridge and Joe Martina. I would say Martina is on the far right and Mogridge is the 3rd from the right.

My favorite thread-type on the Board!
 Mike, I love your table pic -- my (partial) inspiration years ago when I got started. And, as always....Al trumps us all with his stuff. Incredible collection, Sir. Also waiting for Andy to blow my meager little collection out of the water. I wrapped up #3 of 7 shadowboxes (late-October) -- been meaning to post. Now is as good a time as any. #4 well on its way. Here's to a happy, healthy 2012, Everyone!

Well done Aaron!!! Hey...a collection of just a few pins can bring a lot of enjoyement, so don't get caught up in the size or value of a collection. If you love it...it is priceless. Some of my favorite pins are the least valuable

Very nice Jay. Good to see you post up the dodgers pins. Here are a few pics from a good friend of mines collection. I posted these a few years ago but it will still send tingles down your spine!

Phillies "Blue Jays"
I posted this in the favorite picks of the year thread - I really like it - I've never seen it before I picked up this one; I think they were only referred to as "blue jays" for 2 yrs - and it was unofficial to the team and ML BB.

Mike R. stone 913 that is a great picture. Looking at it hard I do believe the pin is this one of Walter Johnson. Funny its such a hard pin to find now that maybe because of the size of the baseball no one wanted to ware it! Just a thought.

If only I had $300,000 to spend, this group could have been mine (but too late now, I guess)........

Phil,
Funny you should say that on the cameo pepsins as about half of the collection was mine . I wondered where the rest went when I sold them in REA in 2008. Doug ( hello Doug) was a little generous with the price estimate of 87,000. I believe I sold them for half of that around 42,000. Well again they went somewhere and we will have to wait and see who has them now. I had 30 good years with them and it was time to let them out into the world again!

These were inexpensive due to condition - tho I don't think one would have to shell out much to get them nrmt?
As many know - these are approximately 7/8" - these are the kind that we used to put on our caps way back in the dark ages.

A couple of favorites of mine - not rare or anything.
  Tho not a true pin back - I have no idea what this pin is? It appears to be some kind of "Dodger" HOF? And - perhaps - they gave these pins to the members that were elected? I do like it - I believe it's a Balfour.

Atta boy Leon!
Al...those Mantles are off the charts! Dave...it may be tiny, but your collection is Mightey! Thank you for posting here. Why couldn't I have been born rich instead of so damn good lookin!?!?! If you have ever seen me you will recognize the humor in that statement.

I was just saying that I never come across team pins bigger than 1 3/4" and you have some that are larger. What's the size? They look something like 2 1/4"? The crossed bat pin is what attracted me to them back around 1993. Thanx.

Mike R.
The larger pins are 3.5 inches. The only other ones that size I know of are the Cubs (with "Go Go" like the White Sox pin), a White Sox without the "Go Go", and another Dodger with blue letters instead of red. They are shown in Muchinsky's book, but I have never seen them for sale. Being a huge Cubs fan, I would love to have the large Cubs variety.

Pinback mania!!
Here are a few vintage pinbacks of pitchers that threw no-hitters.
BTW, here is my year-end shameless plug: I'm still looking for nice pinback examples of Johnny Vander Meer and Bob Feller. Help a fellow net54 collector out if you have anything that will feed my passion (addiction)! I also threw in some circa 1969 Amazin' Mets pinbacks. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Nolan Ryan pinback study 1973-1993
Here are some of the pinbacks out of my advanced Nolan Ryan collection.
Of special note are the following rare Ryan pinbacks: The giant 1973 Nolan Ryan button which was sold at So Cal's May Co. department store. $1.25 could have bought you this beauty in 1973. This is the only known example. Bonus points for the price tag that's still attached to the back. The Ryan 3" button with the shade in his eyes is one of about 3 examples. This was briefly sold at Anaheim Stadium in 1974. The Rangers era vendor pinbacks were worn by Arlington Stadium employees after Nolan got his 300th win, 5,000th strikeout and 7th no-hitter. These are all VERY tough. The regional pinbacks featuring Nolan as an Astro and Ranger from Bristol, CT are extremely scarce. The oddball Rangers era group of pinbacks are all very limited and challenging to find. Once again, Happy New Year to all of you on net54!! Have a great 2012!

Very nice collection Scott. Thank you for posting it. I believe you really illustrate how there is something for everyone in pinbacks. It is a very interesting niche with limitless options for both the beginner and advanced collector. I particularly LOVE the unknown aspect (new discoveries from time to time) and the fact that it isn't about the grade. I for one will NEVER purchase a graded pin. It simply isn't worth the premium.
