I would imagine then that this was only available that one day? Or does anyone know if it was sold outside the stadium after the day? I guess I can look back and see what the attendance was that day but to me I would think that it would be a fairly scarce item, no? |

Somewhat pinback related, I’m always on the hunt for display cases for my pins and such. I stumbled across this one today. It’s a plastic case with a glass front and I think it would be great to keep in my truck so that when I’m out in the wild and I find a nice pin, I can put it somewhere to protect it for the ride home. it’s got an interesting snap closure. I’ve never seen one like this before.

Got a bunch of new pinback buttons in today and this is probably my favorite one, a 1934 Quaker Oats Babe Ruth club pinback button.
I’ll probably never be able to afford a playing days Ruth Yankees card, but this is the next best thing. It’s cracked and pretty beat up, but it’s real and it’s mine. |

These two were free ones that the seller threw in with the Babe Ruth pinback: a 1932 Orbit Gum Jack Burns and 1934 Cracker Jack Wesley Ferrell. Man, these two are rough!

Another pinback in the Ruth lot that bought was this neat Tigers one.

This is a random one in that same lot that I bought. I doubt that it has anything to do with sports, but has anyone ever seen this one before?

Someone got a very nice deal on this pair, I would say:

Another find from an obscure, online auction - 1980 World Series pinback.

Sometimes in the pin world you must step up to the plate and give up something to get something..I have been a pin collector for 45 plus years and had only seen this pin once.. Well now twice! Extremely happy to add it to the collection.I really dont post many buys anymore but I just had to with this one. As a PM10 collector just an incredible item.. Nice union stamping on the back.. A Gem.. Enjoy...

I picked up a couple of lots of pins pretty cheap. There's some scarce PM10s in there, plus the tough to find studio pin of Vida Blue. Thar series has been tolhe topic of a fair amount of discussion.

Nice Gary! I just sent you a message about one of the Giants pins.

1940 Cincinnati Reds National League Champions pinback
1 Attachment(s)
I recently added this rare 1940 Cincinnati Reds National League Champions pinback to my advanced Johnny Vander Meer collection.
IMHO the condition is remarkable considering that it is 84 years old. Although used sparingly in the 1940 season, Vandy was ironically called upon to be the starting pitcher on 9/18/40 @ Philadelphia. This game clinched historic back-to-back NL Championships for the Cincinnati Reds. Johnny was absolutely up to the task, pitching 12-innings for the win. Vandy's line for the day: 10 K's and issuing only 3 walks, 8 hits and 3 ER. The 1940 NL Champion Reds prevailed over the Phillies 4-3 n 13 innings... |

A's pins
1 Attachment(s)
Just picked up this group of Oakland A's pins. I seem to recall that somebody was maintaining a list of pins/players in this "set" (names in black box). IS that available somewhere? Was curious how many A's might be missing. I also noticed that there were two different Holtzman pins. I'm still searching for a few Giants (Kingman, Fuentes, Rader) from this set if anyone has some extras.
