Hey Pin Gurus…
Is this authentic and of the era? Or is it a repro/fantasy Pin? https://www.ebay.com/itm/295270643400 Thanks for your insight! |

Jim if you are talking about the one on the right that one is
totally different . very rare as they probably realized their mistake early in the production and pulled it. Very sought after pin by collectors. |

I always assumed these two were by the same maker. Would you agree, Al? (sorry for the crappy picture)

pin was in that run as we know 2 are very rare but the Thomson is common. A nice Perry is also hard to come by.... |

Finally got around to scanning the team pennants Here's the NL https://www.qualitycards.com/picture...cannutboxc.jpg The American League https://www.qualitycards.com/picture...cannutboxd.jpg |
Thanks, Jay. I assume the ad for 9" pennants was an insert in the box?
|
Hank I'm not so sure
The Pin & Pennants are listed as a 1950 issue, but the larger pennant ad expired on 10/31/49 |

5 bucks. Really?

I find these to be very attractive pins, other than the fact that they picture Dodgers :p . They seem to bring no money even though they're nearly 60 years old. Is this true for the whole series? Or is Wills just super common? Are there other guys who do bring money?

I recently picked up a Koufax for $12, so they must be pretty common.
In general, Dodgers stuff from the 1960s is really common. In the late 1970s, I had a chance to explore Dodger Stadium, and I was given access to a room that was filled with boxes of old souvenirs of every imaginable variety dating back to the early '60s. It was staggering how much stuff didn't sell, and was sitting there nearly two decades later. |

Does anyone have a specific year of issue for the Redleg Booster pin shown here?

I would have guessed mid-50s. Were the Reds called the Redlegs in the 30s?

Font, and term "Redleg's" both smack of a later issue. |

I guess I may not have anything more than just a date range. |
White Sox pins
1 Attachment(s)
Guys............I picked up these 3 White Sox pins a couple months ago at an estate sale. They seem to be 1950's to early 60's era? I've seen a few of the smaller blue pins, but I can't seem to find any examples online of the larger 2 1/4" diameter white pin. Any info would be great and thanks in advance......Matt

I see a lot of questionable dates used to describe things — for instance, I often see Exhibit cards of 50s and 60s players identified as being from 1946. What's true is that style of Exhibit card came out in 1946.
I can go through my collection of baseball memorabilia and give you detailed information about nearly every card, autograph, cap, jersey, publication, or photograph I have. But when it comes to pins, I'm a lot a loss to say who made many of them, or where were they made, or when they were made. The Muchinsky book has great photos, but it lacks details. Pins are a real mystery to me, and that's part of why I find them so interesting. Why are so many of them so rare? Maybe we'll never know. Quote:

Believe it or not, this was a Holy Grail for me. Part of a 1987-89 set with Will Clark, Kevin Mitchell, Candy Maldonado, Rick Rueschel and Joel Youngblood. Clark and Mitchell are very common; the others are tough, especially Rueschel. I had been looking for Krukow for 30 f**king years!

Congratulations it’s the little things in life that give it meaning ;)

Congrats Rob! The Mike Krukow White Whale! :D

At the Chicago National 2021 I picked up this beanie with 43 1933 Tattoo Orbit pins ($400) my favorite pick-up from the show :)
