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...

Phenomenal, Al...
Such a beautiful Banks image, and one I have NEVER seen before (in all these years of collecting). Congrats on an incredible pickup! |

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.

Thanks, Cliff. Looks like I don't have Campaneris either. Do they ever come in packaging? Or were they likely just sold loose at stadiums or through souvenir catalogs?

Interesting. I had just assumed they were made by ASCO or some such company. Do you also have a list of the black box football pins? I know they are less common. I have John Brodie and I know I've see pins for George Blanda, Norm Snead, and OJ Simpson.

I have never been much of a pin guy. But a Long time ago I purchased a large cardboard sheet, blue writing against an orange maybe salmon color. And it was covered un these little team pins. I sold them as sets until finally someone came along and asked to buy the whole sheet. But I did stash away these. Not a complete set as I remember a red sox and a Dodger pin.

But it might also say "1969 buttons accepted" making it 1970. I can't tell for certain, too blurry. Edit: It's Definitely 1969 not 1970, I see it says so on the mailing address. |

Here is a Tarkenton black box button that I own. I own a few of the others shown like Namath and Unitas but this is the only Tarkenton I have ever seen.

Thanks for posting that ad Guy. I had always assumed those were 1969 just based on the MLBPA design from that year. I also need McGinn as well as Jones. In addition, I need McGinn and Staehle from the 1970 set. Have you seen a pic of McGinn from either year? Also, I could be wrong but I put the team logo pin with my 1970 group only because on the curl it says "Best In Sports" rather than "Made in Canada" which is on the 71's.
