I've seen Carpet and Floor Styles, as well.

My contribution to your posts:D

Off topic - but, Al - what did you use as a backer on that? It doesn’t look like foam?

Rob, that Lefty O’Doul variation goes to the top of my wantlist. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen one; yours is beautiful :cool:

Hi Aaron,
No its not foam ,to thick to fit in the 25 count snap case. I found that if you just use a thin piece of cardboard cut to size stick the pin thru it it works well. I find the white cardboard the the comic book backer boards uses works well! Makes it look better.....

Thanks, much Al - I appreciate the response.

I 'made'/cut foam inserts for my 2.5" pins and smaller.

Bought cases for my 3"+, and am looking for some other options.
I'm assuming you use comic backers on those too?

Anyone have an alternative they use?

Cases
 

Hi Aaron,

Years ago I used to attend the political collector shows. Tom French displayed literally hundreds of buttons in foam backed holders that he sells on his website. They looked really great on display. Here's his link with a tab on the front page to click on. https://usamericana.com/

Andy - you made my day. That is exactly what I'm looking for.

Thank you! :)

Holders
 

Hi Aaron,

Just a little heads up about some negatives. The holders that seem to be perfect for 3 1/2" pins are actually too tight. with the foam and the limited area side to side, you kind of end up "forcing" the lid down. Maybe he has a larger size that may work better. Also, because the lid actually touches the buttons, I wouldn't recommend these for litho's only celluloid. I didn't want the lids directly on the litho paint. It's probably not as much of an issue with the smaller lithos because the lids barely touch. Anyway, I should have taken a picture of his display back in the day because it was the nicest in the room.

1971 Expos pinbacks
 

Trying to complete this set, still missing Jim Gosger, Mack Jones, Coco Laboy, Dan McGinn and Claude Raymond, if you know of any....

Mauch
 

Hi Guy,

I don't know why he's on my want list but I always thought there was a Gene Mauch in this 69' set as there is in the 70' set. I don't know why it's on there but just wondering if you're pretty sure he's not included? I only need 2 from the 70's set.
