Hi Bobby!

If you are referring to the 7/8" pins, I am somewhat familiar with them - just wanted to warn you that there were a batch of pins printed in the same style around 1983 that contains many stars that were not in the original set. From what I understand, the 1983 version does include a copyright 1969 date, but does not include the "Winona, Minn" reference on the printing on the side of the pin.

The original 1969 pins had 30 AL players with a red background, and 30 NL players with a blue background. I always enjoyed this set - they were originally issued in gumball machines. Somewhere I have a set with the original gum ball header card. Somewhere!

Happy collecting!

Marty
