Default The grading of pins

Posted By: Phil Garry

I currently have eight baseball pins and they are all graded because they are part of my HOF Collection which consists of cards, postcards, pins and currency and every piece is graded. I do this more for authenticity and preservation than numerical grades as most of my collection falls into the low-mid grade category. My three favorite baseball pins are all team photo pins:

1896 Paterson, NJ Minor League Team w/Honus Wagner & Ed Barrow

1896 Baltimore Orioles w/Ned Hanlon, Wilbert Robinson, Willie Keeler, Joe Kelley, John McGraw & Hugh Jennings

1902 Pittsburgh Pirates w/Honus Wagner, Fred Clarke & Jack Chesbro

Scans of these three pins can be found on my website:
