Hi Clayton, what you have are un-authorized reprints of a legitimate pin set issued originally in 1969. The reprints were made around 1983.

The legitimate set had 60 pins, all with blue backgrounds, and all current players. They also had Winona, MN in the copyright. The fakes do not.

There are 36 known fakes including all the names you have listed. The unauthorized set also issued old timers like Musial and DiMaggio.

These are seen frequently at antique malls and flea markets. They have no real value.

Randy
