Mickey Mantle pin: Is it vintage or is it a reproduction?
Now that I'm collecting pins, I'm trying to avoid the many reproductions and fantasy pins that can be found all over eBay. I feel good about most of my pins, but this one I just picked up has me skeptical. With all my other PM10s, the backs are rusted, but not on this one. Can somebody here tell me if this is vintage, a fantasy piece or a reproduction? It's listed in the Muchinsky book as a vintage pin. Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,
Its a real one. Not all pins have the union logo stamped on the back. It takes years to figure out what is good and what is repro. There was a good find of that pin a few years back so there are many out there now. Yours is a nice clean version of it. NOW if you can find the yellow version of it thats a very rare item! Doesnt come up very often! Here are my Mantles.. Good luck in your hunt!

Thanks so much Al! Your response made my day. I thought for sure I'd fallen for a fake ...
