you'll see why the Red Sox pin has nothing on the back--that's the way the new owners of Balfour make them! The White Sox pin was made YEARS ago (there's no date on them!), because the Sox hoped to be in the Series--in other words, it used to be a phantom pin, and became a real one (teams do it all the time). It was made BEFORE the Red Sox pin by Balfour, and befroe Balfour sold out--and that's why it says Balfour.

Not all WS pins have stamps--the guy at Recollectics will tell you the whys and wherefores of all of them--pretty interesting.

Kinda interesting that my '55 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series Press Pin--doesn't say "Brooklyn" anyware, either!
