I think no matter what your memorabilia focus is, everybody has at least one button. Let's see what's out there. Here's my favorite.

Tom. Not to be a stick in the mud. But I am very sure the blue background Dimaggio is a fantasy pin, not vintage.
I would love to see more large photos of your collection. Please keep them coming. I've been collecting pins for a short time (2 yrs.)and missed out on the days of inexpensive pieces.

Clint, not a bottom feeder to me. That Wichita pin is great...how difficult is that one? I only have a few pinbacks left as I'm streamlining my collection and getting rid of most everything that is not displayed (besides photos) or Nebraska related.

I have one left that I'll not get rid of and that's an 1896 Little Pinkies pin which has a little baby holding a ring bat. Not sure what happened to my scan of it as a bunch of my photos from photobucket have disappeared.

Dan, it's fairly tough. I seen one on ebay sell for over $150 bucks. I think two button collectors got in a bidding war over it. I actually have two of them and one other different style. Have you ever seen any Lincoln Athletic buttons like these?

Nope. No Athletics or Chiefs pins that I know of. The three lincoln pins I have are pre 1947 which would make them for the Lincoln Links which could have been either Western League or Nebraska State League.




At one time I contemplated collecting items from all the Western League teams from 1947-58, but most of it usually goes for high dollars and I figure I'm competing against guys like you and me who may have been looking for years for that certain item.

btw I think that Wichita pin is outstanding. I can only hope that something like that exists for the Lincoln club.

Thanks Dan. With the popularity of pins and buttons I would think that there's one out there.

I went to the Wichita Historical museum a few years back and they had a pin from the 1910 baseball team. I about fell over when I seen it. They also had a mint Fan Taz dispenser as well as two or three lemon peel balls. If you have any historical societies in Nebraska check them out as many have baseball items. They might give you a heads up on what's out there.

I picked this one up on ebay a few years ago.

I'm getting closer in finding the dates on my Lincoln pinbacks...they are from sometime between 1906-1918 as those are the years Lincoln played at Antelope park. Lincoln built a new park in 1922 "Landis Park" named for Judge Kenesaw Landis where they played until Sherman Field was built in 1947.

excuse the bicycle pin. The green "catcher" is a tobacco tin tag. They are quite hard to find and especially in condition. Note the game in progress. I enhanced this tag a bit for easier viewing..........

and iconic "Yellow Kid"..... The "kid" and other products born of R.F.Outcault's talent are pretty widely collected by a few different kinds of collectors. Artist Outcault's cartooning is noted as being the first successful running strip in a newspaper that produced income by it's inclusion - and a first of sorts as a "character" that was actively marketed on it's own. Outcault was also the artist for the well known Buster Brown and Tigue characters. Comes from a set of 155 or so with different themes. Dan, your Little Pinkies is from a set of 21 (really 20 as there are two variations of the base ball player).

(edited to introduce clarity .....

Heys guys, those are some great pin/button collections.
My collection is pretty meager consisting of three vintage football pins, and a large collection of Philadelphia Eagles pins ranging from the 40's to the 80s.

Technically not a "button", but close enough.

Thanks guys. The diameter is 3 inches. The portraits really do stand out boldly when you're holding it in your hand.

I enjoyed looking at everyone's pieces as well. Good stuff.

Dan, cool piece. I seen four or five different Sioux City buttons several months back. I was going to bid but they went for about 30-50 bucks apiece if I remember correctly. Where's the Wichita and Linclon ones hiding?

I saw those pinbacks too Clint...and I know I said I was staying away from other teams in the Western League, but this was so hidden I'm sure I was the only collector who saw it...I ended up as the only bidder. I've seen quite a few different Sioux City over the years, but I don't think I've ever seen a Wichita (1950s) other than the two you showed recently, and I've never seen a 1947-61 Lincoln pinback.

David- I like that Stenzel's pin. Al, I've never seen that Yankee pin either with the four players, very neat.

Dan, Bert just told me I should be getting my button in the next week or so. I'll post it when I get it.
