My new pinback displays and my wife's crucial mistake ;)

Incredible Cubs assortment Mike.

Very nice job on the displays - thanx.

Thanks fellas. The inside of frame dimensions are 16x20. If anyone has pre 1970 Tigers or Cubs pins available, please let me know.

Al...I saved the links to our old posts regarding pins, and yours are amazing my friend.

Mike,

Those are beautiful displays, and yes that's a definite hall pass from your wife!
I may be be able to help you out with that --

Thanks Mike! I like the size of those boxes. Boy I would love to do a good buy or trade with some of the boys but it seems that I cant get Greg or Andy to let go anything! Here is one of my more recent pick ups and it did cost me a pretty penny!

That...is an amazing pin Al

Very nice Nellie Fox pin Al. That's a really tough one -- I remember seeing one in the Bill Mastro collection auction.

The one in the REA auction went way too cheap in my opinion and it even had the Mighty Mites Club card and newsletter with it.

Thanks Mike and Greg this one was the one that came out of the REA auction along with the original membership card and large mimeographed booklet all about what the mighty mites were all about.

Now onto the best part of the story. So...my wife walks in after hearing me pounding nails in the wall and says "Those look great, but you really need to add a lot more pins to that Tigers display to make it look better". OH NO SHE DI-ENT This is the hobby equivalent of a Hall Pass right?!?!?!? Life is good

More fantastic pins from Mike and Al. Boy, did I miss the boat on pin-backs years ago. And Mike, seeing those terrific green walls again, reminded me that your skill as a craftsman is only rivaled by your keen eye for collecting. Both of which are really top-notch!

Hey Mike............The display looks great! I have that Tigers/Briggs Stadium pinback for your collection I mentioned before. I'll bring it over the next time 'the group' of Michiganders/Northern Ohioans gets together. Take care..............Matt

Thanks a ton Matt...we should get together soon. I'll reach out to you and the fellas after the new year.
