Discussion: Design Ideas For Net54 Pins at the National

[spacktrack]

Hi Everyone,

As many of you know, for the last four years Leon has distributed Net54Baseball pins for free at his table during the National. Chris "Bubba" Lamb (peterose4hof) has generously produced and donated them to the board each year. This year, since Leon is not attending the Atlantic City show, Robert Edward Auctions will have the pins available for board members all week (while supplies last) at the National at booths 661 and 760. This is the first National at which we've ever had a table, so we'd like to meet as many board members as possible and put faces with names of the collectors who have enjoyed our auctions for many years.

With that said, in order to have pins made, we need a design that Chris can work with. Past pins have been based off cards (Goudey Ruth and D304 Cobb, for example), while last year's was the Sgt. Pepper/Hall of Famers design. Understanding that there will likely be many suggestions floated out, we'd like to see if one gains more support than another in the coming days. If it looks like a consensus of some sort has been reached, we'll move forward with that design; if not, we'll come up with one that will look great. Our goal here is just to continue the tradition that many board members have enjoyed for the last several Nationals.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone suggests!

Thanks Brian. I have some ideas in mind if there isn't a consensus or if the interest level on the design is nil. We just need to have something to the printer in the next week or so....here are the past designs.

I only the have the "plain" one top left, which is cool, but those others are way cooler.

Oh, and I cast my vote for Mr. Large Herzog.

The Herzog is a great idea.

I might also suggest something like this. I could make the image bigger and add more text with the date and location if needed.

That's a cool one!

+1. The logo doesn't take away from the image and as noted, there is still room.

Thanks again, Brian.

Pins were received yesterday and some are on the way to Big D too, so I can disburse some that members have requested. I found this one (below) from an earlier year too.....I have yet to see the finished product of the new ones....They will be at the National booths 661 and 760.

Leon, your shipment of pins went out in today's mail. You should have them by Monday or so.

Great job on the design Max....they turned out really cool!

Here is a picture of the prototype. I was able to sharpen the focus a little bit more on the finished product.

[Rich Klein]

I hope you the pins by my show then Leon -- I'd love to be able to pub them for the August 13th show

Haven't received them yet but hopefully Brian will have some left. I have a lot of requests for them....and they will be filled as first come first served. Thanks again, Bubba!! Great job as usual..

Here are a couple of pictures. I got it Wednesday after the VIP reception. I'm giving this my best shot; can't get a good focused shot. Or maybe I should go back to sleep...it's 1:30am. I've got to get an early start tomorrow.

Thanks Leon!

Really appreciate it.

Love the design on the pin.
