Any One Collect Pins?

[stone193]

Hiya Mike

First - nice pins - and I've seen some really cool and incredible pins in the past few pages.

I don't collect pins - tho I like them - just don't want to sway too far from my current "focus."

A favorite of mine - is a complete "team" set of pins - that most likely were sold at ball parks in the 50s.

What makes this one more cool? The original cardboard backing.

Based on the Braves and Nationals pin? I would date this set from 1953 to 1955.

Pins are 3/4" and in really nice shape.

Here are 3 recent pinbacks that I have picked up. I collect pinbacks of vintage no-hit pitchers.

BTW, I'm always looking for ones that I don't have. I would love to find one of Allie Reynolds, Virgil Trucks and Johnny Vander Meer. If you have these or any others to sell, PLMK. Thanks!

Many thanks to net54 member Rob Dewolf for offering me the Bob Lemon (hands over head) and the Cy Young that you see here. Cy Young threw 3 no-hitters at the turn of the century (including one perfect game), Bob Lemon threw one against the Tigers in 1948 in Det.

The other pinback is a rather scarce one that depicts no-hit pitcher Earl Hamilton. Earl Hamilton pitched a no-hitter against the Ty Cobb led Tigers in 1912.
After his ML career ended, Hamilton went on to own a minor league baseball team.

I have about 30 cases worth....here is a sampling. I get the frames from Indian River Display and recommend them highly. Sorry for the crummy pictures....

In the bottom case, I still need KEN HENDERSON!!!

Rob,
Great Giants pin collection, and I know that you are just showing the tip of the iceberg here.

BTW, I collect pinbacks of guys that pitched no-hitters. I suspect that currently I have between 50-60 different ones. One pinback that I'm looking for is of Gaylord Perry in a SF Giants uniform. Do you have any duplicates or know someone that might?

Here is a small sampling of pinbacks from my own collection.

I love that idea! I don't have any duplicates, but will keep an eye out. The orange border Perry might be a little easier than the PM-10, but both are tough. BTW, the Perry PM-10 is a bit of a mystery because it looks so "bootleg" but has the SF on his hat while other, more professional looking, Giants PM-10s sometimes do not. That is the only Perry PM-10 I know of.

I really mourn the passing of pinbacks in recent times. They are all but extinct.

P.S. I don't know of any Halicki or Montefusco pins.

I have only seen the Perry PM-10 w/ SF on hat show up on eBay once recently. Did you buy yours from Eric Weeden out in the East coast?

How big is the Orange boardered button of Gaylord?

Good to know about Halicki and Montefusco. I wondered if a pinback of these guys existed or not...

Thanks!
