Scott, I know Hoyt Wilhelm does have a PM10 stadium pin. I will look into a few on the list for you. Al

Scott there are 2 other players with pins that I can see Catfish Hunter was on the 1983 remake of the 1969 MLBPA pins and Dean Chance was on the origional 1969 MLBPA pins
probably wouldnt be very expensive. But that wilhelm would be another matter.......

[Scott Garner]

Thanks Al!

Scott- are you talking PM-10s or ANY pins for those guys? ^^^^

Great topic, and collections. I love all smalls; pins, pencil toppers, and patches. Not just baseball, any sport. For example, I like the look of those old, shovel-nose hydroplanes. Here's a portion of my Seattle Seafair pin collection 1954-1967 with a button from the short-lived (1957-60) Lake Chelan Apple Cup:

Rob,
Any round pin info, PM-10 or otherwise, would be helpful.

I'm just trying to gain a sense of what's out there in the hobby that would match the requirements of my no-hit pitcher pinback collection....

Hi Al, Rob, etc.
Great to see some truly amazing pics. It looks like Rob has the black backgrounds pretty well covered! I can't add a whole lot to the Giants button theme but thought I'd drop this odd-ball on the thread. Dr. M has the Red Sox version of this square pin and it's a really neat one in a weird baby blue color.

Scott, I have an early 70's Vida Blue at home that I'll locate later and post.

In the meantime, here's a site with a bunch of my buttons pictured. Please forgive the amateur nature of the layout. I'm no techie!!

Wow - do you have a photo of the 1969 MLBPA pin of Dean Chance with the Twins? Are we talking about the 3 1/2 inch buttons like the following: If so, I'm interested.

No these are the small ones about an inch across.

I would also love to know if you or anyone knows of a Wilhelm for sale. I am a huge Hoyt Wilhelm collector.

Thank you,

Brett

Hi Brett,
A very difficult pin to come by..... Probably will only be found in an auction and doesnt come up very often. Be prepared to pay up for it... Good luck in your search...

Duplicate post.

[ooo-ribay]

These are all the same...but different in subtle ways.

[Dave4Reds]

Scott - Maloney had at least one. Relatively common.

[Dave4Reds]

Here are some of my recent pick ups as well as a few of my favorites. Anyone looking to unload Reds pins let me know!

Dave, Thanks for posting that. Yes Scott these are the pins I was talking about. For Hunter and Chance also. About an inch across. Al

Thanks for the tip about the Maloney pin, Dave!

[batsballsbases]

Dave might be for sale.

[batsballsbases]

Wow looks like I might have an old fashion PIN WAR going on between 2 collectors... may the best man win!

Well its over Dave you are the winner !!!

I've shown them before, but since we've got a new pins thread going --

Here's the common Luke Appling on the seldom seen placard/brochure that was also given out that day.

Also shown: three PCL pins.
