Any One Collect Pins?

[hcv123]

Is anyone aware of any Clemente variations - a small pin, color photo, etc?

I have never seen a small or colored photo Clemente pin. You would think that since these were made in Minnesota the Twins players would be very easy but they actually are quite difficult to locate. Here are pictures of a few that aren't in the group photo. I have either had or seen both the Carew and Oliva in both sizes. I can't find a picture right now but I have had a few Mickey Mantle's from this series (all the same photo). They are not impossible to find.

One has to assume that these pins were not a big seller for MLB. Even the big name stars are difficult to find, but the lesser-known players are almost impossible to find. Several years ago, a Ken Holzman sold on eBay for $118. I have never seen one since.

I'll start a checklist from Mike's, Andy's and Paul M's pictures and any other source I can find. I may even add an eBay search....not to buy but just to see what's out there.

Also, I know of the following:
Richie Allen
John Ellis
Cleon Jones
Jerry Kenney
Brooks Robinson
Frank Robinson
Ron Swoboda
Al Kaline
Jerry Koosman B&W
Joe Pepitone

^^^ very cool. Crazy how they pandered to the Yankees

I guess there were no legendary Twins, ca. 1969.

Anyone have a picture of the Brooksie pin (if there is one)?

They were all 3.5" buttons.

Here are a couple of photos of the price guide. The prices are way out of whack but it gets you an idea of some of the players in the series.

I only see the last three (3) players listed within the catalog. So, does that mean the others were not produced and/or were they not listed in the catalog?

They were produced but not listed in the catalog. The catalog is only a partial list of what is out there.

I looked everywhere I could think of but could not find a scan of a 1969 MLB Pin Jerry Koosman B&W, but it would make sense because many of the Mets have a color and a B&W.

There is a 1969 Willie Horton pin on eBay. This is the first Tiger that I’ve seen.
