Any One Collect Pins?

Al, I think Mike is right; i remember that button, too.

I thought it ended north of $700, though.

May've catalogued it....I'll double check later this afternoon.

Thanks Aaron! Boy then I missed that one!

Are you talking about this Brooksie pin? This is the only pin I've seen in the past on eBay, grouped w/Brandt, but as I remember the auction was pulled (maybe someone talked the seller into ending early?). Hopefully you can notice by the picture that the middle name was correct as Calbert. Also, notice that this is a different picture of Brooks, not the one in the current auction.

Mark,
Yes thats the one. I also remember that auction it was taken down fast!
The bids were up to $1000 when taken down . I spoke to him about it and he told me he was going to take them to the national and only listed them to "Test" the market. Guess he got his answer. Wow your good that was 3 years ago!!

Al,

I had seen that particular Brooks pin in the past, prior to the eBay auction, and if I recall correctly was surely one of the bidders when the auction was taken down. When the auction was open I copied the pin to my pictures so I'd have it as one to find and acquire if I ever saw one again. I sure do "appear bright" now dont I?

I have never seen the pin in the current eBay auction, but still was surprised by the ending price. Now it gives me another Brooks pin to look for in the future.

I located a photo I had saved of the Robinson pin that sold on eBay a year or so ago.

I remember seeing one on ebay not too long ago and it was pulled. I'm talking within the last few months.

Whoever snagged this one for $20 - got a steal!
