Any One Collect Pins?

[ooo-ribay]

Another thing I just noticed.....other than PITCHERS Bradley, Bryant and Marichal, Maddox is the only guy not in a batting pose. It's as if, for the Giants, batting was the default pose. I wonder if that pose could be tied to a specific year(s).....

I think PM is the designation for pins sold at ballpark souvenir stands.

Nice detective work, Mike!

Great research! All the Cubs I have played between the years 1971 and 1974. Banks last year with the Cubs was 1971. Some however, including Steve Stone, Vic Harris, Bill Madlock and Jerry Morales, didn't arrive with the Cubs until 1974. Apparently they made one of Ron Santo with the Cubs, and then in 1974 another one when he was with the White Sox.

What info I can add to your Cubs pins collection photo, a Billy Williams pin and a Fergie Jenkins pin (misspelled name), and two different pins each of Jose Cardenal and Rick Monday, same photos but each blown up on one of the pins.

But why? What's the P stand for? What's the M stand for?

The PM designation came from the American card catalog originally published by Burdick and later revised by Buck Barker. I don't think the P and the M stand for anything, they are just used to designate different types of collectibles. PM 10 were definitely those pins sold by vendors outside stadiums.

I found this in a post by David Hornish. It doesn't provide the definition of the PM acronym either.
