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.

Although these circa 1965-66 lenticular pins are not difficult to find I have always liked them. I have the Dodger and Angel versions in my collection already. The reason for my post is to share my recent pick up of the Astros pin. I thought others may be interested in seeing how these were originally packaged as this is the first time I have seen one attached to the display board.

I love those pins too, Mike. You don't see the Giants versions all that often, even though Burlingame is in the Bay Area. I love the manufacturer's name....Dimensional Research....as if guys in white lab coats were turning these out. I appreciate seeing the original packaging, especially the guy who appears to be wearing the pin in his local liquor store.
Are you sure the "Astronut" is an Astros pin? It seems like, if that were the case, it might say "Astrosnut." Perhaps it was just capitalizing on all the interest in space travel at that time. Also, the others are all California teams...

Mike I dont know about the astronut as it might be about space but I know there is a cubs one and here is the Mets one I have.

Hey Al - is your Mets example marked "Dimensional Research" on the back?

The only reason I say that is because everyone of these that I have seen always seems to mention the team on the pin. I think if it was Houston Astros they would have put it in the pin. Just my thought.

Nobody has mentioned the Detroit Tigers/Briggs Stadium version yet, but IMHO it's the niftiest of them all.

Mark,
If you were thinking of this one its made by Vari-Vue... And Mark that was a great example of using the word Niftiest in a sentence!

What years would you think this one dates from?

Thanks Al.... That's the one!
You almost need two pictures of each of these, just to show off both views. Rob: As for the timing of the Tigers Pin... I would guess early '60s. The style of graphics look a bit earlier, but I don't think this technology was around anytime before the 60s. Al can probably provide a more precise answer, but that's my educated guess!

Hi Mike yes thats the Vari-Vue cubs one but I do know there is a Dimensional Research Cubs pin out there also. Different graphics and in white edge.
Mark, That is what I would have said also my friend early 60s..

Shame on me....I didn't know Briggs and Tiger Stadium were one in the same (NL guy). When did they stop calling it "Briggs"?

After seeing some of these amazing pin collections I decided to display mine. Yesterday, I went to Michaels Arts and Craft store and was going to by a shadow box or frame. Their had to be 30 people in line and only two cashiers. So I walked out of the store and will go back another day.
My question, is it best to buy a shadow box and put some type of foam in the background or purchase a regular frame and squeeze them in? Some advice please. |
#271
|
||||
|
||||
I purchased mine at Michaels. They have the foam backing already covered with felt.

Do they still sell those, Mike? The Michaels around here (and every other Seattle retailer) stopped carrying them. I've given up looking. The only shadowboxes they sell now have a big void (2" of air space) between the glass and the backing.
The ones where the foam filled the void between the back and the glass are now extinct. So I've had to go with less attractive Riker Cases (which I can find only on-line). |

pin display boxes
I just picked these two 16" X 20" cases up at Hobby Lobby. After their 1/2 price special I got them for a total of $38.00 tax included. I put my pins on the cotton front, but, if you want you can remove it and their is a cloth pin pad to put them on. I still have one more board for all my pm10 buttons that are not dodgers to buy and fill.

Looks great Shale!
When it comes to pins there are few bad answers. It's really more about function than form IMO. Cheers, Mike

Shale,
Thanks for the tip. I went to Hobby Lobby this morning and picked up a couple 16 x 20 boxes. This looks like a good project to do today. Jim |

Saw these on the Topps site and since I like old school buttons decided to order a set. Said that they were limited to less than 75 sets per team I ordered a full set of every team plus two Yankee sets. One I opened up and is shown here. This year they produced a number of 5x7 sets that had old school themes 67 stickers 69 posters 58 all stars. All a little tough to store and display but just cannot help myself. The buttons on the other hand should display very nicely since I have a hobby lobby down the road.

They only had pin sets for 11 teams and the Nat's were not one. I had seen that they did some retro pins earlier this year. For the 74 A's the 77 yanks the 86 Mets the 79 Pirates etc. But these were the only buttons of Current players I had ever seen offered by Topps. It would be nice if they caught on and maybe bought along a new generation of Pin/Button collectors the hobby can use all the new blood it can get.

Sure. Just got this on on ebay for 40 bucks. 1" diameter. Not super thrilling but if it's Giants, I want it!

Just picked up this one -- I've never seen it before and really like the look of it.
The photo for some reason makes it look much rougher than it really is. Greg |

I like it too. Any idea who the gent in the hat is?

Not as knock-you-over amazing (IMHO) as Mike's Kiner find -- but, got this one as a 6.95 BIN, & was pretty psyched. It had been sitting for a little less than 2-hours; I was shocked that it was now in my lap.
I'd never seen one from the series before (or at least noticed) -- and ironically a "foxy" Staley from the same issue popped up within 48-hours of my pick-up (congrats, Al). Weird how our hobby works sometimes. Sorry for the bad photo -- took it from the listing. Got a new scanner & trying to figure out the settings: c1953-54//1.75'' for anyone keeping score at home Last edited by CobbvLajoie1910; 10-18-2014 at 09:46 AM. |
