Large PM10 baseball pinbacks

[springpin]

A reader of my blog commented on the seeming inconsistency (my word, not his) between my blog and my book regarding large PM10 pins. He noted some large PM10 pins in my book are not like those I described in my blog. He is absolutely correct. Here are the inconsistencies.

1. After I wrote my book, I came across some large PM10 pins from the 1939/1940 Reds. They feature an action shot of the player, not a head shot. I did mention these in a previous blog.

These large PM10 pins are in my book.

2. A pin of Red Schoendienst with a black background.
3. A pin of Ed Bailey with a black background.
4. An unusual pair of Milwaukee Braves pins (Frank Torre and Bill Bruton) in a different design than those I mentioned involving Aaron, Crandall, and Spahn.
5. An entire set of nine (bootleg) Atlanta Braves pins with red lettering.
6. A pin of Alvin Dark and a pin of Al Lopez with unique designs.
7. Pins of Gene Woodling and Whitey Ford with their names on the bottom.

Out of the 91 large PM10 pins in my book, 74 of them are of the same design: head shot, pale white background, and name at top. The other 17 are listed in 2) through 7) above. I should have been more precise in my language, acknowledging these 17, but stating I was referring to the more "typical" or "conventional" design as reflected in the 74 pins. My sincere apology for over-generalizing. That is the last time I rely on my editor, Brian Williams.
