Al,

Thanks for the information. Where the pins distributed with each purchase of shoes or an in-store freebie? I did a search on Buster Brown pins and baseball and the results returned a ton of Buster Brown pins, which was neat, since I was unaware that such an item existed, but I did not see any pins with baseball players depicted.

Is there a definitive guide for collecting pins and pennants? I really don't want to start collecting either collectible but the items shown on the board are inspiring!

My favorite recent pickup. A FRENCH magazine of all things.

Hey Tom,
Great pick ups!
The French magazine is killer! Is it dated? What are the dimensions?

Thanks. I likely paid too much for it but also do not know if I would ever see another one.

It is very large. About 10x14 inches.

Congrats! Looks like it survived the chaos nicely.

Hey Dean -

For pennants: https://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Penna.../dp/0557080053

The author is a Net54 member (lefty147, I believe) and there is a second edition as well. I hate to speak for Mike but he might still be selling the guides for about half of that amazon price.

For pins: Baseball Pinback Buttons by Paul Muchinsky. A beautiful, full color, 600 page hardback. It's out of print and I think nearly impossible to find.

I've been looking for that pinback book for a bit now and have not been able to find a copy. Good luck finding one.
