December Pick-Ups

[ooo-ribay]

An upgrade of the one I already had. It seems the 1960s were the golden age of dated World Series ribbons. Unfortunately, the Giants only went to one. And, although Paul Muchinsky said ribbons and dangles do not affect value, I love the trophy! First I’ve seen.

Cool pin, I happen to like the added bling. All of the 1971 Pirates Post season pin backs had ribbons and dangles relating them directly to the playoffs or World Series. The Pin backs themselves are non-descriptive and have no text related to the series or the playoffs. 1970s Pirates pin backs aren't exactly rare or expensive but they certainly are cheaper without the post season ribbons and dangles.

Very nice pin Rob. Do you find it difficult to collect Giants stuff for years where they lost the world series? I have trouble wanting something from any year the Yankees lost, 2001 especially. But maybe that's just me.

Agree... The attachments definitely impact the value. At least with regard to the less-expensive and mid-priced Pins. I've seen countless instances where the ribbons/charms version sells much faster (and sells for lots more money, despite Muchinsky's claim).

When you've seen enough over the years, you know which charms are original to which Pin. Most people simply prefer the more aesthetically pleasing version.

That commissioner contract is fantastic!

Great pick up Rob. Have never seen this with the trophy. Probably one vendor had the trophies and decided to add them to stand out. I found it interesting in Paul's book that he said ribbons or charms on a pinback did not add value, yet this particular Giants pin is valued at $35 in the crossed bat section, and $1000 in the World Series section with the added ribbon. I actually asked him about this one time and his answer was long and confusing. I decided to drop it and move on.

I think he meant generic red, white and blue ribbons. I still think even those ribbons add eye appeal, if nothing else.

Really happy to end the year with this. Signed in 1928 as WJ was manager at Newark...the ball is correct Spalding ONL/International League.
