I'm freaking out over the '54 Mays!

Not exactly Mayseum quality, but I was tickled to pick up this oddball Bob Brenly from 1979. It fits in well with my SF Giants minor league pins. I have a soft spot for BB for a number of reasons...

He lived down the hall in my freshman dorm at Ohio University. Somehow, I ended up in the "jock dorm."

He suffered through the Giants' 100 loss season of 1985 and later contributed to Roger Craig's "Humm Baby" teams.

Finally, he had a day to remember in 1986 (see article).

Great thread. I've gotten hooked on pinbacks (see what I did there) after picking up my first 2 recently.

I'm waiting on a few Sweet Caporal pins to be delivered too.

I'm in learning mode at the moment. I'll only dabble here and there while I build up some knowledge about the market. Other than net54 and Paul Muchinsy's book are there pinback websites that you guys recommend?
