Added a few pins for my Tiger pin collection. Happy with these as this is my first vendor stadium pin.

The “crossed bat” pinbacks were produced in massive quantities in the 1950s and 1960s. For most teams, they are not particularly valuable. The Browns may be an exception, although I’m not sure. The only reason I think the Browns might be scarce is because it’s not shown in Paul Muchinsky’s pinback book and he had a very sizable collection.

The charm is definitely rarer than the more common glove/bat/ball but not exceedingly so. It might add a little bit to the pin’s value. I’m as interested as you to know if this is a rare pin or just another crossed bat...

It is not rare. And it is shown in Paul’s book. The charm is also not that hard to find. Have several pins with it attached.

The early crossed bat pins were all 1.25”. The later ones were 1.75”. The Browns were defunct by the time they made the 1.75”.

This is a pin I think is kind of interesting. "Shoeless Joe" was the novel the movie"Field of Dreams" is based on. The movie was filmed in Dyersville in 1988
