Did not know that!

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

I don't believe I have seen any of these posted here before, I am pretty certain they are a 1972 issue. They are 3.5" and are identically made as the 1969(?) MLBPA b&w and color 3.5" Winona, MN pins, so I imagine they were made by the same company. They are based on two 1972 Cubs team issued color photo packs, so there are possibly pins of Glenn Beckert, Jose Cardenal, Bill Hands, Randy Hundley, Don Kessinger, Rick Monday, and Milt Pappas, but I don't know what any of their catchy nicknames would be. Of course they misspelled Hooton as Hootin.

If they were going to spell his name that way, it should've said "Rootin for Hootin". Weird, but pretty cool set!

These pins are very difficult to find. The five you have are the only ones I’ve seen with the nicknames. In fact, I’ve been searching for the Santo for years. If you’re ever interested in selling the “Pizza Power”, let me know.

Looking for the story behind these pins. Both measure 3.5 inches in diameter. Are there others out there? What was Shell Oil's affiliation and why? Anyone have any knowledge to share?

Thanks

Chris,
Never could find out the story about these pins. This is the first time I have seen the Reds pin. very nice. So I guess Shell oil didnt want to lose customers so they made pins for both. I have the other 1961 version of the yankees pin. They are very hard to find. So now that I know there is a 1961 reds pins it would be logical to assume there should be a 1962 Giants pin. Maybe Rob with his Giants collection may have one... Rob?

While scouring WorthPoint looking for unlisted 1971 studio backdrop pins for the other pin thread, I ran across a couple of interesting 1969 MLB b & w pins. The first one is a Bobby Murcer pin that is obviously not him in the picture, I'm pretty certain it is Billy Cowan who was a Yankee the first half of 1969. The second one is a 2 1/4" pin of Jim Bunning, so of the four known Phillies, Richie Allen, Jim Bunning, Deron Johnson, and Tony Taylor, the Allen is the only one that is the normal 3 1/2" size.

Does anyone remember the 2.5 inch pins being sold in stores or otherwise? I clearly remember seeing the 3.5 inch being sold in stores in the early 1970s. Sure wish I had bought every single one.

Just picked up some Browns items including this 6" pinback. I'm a Cardinal collector and decided long ago that one team was enough for me (and my budget). Looking for information on this one - scarcity, value, interest, etc. Thanks.
