Not
I shared much of the back story on the pins a while back (in this thread I think). Another piece to the story is there was a dinner in Pittsburgh celebrating the Pirates WS victory and there were a number of the Pirates shot by this photographer that were blown up to use for the dinner. I don't know which Pirates were included and which not. But there were a bunch that were definitely photographed by the same photographer. I have not seen any other Pirate pins(but Clemente).

No new ones but I picked up a couple of Cubs I needed, a 3.5" Billy Williams and a 3" Milt Pappas, from an eBay Cubs pins lot auction. From what is known to exist, I now need the 3.5" Ernie Banks, 3" Johnny Callison, 3" Randy Hundley, and the elusive 3" Jose Ortiz. The lot also came with a signed 3" Paul Popovich. I'm not into signed items of what I collect and would prefer them not to be, but it was a very well done job by Mr. Popovich in some sort of silver ink or paint.

That's awesome! A second Dodger. I'm guessing it's a 3" version in juxtaposition to the pin on the left of it.

There was a 1969 MLB 3.5" Ron Santo color pin that I need on eBay for the longest time a couple of years ago, the problem was that is was signed by Santo in sharpie or magic marker and the seller wanted $400 for it. When he eventually came down to $300 I decided that I was going to buy it and try to remove the signature from the clear plastic cover on the pin. Unfortunately someone else got it while I was putting $300 together at the time. It's just as well, I would have dreaded trying to remove Santo's signature. I still need that pin . The scan is from WorthPoint.

also I love that Santo appears to be wearing Glenn Beckert's helmet on that pin . . .
