If you are collecting them as a purist and for the love of your team they are priceless, BUT if your collecting them as an investment for later years my thought would be they wont be worth much more that you paid for them now...

I wish you would've been able to tell that to the person who outbid me on all three of these in the past six months on eBay for a collective total of around $700 .

Cliff,
Like I said MOST but not All pins ... These (2 sets) see to be the not all... And if it makes you feel better I dont collect either of these sets! So it wasnt me!

Wow! This thread was buried.

Over in the pennant thread, Greg figured out an easy way to show a whole collection...Google photos. Here's basically my whole SF Giants pin collection, save for a few 6 inchers. The good, the bad and the ugly. If you have any I'm missing and are willing to sell, let me know!

David SB sent me these Tigers over the weekend.

I just picked up two incredible pins relating to the Denver Bears / Grizzlies. The Denver Bears (aka Grizzlies, Mountaineers & Mountain Lions) was a minor league team that played from 1884 through 1954. The 1911 Grizzlies were the Western League Champions and are considered one of the top 100 minor league teams of all-time.
One of the pins I just got is related to that 1911 team. It has a team photo but more amazing is the ribbon attachment. The pin is shown in the Muchinsky book (without ribbon).
The other pin is a homecoming pin for the 1923 Denver Bears. It pictures many of their players in individual cameos.
Any thoughts on their value would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Lou

Hi Lou,
Great Pins! Not sure about value but I'm pretty sure the 1923 button is actually the Northern Colorado Bears Football team coached by George Cooper.

Rob- I enjoyed seeing all of those Giants pins. I think my favorite was the anti-Dodger Boo-ribe.

Attached is recent pickup for me, a Chester Charge button from earlier days of the Astros. Apparently the Astrodome scoreboard was a big deal back in the day and Chester was a graphic that would "run" across the board when good things happened.

Hi!

i think you're right about it being a football pin.

Thanks for the info.

I picked up the second pose of the large PM-10 for Hank Bauer. Still missing Richardson, Boyer and Slaughter.
