Any One Collect Pins?

#1 of 3x shadow boxes - took about 2-months to get the 'right' mix/fit.

Thought I would share!

Very nice Aaron! Would love to see a bigger Pic!

Much better. Thank you Aaron. Very nice array of pins including some very tough to find ones.

Very nice Aaron ... some very nice pieces in there! Glad to see someone else that collects!

There is a Al Kaline 1968-69 Detroit Tigers Iron-On Transfer promo pin that matches my Ron Santo 1969 Chicago Cubs Iron-On Transfer promo pin in the upper left corner, I didn't know the Kaline existed.

Funny Cliff I knew there was a Kaline transfer pin but never knew there was a Ron Santo transfer until you posted that pin awhile ago, I think in this thread somewhere. By the way the Kaline is listed in Pauls book....

Thanks for the compliments, Gents.

Give me a month or 2 on the other 2x - I've been staring at an office floor of pinbacks for the better part of quarantine

The hobby is about people.

I was lucky to have a couple of really kind & helpful collectors show me the ropes when I first started collecting pins 15-or-so years ago. I remember seeing Mike Hoevet's glass coffee table of pins/celluloids and thinking "THAT is what I want in my office". I was lucky enough to be able to tell him that prior to his passing (RIP). Collections inspire; thus - why I shared a meager photo of mine.

I've frequented this board (inc pre-net54) for close to 20-years. Thanks All for sharing your stuff. A lot of my drive to keep searching was fueled by many of the pieces/conversations/etc. you all have enriched me with.

Thanks + cheers!

PS. Al, that Haddix of yours would look awfully nice hidden amongst there, no? If you ever sell, FYI - I should've kept it

Wow Aaron I forgot all about that! That was a long time ago! By the way I still have it in the collection! If I remember I think it cost me a pretty penny! But hay its only money!

I miss Mike...

The Memorabilia forum has never been quite the same since he left us.

Mark I totally agree! Was a very good man...

[batsballsbases]

Mark just for you a little tribute to our friend Mike, and a little push for the pin section. Mike was a big Cubs fan and always loved this piece I have! Enjoy Mike!
