Any One Collect Pins?

[Scott Garner]

It's been a minute since I posted my no-hitter pinback framing project and I thought I would send an updated look.

I've added a few pricier pinbacks including Frank "Noodles" Hahn (1st no-hitter in the 20th century).
I also made a decision to have fantasy pinbacks of a few of my favorite pitchers in order to fill the gaps where no issued pinbacks were ever produced.

Obviously, I needed to add Vandy and Virgil Trucks, both of which pitched 2 no-hitters in the same year, 1938 and 1952 respectively.
I also liked the Koufax blue fantasy pinback because it was well done...

Enjoy!

I just realized I think I have a 60 something yogi Berra Mets pin.

Need to find it and if I do I will post the picture here

I believe it is a 1965 Go Mets Go Pin

Found it.

This is my First and only pin I got many years ago during the early days of my collecting

Well, that's a darn nice one to have.

I believe the only reason why I have this pin is because I was a Yogi fan and I was doing a trade for that Honus Wagner Ronsen Lighter from approx 1913 and this was "thrown in" to even out the trade values

This was the Wagner piece (previously shared in a different post)

That's an Aronson Match Striker. Have never heard that it was attributed to representing Wagner. But I have seen the piece in a few auctions, portrayed as a Babe Ruth piece (probably erroneously).

I think that in reality, it is just a cartoonish Batter depiction that's generic in nature. Quite tough to find in decent condition, especially complete with its striker at the top. The Base Plate is often missing as well. That's just a terrific early Baseball Figural piece.

Sorry to get off-topic.... back to Pins!

Agreed but to keep it on the topic of pins. I will try and turn it into a Pin but not sure if it will be balanced
