For this pinback design specifically, I've seen quite a few over the years that seem to have a different backing material, with bright and shiny rims, and just overall look new. I understand that there is "new, old stock" for some vintage items, but some of these just seemed much newer than 50s or even 60s to me.

I guess a little rust can be a welcomed sight!

Right.... Grading be damned.

We like them clean, but (unlike cards) signs of age are very much welcomed (especially when confined to the reverse side )
