Some eBay sellers think they can send their kids to college on such stuff but all can be found cheaply, with patience.

Appreciate the info, Rob. I’m paying what I feel are very fair prices. For example, I paid $20 for the 7 pins that I bought today. At $2.85 a pin, I feel very comfortable with what I paid.

Very fair! Good job. Here’s the Giants Crane’s and Guy’s:

Boy, they sure did like to reuse that same phrasing, didn’t they!

Anyone know when this Cubs pin that I found yesterday may have been made? I’m assuming 50s-60s???

[Vintagedeputy]

Today’s finds.

I think more like 40s-50s, but I could be wrong.

Love the tab, I see this one survived its one bend and rebend. I don't know why they don't get more love, they are SO tough to find with the tabs intact. Here's my little collection.

Are those all the same year, and is that a complete set? Are there players from other teams? Please tell what you know about them.

Complete set, yes. 1958. These pins were included in packs of Armour hot dogs sold in the Bay Area. I don’t believe player pins were done for any other teams. I think the similarly shaped team pins, like Mike’s, were most probably stamped by the same manufacturer but I don’t know how they were distributed. Do you know, Mike?

I don’t know. Hakes Guide lists them as Issuer Unknown, for both the early issued set (40’s-50’s) and the one from the 60’s.

Thanks. Great information on some really cool collectibles.
