SO when one becomes available and as I have told you many times before open up that snapper purse and buy it because you may wait years until you find one again.... A guide is a guide simple as that... look at the dodgers pins pauls guide (dont get me started on pauls guide ruined pin collecting by the way) Jackie robinson guide 4000 sold 13,000 Preacher Roe guide 1000 sold 2000 on and on. So me paying about 100 more remember 18% commission also doesnt bother me... I will just sell off a few others and the cost will come down... BUT now I have one.... Here is what we are talking about.

For sure. There MIGHT be another SF Giants you don’t know about. A buddy told me he saw it on a woman’s hat at a Giants game. If his eyes weren’t deceiving him, I can’t believe he let her get away without buying that pin!

Funny little story as many of us serious pin collectors were on face time or messenger as the Hakes auction was on. I was talking to 5+ guys. I wont use names as some are very private people but one of the guys who won a group of the dodgers pins 2 1/8 size Roe , Cox ,Furillo, Hodges is a big time collector of dodgers. He is 84 years young! and collects with a passion... And good for him!

Quiet day so I thought I would post this up for all the pin guys.. A charm board made by the Gay Products company. (Leave it alone) 50s I have another one with the gloves on it. Dont see these much anymore. just a companion piece to the pins... Always loved it.
