Nice pickup. The Phillies had several in this style. If you find the one dated 1950 you’ve hit the jackpot. Very scarce.

Decided to drive out today to a place where I know of three antique stores, including one very large one. I got about 30% through the very large one and had to go get some lunch.
On the way to get lunch I spotted a little antique store in a strip mall that I had never been in before. Walked in and first spotted a 1958 San Francisco Giants program but then I saw this facedown in a change dish. Imagine my surprise when I flipped it over!! |

Thanks! Me too. When I spotted it laying face down, I could see the orange edge and thought surely this must be some junk pinback button. Why would it be laying face down in a display case? I stood there in shock for a moment.
Side note - The dates on it are for Oct. 8, 9, and 10, but the O's wrapped up the series on Oct. 9. I imagine that these were only sold at the stadium starting Oct. 8, and that they weren't available after Oct. 9. I guess that is what accounts for the rarity of it. |

Another obscure auction find arrived today, a beautiful Mantle PM10. Appears to be in near-mint condition.
Found a 2009 article online from SCD with pics of it and their description. |

Group photo! After a several week drought of not finding any baseball pinback buttons in the wild, the floodgates opened wide these past two weeks!
