Great Pin/Awesome logo! Gotta love the original "Swingin' Friar".

Makes you wonder why almost every team has abandoned anything remotely imaginative in favor of their current boring, corporate and unimaginative logos. I guess that's why we collect the old stuff.

I agree. The old stuff was way cooler. Today’s logos are antiseptic and boring in comparison.

Picked up this really nice Yankees pinback button in an online sale. I thought it may have been older, but it looks like someone wrote 1971 on the back. I thought it was rather odd that the baseball bat was not inside the hat like on so many other Yankee logos. Has anyone ever seen that variation before?

There is also this version.

Interesting...do you know what year that is attributed to? I actually just found my pic in the Muchinsky book. The book says that my version (bat next to the hat) is the less common version.

My meager Thursday National pick-ups. Though, was pretty stoked about the STL Browns vendor's badge.

To echo what was articulated on the main board - it was absolutely bananas. That was my 7th National (4th in Cleveland), and I've never seen it like that. The hobby is alive and well. Though, as has been the case for the last decade or so, the memorabilia offerings weren't as robust as I remember them being 20-25 years ago.

And as I rarely post anymore - adding my re-worked frames to the thread.

Take care, All!

I gotta re-do at least one of my frames (Giants minor league affiliates) like that. All my frames have space between the pins but the crammed together look is cool.

Very cool. The vendors badge is off the charts! Thanks for posting.
