Any One Collect Pins?

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.

Here is a recent pinback pickup that I really like.
It is a Cincinnati Reds pinback with a large metal baseball dangler that was originally sold at the 1938 All Star Game at historic Redland Field in Cinci.
The metal ball says Made in Japan on one side.

Johnny "Double No-Hit" Vander Meer became the 1st NL rookie to be the starter in the All Star game.
Vander Meer tossed his back-to-back no-hitters less than three weeks earlier.
Vandy got the "W" and the NL squad prevailed over the AL in the 1938 AS classic.

I have numerous pins with the large metal ball dangler but never paid much attention to them. Upon checking, I found several made in Japan, but some in Germany and the US.
