The publisher still sells these.

Nearly three years after filling up my first shadow box with pins, I've completed a second shadow box display. I only wish I had started about 10 years earlier when it was way easier to find — or at least buy — the tough ones.

Great displays, Chris! Pins are odd….some marginal guys are cheap and readily available. Other guys are nearly unobtainium and ridiculously expensive if they do turn up.

Very nicely displayed, Chris!
Congrats on completing shadow box #2.

I don’t pay a ton of attention to the early stuff, but that’s a cool pin. I’m assuming it’s part of a set? A set I’ve never seen?

When I first saw the photo of the front of this pin, I just assumed it was from the 1930s set of Chicago evening pins which featured 10 Chicago White Sox and 10 Chicago Cubs. However, when I saw the back of the pin, I was very confused. The originals are 1 1/4 inch in diameter. I’m wondering what this one is as it appears to have some sort of a rim around the outside. Here’s a photo of one of the originals.
