"Oh You, " Pinback questions

[mjkm90]

I have the Cubs and sent my Red Sox to Greg Theberge a few years ago for his collection. I don't think they were made for all teams. In fact, the teams on this post are the only examples I've seen.

Regarding value. That, as always, is a difficult issue. The Cubs and BoSox demand a premium due to thier following and volume of collectors and will bring $150-$200 easily. The Phillies and Indians would probably range from $75-$100. This is simply an oppinion based on experience.

I think the $75-$100 price for the Indians is a bit high. Though you don't see these often, their relative scarcity isn't reflected in their price. Because of the small size and lack of "wow" appeal, I'd place a value of $40-$60, and to fetch the high end of that range, the pin would have to have its paper insert.

Here's my blue version of the Indians pin:

Edited to add: After comparing my blue pin to the red Indians pin above, I see that the fonts are a bit different. The paper insert on mine is for The Favorite Cigarettes, which might explain the slight difference.
