Hi Rick

Thanx - that's one of the places I got the info from. It's interesting how many times I've seen the fake in auctions - both ebay and 'houses.'

Some rare 1965 Mets pins and a jumbo sized 1969 Mets pin.

Richard,
I like the 1965 Mets pinbacks. Cool!

What a great thread this is. Thanks for starting it Mike, and to all who have shared their collections! So many terrific pins posted by all, and I really mean that. I never get tired of looking at the vast range of such beautiful pins. By all means, PLEASE keep posting!

Like I whined before, I simply missed the boat on pinbacks. It's just to late in the game for me to plunge in headfirst, as they're too many passionate collectors to try and compete with.

Henry Yee's auctions always have plenty of sweet pins and I've even set some snipes over the last few years, but I've never even come close! So I'm sticking with Baseball photography and the Beatles... for now.

Well, at least I do have one nice pin that I always admired and picked it up several weeks ago from Bob McCann (who in my opinion is clearly one of ebay's best sellers of Baseball memorabilia).

Al,
I am a Mets collector, among many other things, so don't be so shocked. .
If I get around to it, I also collect various Presidential campaign pins (mostly TR and JFK) and can post some of those.
And please no mocking for my team of choice

ps. I believe the 1965 Mets player pins only consisted of those four pins. If anyone is aware of any other, please let me know.
