In this case, all but the bottom left 3 are what I call "parking lot pins"...i.e. sold, without licensing outside of Candlestick Park. They are hard to find, but not exceptionally so. There is only one more player pin I know of, but there could be more. I was wondering, do you consider these "real"? They are definitely period correct (1990-93). Will they have value in 50 years as "real" pins?

Rob,
First let me say Yes the pins are real. Like I stated before all pins are real. Now in this case are they period correct (I would say yes) But the value here would be (in my opinion) really to a specific collector. I myself try and stay away from all pins made after and around 1969 give or take a few years. Most pins but not all made after that date really have small value but have more of a collector value. The value really lies in your heart as a true collector. If you are collecting them as a purist and for the love of your team they are priceless, BUT if your collecting them as an investment for later years my thought would be they wont be worth much more that you paid for them now... Now as to your last question in 50 years we will both be dead! So we will have to let history play it self out!

Wow! This thread was buried.
Over in the pennant thread, Greg figured out an easy way to show a whole collection...Google photos. Here's basically my whole SF Giants pin collection, save for a few 6 inchers. The good, the bad and the ugly. If you have any I'm missing and are willing to sell, let me know! https://photos.app.goo.gl/dyeDbkonCnkVv4y89

Denver Bears / Grizzlies
I just picked up two incredible pins relating to the Denver Bears / Grizzlies. The Denver Bears (aka Grizzlies, Mountaineers & Mountain Lions) was a minor league team that played from 1884 through 1954. The 1911 Grizzlies were the Western League Champions and are considered one of the top 100 minor league teams of all-time.
One of the pins I just got is related to that 1911 team. It has a team photo but more amazing is the ribbon attachment. The pin is shown in the Muchinsky book (without ribbon). The other pin is a homecoming pin for the 1923 Denver Bears. It pictures many of their players in individual cameos. Any thoughts on their value would be appreciated. Thanks! Lou |

Hi Lou,
Great Pins! Not sure about value but I'm pretty sure the 1923 button is actually the Northern Colorado Bears Football team coached by George Cooper. |

Rob- I enjoyed seeing all of those Giants pins. I think my favorite was the anti-Dodger Boo-ribe.
Attached is recent pickup for me, a Chester Charge button from earlier days of the Astros. Apparently the Astrodome scoreboard was a big deal back in the day and Chester was a graphic that would "run" across the board when good things happened. |

Hi!
i think you're right about it being a football pin. Thanks for the info. Lou |

I picked up the second pose of the large PM-10 for Hank Bauer. Still missing Richardson, Boyer and Slaughter.

If I had that Billy Pierce or Mike Krukow pin they would be on their way . The few Giants pins that I have are the easily found ones.

I got so hard up, I actually sent a letter to Krukow about a month ago. On a good note, I got something cheap on ebay today that I’ve been looking for for 20 years! (not a pin).

Jerry Grote Pin
Hi Guys:
I don't collect Mets pins but can anyone tell me what set this 3 1/2" pin came from? |
#774
|

|

If anyone has a nice copy of the 1986 Baseball Star button of Dave Kingman and is willing to part with it let me know.

These are from WorthPoint. I would have figured they were a 1969 issue but the odd inclusion of Marshall puts them at 1970 or less likely 1971. No idea who made them.

I know that the late 70's-early 80's numbered Sports Photo Pins are not at all popular and have virtually no mention here, but I have some mysterious ones that I was wondering if anyone else has any or if they know something about them. On the main series the highest number that I am aware of is #400, but I have seven Cubs pins that are from late 1984-early 1985, the format is different, and the numbers jump to high 700's-low 800's. Other than one of the Sandberg's they are high quality made. I have only seen Cubs. Does anyone know anything about these or have one from a different team? There is also a Ron Cey and a Bob Dernier but I don't have those. A board member graciously sold me the Durham.

Apparently, they made the "black box" pins for football, too. News to me.

When I searched for these on WorthPoint I ran across Plunkett several times, I think there was one of a soccer player but I can't remember his name.

There is a Al Kaline 1968-69 Detroit Tigers Iron-On Transfer promo pin that matches my Ron Santo 1969 Chicago Cubs Iron-On Transfer promo pin in the upper left corner, I didn't know the Kaline existed.

Funny Cliff I knew there was a Kaline transfer pin but never knew there was a Ron Santo transfer until you posted that pin awhile ago, I think in this thread somewhere. By the way the Kaline is listed in Pauls book....

Thanks for the compliments, Gents.
Give me a month or 2 on the other 2x - I've been staring at an office floor of pinbacks for the better part of quarantine The hobby is about people. I was lucky to have a couple of really kind & helpful collectors show me the ropes when I first started collecting pins 15-or-so years ago. I remember seeing Mike Hoevet's glass coffee table of pins/celluloids and thinking "THAT is what I want in my office". I was lucky enough to be able to tell him that prior to his passing (RIP). Collections inspire; thus - why I shared a meager photo of mine. I've frequented this board (inc pre-net54) for close to 20-years. Thanks All for sharing your stuff. A lot of my drive to keep searching was fueled by many of the pieces/conversations/etc. you all have enriched me with. Thanks + cheers! PS. Al, that Haddix of yours would look awfully nice hidden amongst there, no? If you ever sell, FYI - I should've kept it Last edited by ASpaceman; 06-23-2020 at 03:28 PM. |

Mark just for you a little tribute to our friend Mike, and a little push for the pin section. Mike was a big Cubs fan and always loved this piece I have! Enjoy Mike!
