2014 Topps pin set Rarest pins ever issued by Topps
In 2014 Topps was searching for ways to market items directly to collectors. Started with set of " My Hero" 5x7 and 11x17 The cards were to be limited two ways first numbered to 99 and then only offered for 7 days. The 5x7 's were only sold as a set and cost $100 if I remember correctly with the 11x17's sold individually for about $49. Well being the first it did not go over well. But over time Topps used the leftover 5x7's as gifts at Industry conferences etc. Getting most of theb99 out in the market. Best guess is about 20 sets of 5x7 were sold that week and only a few each of the 11x17's. A couple years ago the 11x17's started showing up on Ebay through a wholesaler that looked like the bought a large group of extra stock of the 2014 My Hero and other issues from 2014. Not all players but most of the set was offered. For between $49 and $99 depending on player.
A few weeks later they offered a set of Buttons / Pins 11 Teams with each team limited to 75 sets. I think each set retailed for $20. So to buy a set you had to lay out $220. Again they did not sell well and over time they were discounted down to $10 then $5 and I think black friday the few left were $2.50. Someone bought a few Pirates and they have been up on Ebay for the last 9 years. But I dont think I have ever seen any other team sets never mind a complete set offered. Anyone else pick these up in 2014? Checklist: Each team had 5 players and a team pin. They were issued in a small white bag with a small tag listing the team inside As you can see they are identified as Topps Pins along the edge. Boston Red Sox Chicago Cubs Detroit Tigers Los Angeles Dodgers Minnesota Twins New York Mets New York Yankees Philadelphia Phillies Pittsburgh Pirates Oakland Athletics ST.Louis Cardinals Last edited by bigfanNY; 04-16-2023 at 07:15 PM. Reason: Forgot the part about the little bag..

Hi Jonathan,
This is an interesting post! Do you know who the other players were for the other teams that you listed? I'm curious as to who they were for future reference... Thanks!

Scott As I mentioned in previous post they were issued in a smal white bag. I have kept my set as issued so the checlist below was compiled by my 62 year old eyes looking at the pins pressed against the bag.
Boston : Bogaerts, Ortiz, Pedroia, Napoli, Cespedes Pirates : Cole, Martin, Alvarez, Marte, McCutchen St.Louis: Lynn, Carpenter, Molina, Wainwright, Holladay Phillies: Rollins, Lee, Howard, Utley, Hamels Tigers: Kinsler, Hunter, Cabrera, Verlander, Martinez Oakland : Moss, Norris, Grey, Reddick, Dinaldson Mets : Wheeler, Wright, Granderson, Harvey, Murphy Twins: Plouffe, Suzuki, Dozier, Mauer, Hughes Cubs: Castro, Lake, Jackson, Rizzo, Wood Dodgers: Kershaw, Puig , Ramirez , Gordon , Gonzalez Yankees See Pic... The Pins are very attractive and designs vary by team. There are some very serious pin collectors on this board as well as very serious Topps collectors so I hoped to see some replies from others who picked these up in 2014 Last edited by bigfanNY; 04-20-2023 at 10:08 AM.
