Yeah... I do remember how much he loved that one. Maybe he finally reeled one in, wherever he is now (see attached sign below!)

Default 1990 Giants Pins Dravecky miracle comeback

Another re-discovery during the quarantine lock-down. 1990 Giants pins along with gas station "header" card promoting the pins and commemorating Dave Dravecky's amazing comeback. The two pins shown are "I've got a Giant Attitude" and "The Miracle - Dravecky". Not certain how many pins were in the promotion.

I also posted this in the advertising signs thread, but since it's "pin" related, I'll add it here as well. Another Union Oil window display for Dodger's 100th anniversary Pin give-away. I also had the opportunity to have several Dodger's sign next to pins most closely associated with their tenure. Sadly, there's a fading Sandy Koufax between the two lower left pins. Should have brought a new sharpie. The reverse has a Wes Parker signature. Not sure why I had him sign it there.

Thanks Hank. I had forgotten I had it since there are very few Southern California shows anymore and no opportunity to get signatures. I can't even remember getting players like John Roseboro, Pee Wee and Erskine to sign it. But glad I did.

I know the 1978-198? numbered pins have virtually no respect and the later ones are very cheaply made, but many of them are incredibly rare and impossible to find. Being a Cubs collector, ever since learning of the existence of this 1982-83 Fergie Jenkins numbered pin five years ago or so I have kept an eye out for it but no luck. Recently a seller on eBay put up his Cubs pin collection that he got from Wrigley Field vendors as a kid in the early 80's for a hefty price, I offered him a ridiculous sum for just the Jenkins pin and thankfully he accepted.

I was fortunate to pick up this early 1950s Ralph Kiner Pin for a very affordable price. Always liked it, given the cool colors and the fact that virtually all other offerings at the time were just Black & White.

The fact that Kiner is a Hall of Famer makes it just that more special...

I totally get where you’re coming from!

P.S. even though I’m not a Cubs collector, I’d love to see a link to the whole collection.

It won't be anytime soon, but I could certainly take pics of each subset and post them.

The only interesting ones in it were the Jenkins pin and a Santo pin, the rest were commonly found 80's pins.

Mark, I might have been the underbidder on the Kiner pin. I looked it up, and it was made just before Kiner held out for a bigger contact. Instead of giving it to him, the Pirates traded him to the Cubs, along with the pins they just made. I understand the pins didn't sell very well because Kiner wasn't wearing a Cubs jersey, but they couldn't have made too many, because if they did, they'd be easier to find. I'm still looking for one ...

Good info... thanks Chris.

There are a couple of them on eBay right now. Priced higher, but with a "Best Offer" option. It may be tough to find another for the relatively low price I paid. If it makes you feel any better, my snipe was 2 1/2 times the final sale price.

Hey guys - quick question re: storage.

I've looked and looked - but, am unable to find 2-piece plastic cases that could house 3'' or 3.5'' pinbacks.

Does anyone have a vendor they work with?
And/or what do you use to store your larger pieces (aside from chipboard boxes)?

Thanks in advance!

Great thread. I've gotten hooked on pinbacks (see what I did there) after picking up my first 2 recently.

I'm waiting on a few Sweet Caporal pins to be delivered too.

I'm in learning mode at the moment. I'll only dabble here and there while I build up some knowledge about the market. Other than net54 and Paul Muchinsy's book are there pinback websites that you guys recommend?

Edward,
Probably a political pin looks 30s t0 50s was probably used for the play on words (majer) (major) to boost his campaign .. I dont believe there ever was a player named Majer in pro ball...

Yes there was! They ended up with some of my money... But I will say I wasnt in on the Alpen Brau Babe Ruth Pin! With the juice it went over 60,000 Dollars! For a pin that has to be a record! But Rob you are correct some very STRONG prices on the pins! The Mickey Mantle fan club finished over 20,000 Dollars not to mention the fan club card at 7,000..... I was talking to one of the Hakes people on the phone during the auction and he said they have enough pins for 4-5 more auctions... Stay tuned!

I made a rookie mistake on the “so long, Giants” pin and didn’t get it.

Just got this pin which was sold as being about Hank Aaron. That is of course possible since 1954 was his rookie year. I actually purchased it thinking it might refer to Hank Sauer who had a great year for the Cubs in ‘54. Even though it’s a long shot, anyone have any information on this pin?

The pin refers to Hank Greenberg when he was general manager of the Cleveland Indians. I cannot remember where online I saw it, but there is a collector with the original cardboard backing that came with the pin when it was issued by a Cleveland newspaper. The newspaper was showing its support for Greenberg as GM.

Thanks so much for the great info. This site has the greatest collective knowledge in the world when it comes to memorabilia. Never ceases to amaze me.

Really Mike? You kinda knew it wasnt going to be cap pistol territory!I was happy to get away with my life in there! I spoke with one of the reps on the phone the night of the bidding and he told me ALL of his pins will be going up for sale the family changed its mind about the trust and wanted to sell everything so stay tuned 4-5 more auctions will be done!

Just heard from my friend and Indians super-collector, Rob Dewolf...

Rob actually has the Greenberg Pin with its scarce original backing. Unless the quote above references someone else, this example might be a lone survivor...

But Rob you are correct some very STRONG prices on the pins! The Mickey Mantle fan club finished over 20,000 Dollars not to mention the fan club card at 7,000..... I was talking to one of the Hakes people on the phone during the auction and he said they have enough pins for 4-5 more auctions... Stay tuned!
I heard a while ago that Muchinsky had left directions that his collection not be liquidated until his grandchild (who was only 1-2yrs old at the time) was 18 and in college. You mentioned they have enough for 4-5 more auctions, I wonder if they meant in the near future?

There's actually no link. This item is in Rob D's personal collection. He sent me the image, which is what I posted. So that's all we've got!

That was the story...I heard it from Paul’s son, too...but the story has obviously changed, at least a little bit.

Hopefully that is true. I’d love to see more of the pins in the book become available. This week’s group was certainly impressive. Maybe the high prices will motivate the family to liquidate more.

From what I was told Hakes has all of Pauls pins in their possession ... He also told me there will be some regular internet auctions coming up with the smaller priced pins......

As some of you may know, I collect Giants memorabilia...pennants, nodders, figurals, paper, pins, etc. Currently, pins may be my favorites as I am 99% complete on nodders and the few pennants I am after are either non-existent or out of my budget. I probably have 900 Giants pins and I can go months without seeing one I "need." I was thrilled to find three new ones, all last week. 3", 1.75" and 1.5". I'm curious what Al has to say about the Mays. The image was used for the Dexter Press premiums 1967-68 and the Transogram cards 1969-70. I would call the pin a vintage bootleg...it's not part of any set I know of but I think it dates to around 1970 and I've seen it before.

Hi Rob,
Well as you know I would like to see the back of the pin also as it tells me alot, but on alot of those pins I wouldnt use the word vintage. Bootleg,fantasy, or just a one or few offs. As we have seen many pins are taken from Baseball card fronts and people with pin making machines have cranked these out lately like crazy....Now as a collector like yourself a nice image mays pin is great for your collection as for a value 3-5 dollars? And that would probably be the value for the rest of its life.....A collector pin with very minimal value... But we all colect what we love and if thats your thing that just fine! enjoy them!
