I somehow missed this thread during its first eight years, but I discovered it about two weeks ago. After reading it, I decided I needed one of these beauties for my completely unfocused collection, so I dove into eBay to see what I could find. I really have no idea what they are worth. My search (I tried many keywords) turned up only two of them, an Ernie Banks for $250 and a Vida Blue for $30. Since Vida was one of my boyhood favorites, the choice was easy.

OK....so I'm a little OCD.
Here's the updated updated, properly alphabetized and sub-alphabetized. A's - Blue Brewers - Bristol, Harper, Hogan, Joss, Koslo, Lockwood, May, Pattin, Saunders, Walton. Cubs - Banks, Beckert, Hands, Hundley, Jenkins, Kessinger, Ortiz, Pappas, Pepitone, Popovich, Santo, Williams. Giants - Mays (incl. Friars Club variations), Perry(?). Mets - Seaver. Orioles - Palmer, Powell, B. Robinson, F. Robinson. Pirates - Clemente (Hernandez and Oceak photo proofs seen, but not actual pins). Reds - (Bench and Rose photo proofs seen, but not actual pins) Red Sox - Aparicio, B. Conigliaro, Culp, Griffin, Josephson, Kennedy, Petrocelli, Scott, Yaz. Senators - McClain, Howard(?). White Sox - Richard Looks like 41 known, with Howard and Perry rumored. Size, pose, finish and/or whether they have the facsimile autograph can vary.

If anyone ever runs into any of the guys in this set, they should ask that guy if they remember anything about these photo shoots. Who, when, where?

The 1971 Billy Williams 3.5" glossy pin from the same seller sold for $130, I would have bid a lot more on it but I wanted to make sure that I won the 1970 MLBPA b&w pin of Johnny Callison from the same seller that unfortunately ended after the Williams pin and I had no idea how high the bidding would go on it. At least I finally got the Callison Cubs pin after several years of getting outbid on it and replaced my 1970 Randy Hundley MLBPA b&w pin that rusted out on me from that estate auction.

Someone got a wonderful early Christmas present on this $15 eBay Buy-It-Now . I don't know how many times over the years on eBay I have seen an uninformed seller lose big money on a way too low Buy-It-Now or if someone who knows what the item is really worth gives them a lowball offer and they take it. I admit that I have taken advantage of both when I have had the opportunity so I guess I can't complain.

The mystery just keeps getting bigger. One might think there is some connection to the Chicago area given the large number of Cubs and Brewers. There’s a pin of Jose Ortiz for goodness sakes! Talk about obscure. Yet the White Sox only have Lee Richard. Another obscure player. And the Red Sox are well represented. One Met and one Dodger now known and no Yankees. Very strange. Looking forward to seeing if more examples surface.

I’m sure one of you guys saw this, but there was a Cubs player button from this series that was pinned on a pennant I came across. There was another button too, but not from this series. It was on eBay last week I believe.

Wow! They look good on the front but the backs would be the proof. The photos on the Bench and Rose pins look very clear and not like laser copies.

I think they are legit. I am unable to show pics at the moment but the facsimile signature on the Bench proof on the first page is in a different location than on the Bench pin, I think if someone made a bootleg pin from the Bench proof pic the facsimile signature would be in the same exact location as the proof pic.

Rob, post it or it doesn’t exist.😂
Wish we had a montage of all the pins by team to go with our list. I really like looking at them. Beautiful little items.

I obviously wish I had a better one with signature. Both are 3" matte finish.
