With the cancellation of the 2020 Little League World Series, I’ve been looking around for some alternative sources to obtain new pins this year. eBay has always been an option, but the Little League Pin Traders Club group on Facebook can be an equal or even better source.
Everyday collectors are posting pictures of their pins looking to trade. Upon joining, I came to realize how many pins I didn’t know existed. That’s the thing about Little League pins. You can go many years without knowing that certain pins exist. There is no official release date and/or checklist. In addition to that, the quantities are all different.
Did you know there are some Little League pins that look just like packs of old baseball cards? Organizing a trade using one of my Sports Card Info pins, I was able to obtain (2) pins that look like packs of 1954 Bowman Baseball. One of them is green, and the other is red.
These pins aren’t small either. They’re made of metal, and are about the size of a normal pack of cards. High-quality and very heavy. I had no clue they existed until I joined this group. Other baseball card pack pins I’ve seen include 1952 Bowman Baseball and 1963 Topps Baseball.
Its interesting when the sports card hobby collides with the pin collecting world.
