Indian Fever

Player pinbacks

Pinbacks of Indians players can be found in a variety of styles and sizes. Carrying a catalog designation of "PM-10s," these pinbacks typically were sold at Cleveland Stadium and outside the ballpark by independent vendors. Common examples from the 1950s can be purchased for as little as $10, while scarcer varieties easily can command $500 and up.

Pinbacks often are found with "trinkets" and ribbons attached. I think it's the opinion of most advanced pinback collectors that these "add-ons" in reality add little to the value to a pin, the thinking being that it's very easy to attach a decoration and hard to tell whether these attachments are orignal or were added years later.

A collection of postcards, pinbacks, pennants and whatever else seemed like a good idea
