1966 Guy's Potato Chip Pin Back Help ??

thedutymon

Evening,

So my brother calls me over to his house to look through a bunch of old Hardback Books (1855-1900) first prints, he is thinking of clearing out some of his fluff, his fluff is First Print 1800's Moby Dick, 1950's Hemingway compilation first print, with three stories never before published, we're talking $5K-$20K books. Wish I had his collection problems!!!

So anyway as were talking his wife says she has a bunch of Campaign pins from like Nixon/Agnew and Ford, ect, new stuck to a cardbaord piece she hasn't looked at in like 30-40 years. I sadly inform her that they are probably mostly worthless, but pull then out and lets look. What she didn't mention is that pinned to the same board, brand new, fresh are about 15 different Guy's potato chip pin backs. I have never seen them before, but have heard of them. I have Cubs, Phillies, Cin Red legs, ect. I see PSA Mint 9's with asking prices on Fee-bay of $80-$100. So best case scenario what do I look for in subbing these, I understand that I probably won't get 9's but if I can turn these into NM-MT 8's $20-$30 each I would be more than happy.

So how and what do you look for in a Pinback?

Thanks

Neil

Neil -

I don't have much experience with these but from what I've seen what you think is a 6 is usually a 7 and what you think in a 9 is usually an 8 -- no idea why.

I'm very familiar with Topps coins and centering definitely matters -- I expect the same holds true for pins.
