Outstanding collection of All-Star game press pins from the tremendous collection of former broadcaster Ted Patterson. Ted's collection encompassed more than 100 pims in total including All-Star Hall of Fame and World Series pins among others many obtained in person when Ted attended or covered the games others obtained in trade with fellow broadcasters. Immensely proud of his pin collection they were stored and displayed in a glass end table that we actually had to break in order to retrieve the pins! Presented here is a large run of 40 pins spanning the time between 1960 and 1999 with two additional modern pins added to help round out the run. The collection includes pins from the following games: 1960 (Kansas City) 1960 (New York) 1961 (Boston) 1961 (San Francisco) 1962 (Washington) 1963 (Cleveland) 1964 (New York) 1965 (Minnesota - two different) 1966 (St. Louis) 1967 (Los Angeles) 1968 (Houston) 1969 (Washington) 1970 (Cincinnati) 1971 (Detroit) 1972 (Atlanta - missing backing) 1973 (Kansas City) 1974 (Pittsburgh) 1975 (Milwaukee) 1976 (Philadelphia) 1977 (New York pendant) 1978 (San Diego) 1979 (Seattle) 1980 (Los Angeles) 1982 (Montreal) 1983 (Chicago) 1985 (Minnesota) 1986 (Houston - missing backing) 1987 (Oakland) 1988 (Cincinnati) 1989 (California) 1990 (Chicago) 1991 (Toronto) 1992 (San Diego) 1993 (Baltimore) 1994 (Pittsburgh) 1995 (Texas) 1997 (Cleveland) 1998 (Colorado) and 1999 (Boston).
