The two pins that you see in the top row are from the 1989 World Series games between the Oakland A's Athletics and the San Francisco Giants. The series is also known as "The Earthquake Series" and the "Battle of the Bay". The pin on the left measures 3 inches across, the pin on the right measures 2.5 inches across.
On October 17, just before the third game of the series a 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit the bay area. The earthquake caused damage to Candlestick Park causing the third game to be postponed until October 27th. The fourth and final game of the series was played the next day on October 28th. At the time, and because of the earthquake, October 28th became the latest date ever for the finish of a World Series.
The ticket stub in the center of my photo, along with the card and pin in the bottom row are from September 1, 1997. It appears that the bottom item has never been used.
Buyer to pay USPS First Class Mail parcel insured delivery charges of $5.75. Shipping is from Nevada.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
