1965 Old London Baseball Coin Pin Jim Bunning Detroit Tigers Topps PSA 9 MINT

Description: Check out my E-Bay Store for High Grade Vintage Coins and Pins! 1965 Old London Baseball Coin Pin Jim Bunning Detroit Tigers Topps PSA 9 MINT Made by Space Magic Ltd., the 40-piece 1965 Old London MLB set gives collectors a decent range of players to choose from. The Canadian-based company also manufactured the much more well known 1964 and 1971 Topps Baseball insert coins, all 1-1/2 inches in diameter, and metal. Finding any of these “Space” products in nicer shape seems to become more challenging and more expensive with each passing year. While the ’64 and ’71 Topps coins landed in card packs in their birthday suits, the unnumbered Old London coins arrived individually wrapped in cellophane, nestled amongst the tasty snacks. Since Old London had a 1964 “Rocky and Bullwinkle” coin set, highlighting the cartoon, for instance, and those appear to have at least come out with potato chips, it is likely Old London used the same distribution channel for the ’65 baseball coins. Searches for images of containers advertising the coins came up emptier than a snack-size bag of chips with a few remaining crumbs discovered crumpled up in one’s coat pocket. These 1-1/2" diameter metal coins were included in Old London snack food packages in 1965. The 40 coins in the set feature two players from each of the major leagues' 20 teams, except ST. Louis (3) and the New York Mets (1). Coin fronts have color photos and players names, while the silver-colored coin backs give brief biographies of each player. An Old London logo is also displayed on each coin back. Space Magic Ltd. produced the coins. This is the same company which produced similar sets for Topps in 1964 and 1971. These coins are very difficult to find in High Grade condition due to rusting and scratching. These coins are similar to the Pins, Chips, Disc, Topps, Armour, Jello, Salada, Shirriff and Old London coins in the 1960’s but are much scarcer. Shipping is $2.95 for the first coin and $1 each additional coin. Insurance is automatically added free of charge on orders over $100. Free Shipping for Multiple Orders over $100.
