World Series Press Pins III - 2020

Press pins have been around since the 1911 World Series. Which means there is one for every Brooklyn & Los Angeles appearance. They are small and great items for collectors who do not have a lot of space, like me, to display their Dodgers related stuff. When collecting, the first thing popping in my mind is: COLLECT THEM ALL! In the case of press pins that will never work for me since some of them are quite expensive. The 1916, 1920 pins probably will set you back at least $2000 each. Maybe if I win a lottery, but for now I decided to try to get my hands on one pin for every decade our boys played in the World Series. That comes to 7 press pins: one from the 1940’s, 1950’s, 1960’s, 1970’s, 1980’s, 2010’s and 2020s. 

I did some research and have decided on the ones I want, if I can get my hands on them. They are the ones I think are the most interesting of their decade. First I got my hands on the 1947 and 2017 pins. Read my blogposts about those Press Pins  HERE and HERE. Recently my third pin arrived. 

For the 2020’s I didn’t have much of a choice. It’s because I found it at a reasonable price I decided to buy it. It’s quite unimaginative to say the least.
We see a home plate with at the top the words ‘world series’. The Dodgers script is in white on a dark blue background. In the background, in black, we see ‘a piece of metal’, better known as the commissioners trophy.
On the silvercolored back, under the pin which has a butterfly clutch, are the words:

WINCRAFT / MLBP
WINONA, MN
800-533-8006
MADE IN CHINA

It’s a surprise it’s this bland, after two great designs for the 2017 and 2018 World Series. Still, it’s the first one I own of a World Series they won. Hopefully I’ll be able to replace it with a better designed one somewhere along the next eight years.
