Detroit Tigers Pins Appraisal

2007 Detroit Tigers Officially Licensed Pin Collection (Ivan Rodriguez, Mike Maroth, Magglio Ordonez)

This set contains three individual enamel lapel pins from the 2007 Detroit Tigers 'Officially Licensed Pin Collection,' distributed through a partnership with the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News. The pins feature prominent players from the 2007 roster: Ivan Rodriguez (Catcher), Mike Maroth (Pitcher), and Magglio Ordonez (Right Fielder). Each pin is constructed of die-cast metal with a colorful enamel finish, displaying a circular portrait of the player alongside their name, position, jersey number, and the iconic 'Old English D' team logo. The pins are mounted on their original dark blue cardboard backing cards, which are protected by clear plastic cellophane wrapping. The packaging includes the official MLB hologram sticker for authenticity, the original promotional price of $2.99, and the slogan '22 PINS TO COLLECT.' The condition appears to be 'New Old Stock' (NOS), as they remain in their original factory-sealed retail packaging. There is negligible wear to the cardboard edges, and the enamel surfaces appear vibrant without visible chipping or oxidation. These items serve as significant memorabilia from the post-2006 World Series era of Detroit Tigers baseball, representing a high-quality promotional series intended for mass collection.
