Pinback Button Appraisal

George Brett Kansas City Royals Pinback Button

This item is a circular pinback button featuring a portrait of baseball player George Brett, likely from his early career with the Kansas City Royals. The pin has a bright golden-colored metallic rim, which appears to be free of significant dents or corrosion, suggesting it's either well-preserved or made of a non-corrosive material. The central image depicts a younger George Brett wearing a blue baseball cap with a white 'KC' logo and a light blue uniform. Below his portrait, there is a yellow banner with red text that reads "GEORGE BRETT" and, beneath that, a smaller blue banner with "ROYALS" in white text. To the right of the yellow banner, a stylized star emblem in blue, white, and red adds a decorative element, possibly indicating an 'All-Star' or notable status common on sports memorabilia. The colors within the image, particularly the blues and yellows, appear vibrant with minimal fading or discoloration. The surface of the image seems glossy, typical of a celluloid or similar protective coating over printed paper, which also appears to be in good condition without significant scratches, cracks, or yellowing. The overall condition suggests this piece has been well-maintained or stored, exhibiting only minor signs of handling consistent with its age. Based on the uniform and visual style, this item likely dates from the 1970s or early 1980s, during Brett's prime years with the Royals. It represents a collectible piece for sports enthusiasts, particularly fans of the Kansas City Royals or George Brett.
