Private Collection: 1971 Sunoco Grand Opening Celebration promotion Chicago Cubs Collector Pins

This set of 1971 Chicago Cubs collector pins were part of a promotion for Sunoco gas stations. The collection came in a set of 9 pins in May of 1971.

The person who originally collected this set was a Chicago White Sox fan and lived in LaSalle/Peru, Illinois. She collected them for her son who was a chigaco Cubs fan but lived in Rockford, Michigan at the time and were not available for him to purchase in the 1970's.

He eventually moved to central Iowa where they remained in his collection. When he passed away in 2009 they were inherited by his daughter who was born in November of 1971. The pins are now in a private collection in NW Iowa.

This one was missing. We even looked in the beacon thinking it fell inside. Not there.

Replaced with CO's permission. Good to go for future finds.
