Motown Golden Era Fan Club Buttons

[nsoule]

The Motown Museum has or at least had the buttons for a while. A friend of mine got the Jr. Walker one a little less than two years when he came to visit for the Motown A-Go-Go event at Bert's. It could've been a "reprint" or something, but the back had oxidation to the metal and it was the old style where the back doesn't have a clasp and you're supposed to bend the pin under the back fold of the button.

I have some of the wallet-size fan club photos and the same Miracles membership card that Darin has. I would love to see the mobile kit, but I don't know what I would do with it given the chance to own one... I think my grail from those inner sleeves ads is the "The Sound Of Young America" pennant.

I stopped by the museum's gift shop on my way home today, and I can say that they definitely don't have them anymore. Hopefully this post will prevent some unnecessary adrenaline rushes and speeding down the boulevard that I might've caused with my last post.
