McLaren made several pins. I have photos of most.

There is an "F1" pin in red, black and green, as well as a special one that is sort of a metallic orange like the color of the last F1 produced.

There is a larger gold plated "F1/240mph" pin made to commemorate the top speed achievement.

There are "GTR" pins in black and yellow like the one in that auction.

There is a yellow "LM" pin.

There are two Ueno Clinic pins - one with just the car like the one in that auction, and another with the car above a wreath that reads something like "Winners - 1995 24Hrs of LeMans" below it.

There may be others, but those are the ones I can recall off the top of my head.

Thanks for the offer Andy, but I do already have one of those in my collection. I'd still suggest selling the 'LM' one even without the backer which someone should have no trouble replacing. I know I paid the most money for my LM one and wouldn't have hesitated to buy one without the backer, especially if it could have been had a little cheaper.

I'll put up a shot of the "F1/240MPH" one later for you. It's pretty cool but I have only seen it offered once or twice.

I also owe you a PM in regards to the San Miguel calendar. I appreciate you saving that for me and even remembering that I wanted it. :thumbsup:

The car pin looks pretty bad. The others look nice, although I don't see the point of walking around with a pin that says "LM"...do people actually wear such stuff? Or is it just another collector's item?

I bought the standard "F1" pin in an orange-red color and the froggy pin that it came with didn't fit well. I used another one from my cadet corps days and a little piece of cardboard sandwiched in between. It's a much tighter fit if you plan on putting it in a display box.

I always wanted that Ueno-Clinic one since #01R is my favorite chassis of all. They are super rare though and very expensive for such an item to boot.
