Beautiful pass there for BJ Upton. Once MLB did away with league presidents and combined them to the commish's office, a lot changed. The new passes are directly from Selig's office.

These may end up difficult to date later if the service milestone of 8 years gets forgotten in history. There's no facsimilie signatures to help the dating process.

Here are a couple more parts to add. The first image is a little note that accompanied the paper passes. The second image is a note that came with the metal passes.

The third image is the back of the Cronin pass. Of all the passes I have and have seen it's the only one with any sort of writing on the back.

By the way, thanks for the thread, Leon. It's neat to see these and interact with everyone.
