Hi Keith,
Thanks for resurrecting this thread and for the kind words. I enjoyed looking at your site.
You're 100 percent correct that I got some of the phantoms from Bob. I vividly remember about 6-7 years ago the Saturday morning I got up and saw that they had just been listed on eBay. I didn't know what to think because I'd never seen them before. He only had one of the '54s listed, and after I spoke with him on the phone, he mentioned the other one. I was pretty happy he sold me all the Indians he had. Just a case of fortunate timing on my part.
I still haven't added a celluloid 1920 Cleveland World Series press pin to my collection (haven't even seen one come up for auction). This past spring I was lucky to find sort of a "placeholder," which is shown below. Though it's not a press pin, it is celluloid, it's from Cleveland and from 1920. Three out of four isn't bad, I suppose.
Again, thanks for the nice comments.
Rob
