Granted, it was released prior to the round gold base set, and is not related to that set. But it is a nice "mascot head" piece that's pretty affordable.

Mark is right....there were 12 MLB "color bases" done in 1960-61 right before the all white square base series. The Pirates "color base" was gold and the other teams were various colors (Giants were orange). In the later "gold base" series, all were round except (I think) the Orioles and Cardinals...both had bird heads and stood on squareish "baseball base" bases.
