Trying to enjoy baseball in the 40s after WWII must have been really hard as they were devastated a country and attempting to rebuild.

Even though it isn't a particularly valuable piece, it is one of those oddball things/items that usually gets my attention. And though not super valuable, not everyone has one. And thus, the beauty of collecting, at least to me. That is one of those items that a collector can still look at and acquire for a very reasonable price, and thus is one of those things that still makes this such a great hobby.
