Thanks Rob, Clint and Mike!
Mike, if you own those Vandy and Reds pins, they are truly in AMAZING condition. Very nice!

Mike, regarding the relative scarcity of the 1939 Vandy 1.5" pin:
Just speculating here, but these were likely produced for the 1939 World Series.
Despite Vandy's spectacular and storied 1938 season in which he tossed the back-to-back no-hitters, he struggled mightily during his 1939 sophomore season.
So much so, that he was sent back to the minors to work on his mechanics. He played a very limited role with the 1939 ML Reds club & actually did not play in the WS.
Perhaps the limited production was due to some/all of these factors, but I guess we will never know...
