I'm a Giants collector who doesn't mind ruining the value of something to make it a "Giants piece." Here's an example of the Blatz Braves display, after "customization."

I had no idea that a T206 era pitcher grew up in Salida, CO. Two summers ago, I unexpectedly came across Smokey Joe Wood Field in Ouray, CO. Both towns are over 7,000 feet, so that's a short baseball season. It's hard to imagine players growing up at a higher elevation, but I looked it up, and there's one major leaguer from Cripple Creek, CO, which measures over 9,000 feet.

With Carl Hubbell pins selling for $300, and one guy trying to corner the market on everything rare, I haven't had much luck picking up many new pins lately. But thanks to a board member (Thanks Andy!), I have something new and shiny to add to my collection ...
