Thank you. I have a huge 89 Fleer Bill Ripken collection and the reason I made the replica. It is nothing compared to Mr Pedersons who posed in this thread but better than most.

My first foray into photos. And flickr. Grrr.



Screw flickr. Haha.
1947 WS. JR first steal.

I took a flyer on this....it looked vintage and I hadn't seen it before. Apparently the "Ballou Reg'd" on the clutch may indeed date it to the 1950s.

Rob,
How big is it? FWIW, I believe it's from the 1950's as well.

Very cool piece Rob. What is made of and what do think its purpose was? I have a ceramic shaped glove somewhere bearing the Pirate logo that I always assumed was an ashtray.

It's an inch tall. It's a lapel type pin with a clutch back. Made out of brass?

I right clicked and "searched Google for this image" but all I got is this link that won't open for me?
Not much of a computer guy so I don't know what this means exactly?

First pickup of the month and my last. Photo is Jackie's first steal after walking in his first at bat in 1947 world series. Baseball mag Dec 1947 cover image is of next play in the game: Pee Wee hitting into fielder's choice, Jackie out at third. Mag not in great shape, but I love the consecutive plays story that unites them. Pee Wee advanced to 2b. Would love a pic of him scoring.

P.s. that Tides jersey is GREAT.
