Carlton- Amazing find & thanks for sharing the story behind it.

As a layman, I was wondering, "What's with all the hullabaloo??" I had no idea what this trophy was and found this link, which I will post here for anyone else who might find themselves in the same boat as me…

Sooooo.....fielder, first baseman and catcher. And others? I'd love to see pictures if any of you guys have the others.

Here's the full set.... there's also a Pitcher and a Batter. This was a photo that I'd saved. Perhaps someone can chime in with some better close-up shots.

All of mine are silver, as are 95% of these. The gold version that Carlton found is super-rare. I've only seen 2 others in the last decade.

I didn't want to call you out by name but I figured you'd be the guy

So, all five in a row are Spaldings? Do the pitcher and batter ever come on the rectangular bases or no? What did these cost, from the catalog back in the day?
