Great pick up Rob. Have never seen this with the trophy. Probably one vendor had the trophies and decided to add them to stand out. I found it interesting in Paul's book that he said ribbons or charms on a pinback did not add value, yet this particular Giants pin is valued at $35 in the crossed bat section, and $1000 in the World Series section with the added ribbon. I actually asked him about this one time and his answer was long and confusing. I decided to drop it and move on.
