Similar ones that were akin to the size stated for the Phila A's were gifted to players, etc during reunions in the 60's

I recall hearing the same thing about 15 years ago. Not sure if it applies to this particular piece, but is a potential scenario.

Wouldn’t most of these guys have been in their 70s to 90s (or already dead) in the 1960s? As such, realistically, how many players would have even shown up for a reunion say even in 1960? Would it have even been worthwhile to print these for a reunion? Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

I think I read it in a Mastro or Leland’s description back in the day. Could have been 1950s as opposed to ‘60s… not positive.

My source was Eddie Collins Jr.

Died in 1951. Why would he be invited to any reunions in the 1960s?

Eddie Collins Jr. Died in 2000 and I imagine he would have been invited to a number of occasions where his dad and / or the teams he played on were honored.
