Wow, those are some amazing trophies!
Mark, I love the Ty Cobb sliding and the Spalding batter.
Ricky, your Spaldings are great too, and so is that Murray Co piece -- is it very heavy?
Here are the few that I have, and they pale in comparison. A couple are Silver Glove Awards, the minor league equivalent to the Gold Glove. And the kind of plain ugly loving cup was presented to Jack Barry of the A's before he reached the majors.

A few favorites from my collection.





This large cup has figural bats around the central support.

Mike:

That D&M Trophy is stunning. It really has it all- from the crossed bat support to the loving cup, to the classic D&M Logo Ball, to that great pitcher figural at the top. Also, it may be the nicest conditioned trophy I have ever seen from that era...

Do you have to continually maintain/polish it, or does it just stay that way? Most of these trophies look great with some tarnishing and aging, as it enhances the vintage look and patina. But yours is simply spectacular in its pristine state!

Good question Mark. It is completely tarnished as I look at it over in the corner of my office...ha ha. I've cleaned it a couple times with a very gentle cleaner, but don't keep up on it well. Those pics were taken when I purchased it years ago.

I picked this one up on ebay a couple of years ago. Also came with the original Rawlings box it was shipped in.

Another WB batter...

Joe DiMaggio received one of these and his was auctioned off in the DiMaggio/Hunt Auction a few years back. This stellar example is in NM/MT condition.
