A no brainer here as I still have a Hank Aaron PM15 pin that I purchased from a gumball machine back in 1956. These are commonly called 'yellow basepath' pins. I have very fond memories of those wonderful years back in Fergus Falls, MN.

Mark...when I first acquired it I wrapped myself in it and just rocked back and forth until my wife smacked me upside the head and said "get a life!". I have to think this was an expensive pennant as pennants go...even back in the day. But I'm sure many of them were trampled, forgotten in the stands, and thrown out when that child left home. It's amazing any of the pennants from that era survived.

My father gave me his 1940's Phila. A's pennant some years ago. It was nice, had an elephant I think... was navy blue and white. A bit dirty.... I put it in the washer on gentle with woolite... what came out was just a pile of felt ...LOL he never let me forget it!

Over 5 years ago i purchased this, then put in 2_ years of research.
It is a 1914-15 Ty Cobb Gamer. At the time there was questions of its use (due to its original Kork status 40k) by Cobb. 5 years later, after astounding evidence to legitimize use. (let alone all of his characteristics , Length/weight/Twisted tape/Cleat marks) What also was discovered was the fact during this era was the 1st time Players branded signatures were used on the end of the bat. 1 other Cobb during that era recently sold for over $30,000, and currently SCP is asking over 45,000 |

Four commons from the 1962 Topps sixth series. The first pack I ever bought, and I was instantly and forever hooked. No idea where the fifth card went, but I've saved those four all these years. On the memorabilia side, three scored Cardinals scorecards from 1954. Hank Aaron's first home run, and Musial's five homer doubleheader - signed.
