Acquiring My Holy Grail

[LuckyLarry]

29 different 1964 Topps coins including Mantle, Yaz, Aaron, Mays, and Clemente. All coins neatly "hole-punched" and sewn onto a child sized baseball cap! $21.27 eBay pick-up, they're real and they're spectacular!

That is spectacular, great pickup!

I remember seeing Topps offers for a Big League cap if you mailed them a certain number of wax wrappers. They would send your team of choice. Did wax wrappers from 1963-65 include an offer like this? Maybe this cap is one of those mail-in offers?

Great item....and room for more

A pure guess but the inside of the hat looks 50's. Rick

Larry - I agree they're real ... but they ain't as spectacular as Terri Hatcher!

Cheers,

Well done!

Congrats! So if you got it for $27, I wonder how much your snipe was. :)

I hope that is home made and not something Topps would charge money for in the 60s!

Well my winning bid was $21.27 and I just checked my snipe max was $22.45 so I barely hung on LOL!

Guru, I'm surprised no one mentioned the cooking pot that you are using (presumably) to hold the cap out for display.

Clever usage.

I have to discuss with wifey about using some of the familytoad cookware to display my hats :eek:

I do have many wrinkled cards, perhaps she might let me borrow the flat iron or the panini press.

As always, Larry leads the way in hobby creativity!:p:p
