Don't see them anywhere in the guides. The Diamond Gums I can find (at least in the guides.....anyone got any for sale?). Any info on the Mascots appreciated including value?

Posted By: <b>Brett Domue</b><p>Tom,<BR><BR>According to the Sports Collector's Bible, the Mascot Gum pins were issued in 1910 or 1911 and all pins picture members of the Rochester team. The set is PE-3 in the bible, PE-1 in the ACC.<BR><BR>The players are:<BR>Anderson, Blair, Holmes, Lafitte, McConnell, Manning, Moeller, Moran, Osborne, Ragon, Savidge, Simmons, Spencer, Tooley<BR><BR>As for value, I would guess around $100 would be the "book" value...slightly less than the common Major League players in the closely related Diamond Gum set ($150), but more than the more common (and recent) Mrs. Sherlocks and Kolb's Mothers' ($50-60). These might be tougher than the Diamond Gums, but the demand has got to be far less...<BR><BR>Brett<br><br>Brett Domue<BR>okeedokee@pipeline.com<BR><a href="http://members.aol.com/METSBWD/wantlist.htm" target=_new>http://members.aol.com/METSBWD/wantlist.htm</a>

Posted By: <b>Brett Domue</b><p>I see that the pin you have in the scan is not one of the ones in the Bible, so I guess that's at least one more. Does anyone have or know of any others besides Batch and the ones in the SCB?<BR><BR>Brett<br><br>Brett Domue<BR>okeedokee@pipeline.com<BR><a href="http://members.aol.com/METSBWD/wantlist.htm" target=_new>http://members.aol.com/METSBWD/wantlist.htm</a>
