Hey, WELCOME BACK BROCK!
Perhaps you never left, but that was the first I've seen you post in a looooong time! Fantastic collection of Hat Bands. Those are so scarce... I bet yours is the most complete collection of them to exist. My computer screen is crappy and my eyes are getting old and tired. So I can only make out the Tigers and Cubs. Can you post a more close-up photo that clearly shows them all? That's fantastic that you have so many displayed together.
Hank:
I still recall a Mastro Auction in which they had 3 of these (listed as individual lots), and all three sold in excess of $2K. In retrospect, maybe they were shilled up to that level, but who knows? Regardless they are very seldom-seen. I only have the Athletics, and it's actually still attached to a vintage Straw Hat (Connie Mack style...)
