Memorabilia is still so under-rated when compared to cards. There was a thread on the other (card) side of the board, in which a few people were actually comparing the rarity and desirability of a Ty Cobb Game-used Bat to his T206 Card. They also commented that a Cobb game-used bat carries little to no historical significance. I guess they think a small cardboard picture of Cobb is more significant than a Bat that he actually wielded.
I know this is way off-topic, but the number of Cobb T206 cards outnumbers his game-used bats by at least 100 - 1. Same can be said for so many other facets of baseball memorabilia, including these magnificent Pins. Thanks for posting the close-ups... salivating even more now!
