Hall of Fame Pins
I believe these pins were sold at the HOF from the mid 1970's until the mid 1980's. I also believe 40 were made, although I only have 34 in my collection. If anyone has any of the six missing pins and wants to sell them, please let me know. The pins are numbered HF 1 through HF40. High numbered pins (those above 24), appear to be more difficult to find.

Picked these up from N54 a couple of years ago.
The letter was the office copy from the Govenor of Maryland in 1954 making a pitch to Spink of why Home Run Baker should be in the Hall Of Fame. Politics worked, Frank Baker was inducted in Cooperstown in '55 The photo is of Baker relaxing at home w/ his momentos all around him. I wonder where there are now? Would love to have one of those bats, or trophy or a team ball.

Jimmy,
Your collection never disappoints. That stuff is incredible. Mike, Who is the lady in the turtleneck in the second group of pins?  It's hard to believe the HOF couldn't find a better picture of whoever it is?BTW who is missing from your collection? Jay, I used to live on eastern shore of Maryland, near where Baker was from. I always found it surprising that there didn't seem to be a lot of his stuff around there. Great pic though. My contribution to the thread are HOF yearbooks: 1942 Yearbook. Scan is a little big. Size is same as 1946.  1946 Yearbook  1949 Yearbook  1964 Yearbook Silver Anniversary  1966 Yearbook. The first one acquired. Started the whole ball rolling. It has the most sigs.  1977 Yearbook. Second most signatures.  1984 Yearbook. One of the prettiest.  All signatures on books earlier than 1982 were obtained in person, by myself, except for the Kiner on the 1975 book. Those 1982 and later are mixed sources. The rest can be seen here:http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...F%20Yearbooks/

Mark, nice autographs which prompted me to remember this piece I have.
Got all the auto's myself starting in '81 and after a few, i realized that all the players played in 1939 (except for Waite Hoyt who retired in '38) when this stamp/First Day Cover came out for the "alleged" 100th anniversary of Baseball. So my theme was to have all the players who signed be Hall Of Famers and who played in 1939. Now 70 years later, there's no one else I can ever add to it. When I met Ted Williams (Atlantic City show in '88) I handed him the green pen as Ty Cobb often signed items like that. He liked how I knew that and even offered to buy the piece after he signed it.

Mark V.
The lady in the turtleneck is actually Jack Brickhouse. For some reason, when he went in as a broadcaster, he was added to this set. It is an odd addition. I found his pin on ebay many years ago and it is the only one I have ever seen. The ones missing from my collection are Juan Marichal, George Kell, Walter Alston, Hoyt Wilhelm, Lou Brock and HF36 which is an unknown. I've seen photos of the 5 listed above, but have never seen a #36.

Hall of Fame Memorabilia Window Photo
Anyone have any ideas where this elaborate display of Baseball Hall of Fame memorabilia would have been at, in this business window? It shows the flag from the 1939 opening, signed balls next to framed plaques, Babe Ruth's Jersey, doubleday ball, HOF special bats and much more. My guess would be an insurance company right down the street from the Hall?? It is from 1950.
