Frank Selee Rookie
 

If anyone noticed, in the large 1896-97 Whitehead and Hoag pin lot in the latest Heritage Auction there was a new discovery, a Frank Selee pin. This is the first individual baseball item for Selee, I believe, and it predates the Allegheny card by at least 7 years.

I did see that and updated my checklist a few days ago. Bidding has been strong on that lot. I actually have a "One Time Starch" Pin that I consigned to Al at Love of the Game. Who knew that another 85 would show up after there were only three known previously (according to Olbermann's write-up on the 1896-97 Pin Set)? I guess my pin was a little late to the big party!!

I saw it too. Nice, well contrasted picture. Would love to own it!
