Okay, after playing around with the image of your pin to produce a (maybe) clearer view of the players, and setting that side-by-side with an enlargement from Hake's book, I see that there is a slight difference between the two. While they clearly use the same composite image of the players and have the same "Buffalo B.B. Club" text at the bottom, it appears that yours has "Photos By F.A. Remington" above that whereas the one in the book has the 1897 date. I'm not quite sure what to make of the difference, but hopefully someone else will be able to elaborate.
