I've always been drawn to the MLB lifetime passes. Just picked up these two issued to
Al Simmons.
The paper passes didn't survive in as many numbers as the metal passes. The gold pass for Simmons is actually made of 10 karat gold.
If you like these kind of passes, there are many more on the
CooperstownExpert.com site on
this page.
Players' passes there include Simmons,
Sliding Billy Hamilton,
Bobby Wallace,
Stan Coveleski,
Joe Sewell,
Ned Garver,
Harvey Haddix,
Dick Williams,
Dave Parker,
Minnie Minoso,
Joe Cronin, and
George Boomer Scott.
Also there are letters from
Honus Wagner,
Walter Johnson, and
Fred Clarke thanking
Ford Frick for their passes.
Lifetime passes to the Hall of Fame issued to
Early Wynn and
Joe McCarthy are also on the page.
If you go to
the site, search for your favorite player and check it out. Thanks for looking.
