Default net 54 type collection - PART 2

The Peck and Snyder card is a photo of the 1869 Red Stockings, the first baseball team that was entirtely professional (they all got paid). Mine has an ad back, pressumably a characature of Mr. Peck, and the names of the players on the front; Hal's has the names of the players on the back, and is considered somewhat rarer.

The PE2 Diamond Gum Pin, less than 1 inch in diameter, came out in 1911, and celebrates the victory of that year of the Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series. Many subjects are members of that team.
