Guys:
Yes, the Grove pin says 1932 on the top. However, Hornsby batted 0.424 in 1924 -- 8 years earlier. So, these pins apparently talked about MLB Leaders over several years. I would think that you would have to look at all 13 pins known to exist before you could figure out the earliest possible year that they could have been issued in.
Because the Hornsby pin talks about a record in 1924 and the Grove pin talks about a record in 1932, I was concerned that the pin set could have been issued much later -- perhaps in the 1950's.
