No doubt.... It is the BATTER Trophy
Here is how they rank in terms of scarcirty (I have given this lots of thought through the years...)
1. Batter
2, Catcher
3. Pitcher
4. 1st Baseman
5. Fielder
The Catcher usually sells for the most, as collectors seem to like it best. Plus, there are lots of other vintage Batter, Pitcher and Fielder Trophies out there (although few are as nice as the Spaldings). Many fewer Catcher figurals exist.
For those 2 reasons, the Catcher usually realizes the highest price. Plus, it's just a great looking figural. But after tracking these things for nearly 2 decades, I am positive that the Batter is the most seldom-seen of the five.
