Other than one of the Sandberg's they are high quality made. I have only seen Cubs. Does anyone know anything about these or have one from a different team? There is also a Ron Cey and a Bob Dernier but I don't have those. A board member graciously sold me the Durham.

These are a little different but came out in 1978 from Sports Pin Assoc.
