The charm is definitely rarer than the more common glove/bat/ball but not exceedingly so. It might add a little bit to the pin’s value. I’m as interested as you to know if this is a rare pin or just another crossed bat...

It is not rare. And it is shown in Paul’s book. The charm is also not that hard to find. Have several pins with it attached.
