Default Deerfoot of the Diamond

I watched a recent ESPN 30 for 30 Shorts about the life of Louis Sockalexis and being a former Mainer I was fascinated by his story. I purchased a book on Amazon about his life and was in Maine this past month and the wife and I visited his grave site in Old Town, Maine. Am I correct that the 1898 Cameo Pepsin pin is the only rendition of a card/pin available of Sockalexis?

I believe you're right about the pins being it.

So what did you think and take away from his story?

That's it for vintage pieces, pretty sure.

There are 2 different pins made of Sockalexis. The Cameo Pepsin style pin and another picturing him in a suit. Also in 1912 there was a postcard of an older Sockalexis made by an Old Town, ME producer (A.F. Orr).

Less commonly known is a team postcard, a group image postcard, and a postcard of Sockalexis alone made while a member of the Bangor Team in 1907.

For the major leagues, yes. Pretty sure anything else is minors, or maybe semi-pro.

The two pins both date to the time with Cleveland.
