Here is a scan of a Babe Ruth Pin I picked up lately... I was not able to find it in the Standard Catlog of BAseball cards or any of my memorabilia catlogs... Does any one out there know what year this was issued and the set or designation of this pin Thanks Jeff

1938 Quaker Oats Babe Ruth Baseball Club Pin (page 321 in the 2003 SCD Catalog). There are 2 types of counterfeits known (one is a fantasy modern pin with a NY hat and red highlights, other is B&W counterfeit and designed exactly like the authentic pins). SCD says the counterfeit pins are widely seen.

Authentic pins NRMT $135, EX$67, VG $40.

Hope that helps. Frank
