Looks like a really nice piece. How did Goodwill end up with it?

Not baseball memorabilia, but when growing up my family had a real cool mid- sixties James Bond Road Race set, complete in the box that had a color photo of Sean Connery as J.B. When the family moved out of the house that I grew up in we donated it to Goodwill. And of course kicked ourselves since then...so valuable things can end up in thrift stores.

I'm ok with outing this auction--the money is going to a good cause.

Years ago I bought some stuff from a guy who dealt memorabilia out of his house. I think I bought a set of Nedicks baseball cups and probably some other inexpensive stuff.

He also dealt in toys and had 5 cases of those race sets brand new He'd bought them from a toy distributor who'd overstocked them when they were new.

I think it is an original. I have a beautiful reproduction of this item and I have to believe that anyone who would go to the trouble of distressing the piece and placing it in an antique frame and offering it to Goodwill would not be offering a fake to the public.
Just my 2 cents. Hope it goes for a nice price because the cause is a good one.
