WOW! Tremendous acquisition Scott... those items really belonged in your collection. What a miracle that they survived, and made it to their proper home!

And kudos to Chris Gamble for enabling it to happen... Just another one of the "good guys" on net54!

Yes! I agree with all of this,

I assume you already knew these medals existed? How many do you think were made and who got them?

Thanks Rob!

I actually did know that this medal existed. Barry Halper owned one which sold in an catalogue auction within the last year. Unfortunately I missed it and have been kicking myself ever since.

However, I did not know that there was more than one until this one became available recently. I don't know how many of these were given out, but I do know that they are scarce, FWIW.

I'm very happy to add this one because it really falls into the sweet spot of my Vander Meer collection-
Everything related to his historic 1938 season in which he threw an unprecedented back-to-back no-hitters.

Scott,
Very nice pick-up for the collection. And Chris very nice of you to offer it up to Scott. I have dealt with both of you guys and find you both to be true class acts!! Al

Default Photobomb

Early "photobomb" picture of a boy behind the chicken wire fence with the biggest smile on his face. Check out the repaired palm patch on glove next to catchers mask! And is that a workman style glove in last picture?
