1900s Silver Figural Baseball Music Box

Research, the SCP auction say tmottbg came out in 1908. And then says the music box was earth 1900's. Well it couldn't be earlier than 08
The song didn't become popular until the 20's so the thought that a company would try to sell a music box with a non popular song in 1908 doesn't fit

Sometimes logic works

..yeah, if only more buyers demonstrated logic. I think you give far too much credit to many buyers . If only some people demonstrated half the commen sense and logic and effort to research that you do Jim. Although knowing TMOTTBG didn't become popular untl the 20s requires knowledge beyond just plain logic.

This is one of the my biggest, if not biggest, pet peeves - when AHs list dates that couldn't possibly be true, even based on their own description. I was recently reading a Legenday listing that had an item described as "1890s to 1910", eventhough in their own description they "stated the tag dates the uniform to 1905", well then why the f__k did you say "1890s to...".
