I would imagine then that this was only available that one day? Or does anyone know if it was sold outside the stadium after the day? I guess I can look back and see what the attendance was that day but to me I would think that it would be a fairly scarce item, no?

Very weird….Retrosheet shows the White Sox playing at home on 5/30/47 and a doubleheader on 6/2/47…..no game on June 1.

I believe it was actually a special event that they invited fans to separate from a game. They had doubleheaders on 5/30 and 6/2 from what I can see so I believe they were actually off on 6/1 and just held it as a special event.

Would make more sense that it was scheduled for June 1, rained out, played as a doubleheader on the 2nd.

That’s a possibility as well.

Pretty good price for this pair.

Got a bunch of new pinback buttons in today and this is probably my favorite one, a 1934 Quaker Oats Babe Ruth club pinback button.

I’ll probably never be able to afford a playing days Ruth Yankees card, but this is the next best thing. It’s cracked and pretty beat up, but it’s real and it’s mine.

These two were free ones that the seller threw in with the Babe Ruth pinback: a 1932 Orbit Gum Jack Burns and 1934 Cracker Jack Wesley Ferrell. Man, these two are rough!
