Here you go...i figured our resident Greenberg collector may know something about this item:
View attachment 68662

Thanks for posting! This pin is from 1938, a set called "Our National Game". These are more sought after with a good quality piece of cardboard that houses the pin. The set is about 35-40 players deep, and the pins are a bit condition sensitive.

I bought mine during the 2013 National. It's a really fun an interesting piece!

Thanks for the info! You can definitely tell how condition sensitive they are when you look them up on eBay. Do you happen to recall how much you picked yours up for?

I paid $35 for mine in good condition.

Thanks Scotty, I've been trying to figure it out as well. It's from 1979 TCMA, and is a checklist of cards 1-49. Hank was very tall for his time, listed at 6'4" he faced a lot of teasing about his build in high school.

Guys, that card is a checklist card for the "Galasso Greats" set :) .

Incredibly rare 1964 Topps Rookie All Star Banquet card featuring Hank. This card is part of a 35 card set that was used as the program for that night's event, which was only distributed to those who attended, so you can imagine really how scarce these are.

This may be the second or third I've ever seen, and one of only 6 graded by PSA, none graded by SGC (yet ;))


Such a cool pickup. Those AS banquet cards are rare and cool!
