Exceedingly scarce pin from the 1896-97 Whitehead & Hoag set, commonly known as "Cameo Pepsin" due to the advertisement sometimes present on the reverse of the pins (though the pins are often found with or without Cameo Pepsin advertising). The first large set of pins to feature baseball players, more than 140 subjects are known and more are added to the checklist as they are discovered. Typically subject to image fading and other condition flaws due to age, the pins are quite condition sensitive today. 

Graded AUTHENTIC by PSA, this pinback of Joshua "Jot" Goar is missing its backing paper, but otherwise appears strong.  Goar pitched in three games for the 1896 Pirates, one more for the 1898 Reds, and that was it for his Major League career, though he did latch onto the Indianapolis Hoosiers of the American League in 1900.  A fascinating subject for this set, however, given his brief tenure during the timeline of the set's distribution.
