The PM15 "Yellow Basepath" issue is particularly interesting and condition sensitive as the traditional method of printing pinbacks involved encasing printed paper underneath a celluloid layer. In the case of these pins, the printing is done right onto the metal of the pins, making them extremely susceptible to scratching and wear. Grouping of 11 of these tough pins features a number of Hall of Famers.  Collection includes Ashburn (HOF), Banks (HOF), Berra (HOF), Toby (HOF), Greengrass, Groth, Hodges (HOF), Kaline (HOF), Kleszewski, Minoso (HOF), and Roberts (HOF).  Average grade is VG with some lesser, with the typical surface abrasions on both front and back.  11 pins total.
