With a date of issue estimated between 1921 and 1924, the 7/8" diameter finbacks feature black and white player portraits surrounded by a bright red border advertising Mrs. Sherlock's Home Made Bread. The set numbers ten pinbacks, and all but one subject (Pat Moran) eventually went on to the Hall of Fame. The key pinbacks are those of Ruth, Cobb and Wagner, of course, with higher-grade examples quite desirable.

PSA has only ever graded 25 total examples of this 1924 Mrs. Sherlock's Bread pin, with only eighteen receiving a higher grade than the EX 5 offered here of Hall of Famer Ty Cobb.
