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.
