Delicate and beautiful the PM1 "Ornate Frame" pins are more jewelry than sportscard featuring a small (the pins measure about 1" x 1 1/8") photo of a player with his name underneath surrounded by an "ornate" metal frame. Incredibly scarce the manufacturer of the pins along with their original method of distribution remain unknown. A recent discovery of nine mint-condition examples show that the pins were initially affixed to 2x2" blank cards with the frame a lighter gold color. Most frames oxidized over the years with toning inevitable with the images result in condition issues that are not only accepted with this issue but taken for granted.This pin of Frank Chance is in excellent condition with less oxidation and tarnish than we are accustomed to seeing on the frame and only slight bending around the center of the player image (which does exhibit some slight toning or fading along the right side). The pin itself is intact.
