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. 

Cincinnati catcher Heinie Peitz is represented on this attractive and rare pin, graded GOOD 2 by PSA due to some wear at the right edge of the pin, near the curl.  The Whitehead & Hoag ad on the pin reverse exhibits some staining, with a bit of oxidation on the pin itself.
