Thanks to our friends at PreWarCards.com, we know that the 1909/1910 Winkelman’s Quaker Bread pin set is a rare minor league issue featuring baseball players from the Memphis Turtles. Pins are similar in nature to the 1910 Morton’s Buster Brown Bread pin set and the 1910 Morton’s Pennant Winners Bread pin set that both featured major league baseball’s Detroit Tigers.

The pins featured black and white player images with the player’s name included. The border of the pin was entirely yellow and had ‘Winkelman’s Quaker Bread, Memphis.’ printed around the edge. At the bottom directly below the player’s picture was a cartoon image of a turtle for the team logo.

To date, only a total of three pins have been found. One identifies a player named Baerwald, who is actually a player named Rudy Bell. The second is a player named Scoops Carey. And the third is offered here, of a player named Bob Coulson. 

We know that Coulson only played with Memphis in 1909, making this set most likely from 1909 or 1910, not from 1919 as PSA has it labeled in the holder. However, regardless of when it's from, the scarcity of this issue far outweighs any flaws on this example. As the only known Coulson pin, obviously PSA has never graded another example, making this EX 5 issue the nicest one in existence.
