Nine of the ten 1924 Mrs. Sherlock’s pins featured enshrinees of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. These desirable 7/8” pins hosted a blue-and-white central headshot against a white background, surrounded by a red perimeter. With only 203 examples ever graded by PSA, these coveted pins are bona fide rarities. This incredibly high-end 1924 Mrs. Sherlock’s Babe Ruth pinback presents a snow-white background to assist in highlighting the blue-tinted portrait of The Babe. A vibrant and bright red Mrs. Sherlock’s advertisement encircles the image, and a clean, well-centered back paper remains intact. With contemporaries that include Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Walter Johnson and Honus Wagner, the mighty Babe Ruth continues to be the most coveted and sought-after pinback in the set, making this Near-Mint issue one for your high-end collection!
