Original 1929 Chicago Cubs National League Champions Team Photo Pin
The NL Champion Cubs led by Rogers Hornsby (.380 BA, 229 hits, 39 HR) and managed by Joe McCarthy are shown in an extremely sharp team photograph with terrific resolution. Also included are Kiki Cuyler, Gabby Hartnett, and Hack Wilson . The Chicago Cubs captured the National League pennant in 1929 going 98-54, but subsequently lost the World Series to the Philadelphia Athletics four games to one.
This 2.75" oval ...pin (1.75" high) shows a black and white photograph of the team, with the words " CHAMPIONS 1929 " above and " CUBS TEAM " below. Front is very clean with excellent gloss; when examining the back there are signs of a past bend in the metal along the diagonal that is just barely detectable as a faint line on the front facing. Still a very strong example of its kind. Please see photos for condition detail.
Provenance: Estate collection of a prominent member of the Emil Verban Memorial Society, the invite-only Chicago Cubs fan club of Washington, D.C. that has counted presidents and Supreme Court justices among its members. The collector was closely acquainted with several of the "greats" from the 60s and 70s Cubs, and the collection includes personal letters and items gifted by the likes of Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, etc. I will be listing hundreds of vintage sports memorabilia from his collection in the coming months, including signed balls, photos, sports cards, pennants, etc. This is a CAN'T MISS for Cubs fans and a must-see estate collection for any devotee to the sport, so follow our page and stay tuned!
