Lot #292:

1960-65 circa Eddie Mathews (Bat On Shoulder) Milwaukee Braves 3.5”x5.5” Paper Photo W/ Printed Frame Pinback Button (Paul Muchinsky Collection)

This is a very unique item, possibly one of a kind. The image is very similar to the Jay’s Photo Packs sold at Milwaukee County Stadium, but smaller in size. The construction consists of a paper stock photo with a black printed image of Eddie Mathews with bat on shoulder. The photo is framed in a red with white trim felt frame. Three stars top the design, with Milwaukee Braves on the bottom of the frame.

A pinback clasp located at the top of the button completes the design. Button remains in excellent plus condition, with some light cracking to the top and left side of the cardboard frame. Letter of Provenance from the Paul Muchinsky Collection.
