This magnificent binder, officially authorized by Major League Baseball, chronicles the evolution of the sport through its official team and commemorative patches. But that's not all – it also includes the sought-after "Lost Treasures of Baseball" sheets!

Peek into the Past:

Early Team Emblems: Picture the classic logos of baseball's legendary franchises from the early to mid-20th century. You might find a sharp, felt rendition of the St. Louis Cardinals' iconic birds on a bat or the unmistakable "NY" of the New York Yankees in their pinstripe era. These patches tell tales of legendary players and historic pennant races.
World Series Commemoratives: Relive the thrill of October with patches celebrating pivotal World Series matchups. Imagine owning a patch from the Brooklyn Dodgers' historic 1955 championship win or a vibrant emblem from one of the New York Mets' improbable triumphs. Each stitch carries the weight of dramatic moments.
"Lost Treasures" Discoveries: This is where the collection truly shines! The "Lost Treasures of Baseball" sheets feature patches representing teams and logos that might have been short-lived, experimental, or hold unique historical significance.
