I would still love to track down the American League version of this set, if it was ever made? Not really sure, This one was made by Houston Marshall (HM) of Miami Florida. No other info other than I am guessing he made an American league set. Here is a picture of the National League set I have. If anyone has the AL set, please post a picture and contact me.

To narrow down when your set was produced, the D-backs came into the league as of 1998, and the Montreal Expos relocated, becoming the Washington Nationals after the 2004 season, so there's the window.

Just as an aside, he Florida Marlins were renamed the Miami Marlins in 2012, and the Houston Astros were moved to the AL for the 2013 season.

That is really nice!

I wish you luck finding the AL version. That would make for a cool set.

They were supposed to move Miami to the AL so they could face the Cubs in the 2015 series. But noooo, they had to move Houston and then the Cubs had to wait a year. Sorry, Marty.

Here is my personal "elongated" nickel. My "science" experiment in the early 1960's (circa 1963) along the Chicago Northwestern tracks in suburban Chicago...even made it jewelry-ready and wore on a leather shoelace around neck for years.


And you wonder why I am quite familiar of our favorite unmentionable Garage Job imp...

Although this wasn't acquired until very recently, it'll nevertheless serve as a true memento for me, as last year I did drive up to Wyoming just to observe two minutes of totality. That may not sound like much, but it was a singularly awesome and unforgettable experience.

Interesting. Cleveland Oh will be in path of totality in 2024 ( hope I'm still alive). My sister lives in SC and was in totality last year. Her dogs acted weird and the roosters were crowing right before it got dark then after it started to lighten up and that was around 3 pm.

Wyoming's population tripled that day. I was there - we ended up in Lingle.

We were in totality where I live in SC. I only had to go a few feet out the door to see it.

It was actually my second time in totality. I lived in eastern Washington state for the one in February 1979. I was only nine at the time, so it must be said that I appreciated the experience a lot more this time.
