The biggest tipoff of a pin or badge not being vintage is the method by which the pin is attached to the back. Most recent badges have the pin going through an oval plate which is attached to the back. There's also usually an extra curl on the pin wire to protect against the point. Most vintage pins and badges have the pin soldered directly to the back with the point exposed (no protection). Methods of identifying fake Babe Ruth and other reproduction pins and badges can be found on ReproAlert.com.

What is the value of a 1913 Babe Ruth press pin?
Babe Ruth did not start his Major League career until 1914. He did not play in a World Series until 1916 with the Red Sox. World Series Press pins would have been issued in 1916, and not for a player but for the team. It could have been years before a souvenir pin was issued or sold for the then unknown player Babe Ruth. You will have to be more accurate in describing the pin you have. The pin you have could not have been from 1913 or a press pin.

There are many modern reproduction or "fantasy" pins on the market, and are sometimes sold as original to unsuspecting collectors. The original pins, as compared to the reproductions, have a bolder lettering. It is very evident if you hold them side by side. The original pin also has more detail on the "baseball stitching" as it has lines indicating a seam of a baseball, or "pilot holes". The reproduction does not have this feature. See Related Links Below for a comparison of both the reproduction, and the original pin.
