About the Trophy<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Balfour Trophy, also known as the “original Commissioner’s Trophy,” was introduced in 1978 and used until 1999. It features a circular base with golden flags representing each MLB team, and a central baseball flanked by upright pins. This version is distinct from the post-2000 redesign and holds special significance for collectors focused on 80s and 90s baseball.<\/span><\/p>\n
