  • What Makes It Uncommon
    Can you imagine golf with no tees? Or baseball without a glove? Probably not, but our favorite sports didn’t always have the same indispensable gear—someone had to invent it. This 6-month gift subscription treats superfans to some inside baseball (and football, and surfing, and skiing, and…) with remarkable replicas of real patents for iconic inventions that literally changed the game.

    • Each month, your giftee will receive a reproduction of the original patent for an essential piece of sports equipment.
    • Inside every mailing, they’ll find a replica of the real historical document from the U.S. Patent Office, printed on high-quality paper with every word and illustration rendered in painstaking What Makes It Uncommon.
    • Accompanying context pages share the story behind the invention and shed light on the colorful background of our best-loved pastimes.
    • The first mailing arrives via UPS to ensure swift delivery, and the following mailings arrive by USPS First Class Mail.
    • Designed and printed in Illinois.
