Even if Chadwick didn't score the game, if he added the notations, and that is his handwriting, then that is an extremely significant scorecard. If you can verify that information, you have a real winner- the first game played at historic Washington Park, annotated by Henry Chadwick- boy, you need to play that up.
You know the rule of auctions- hype, hype, hype!

Handwriting
Barry,
I have reviewed many online times written by Chadwick and his writing is inconsistent. Further this scorcard appears to be a mix of printed and cursive writing makes it hard to confirm it's his, some of the letter are spot on, others are different. At this point we can only assert the known, that it is from the historically important first Brooklyn Professional game played at Washington Park and that it did come from the Chadwick Estate. I am in hopes that a more knowledgable than I expert will provide more evidence. Scott

Scott- your best bet would be an autograph guy. It's possible the person who scored the game posted some notes, and then Henry Chadwick added some of his own, thus accounting for the different penmanship.
But as you said, the historic importance of the first game at Washington Park is testament enough.

E122 American Caramel Cobb is actually an E220 National Caramel?
