Congratulations, Doug! I'd been dreaming of stumbling upon that game's scorecard for quite awhile and adding it to my collection at a bargain basement price! Amazing find!

I posted this on the March Pick Up thread.

Wanted this one for awhile.

I've had this on my eBay watch list for a few years but finally was able to obtain the program from when Cal Ripken Jr. hit for the cycle on May 6, 1984

Picked up 3 Basketball programs. All of them were from the collection of Artis Gilmore. With the 1970 NCAA final 4 program being the nicest.

I picked up these two last December. I came across the 1947 scorecard first, signed by Mel Parnell, Tex Aulds, and Jake Jones. I figured it was worth checking to see if Aulds or Jones were difficult signatures. The Wikipedia page for Jones was subtitled "World War II flying ace". He was credited with 7.5 kills in the Pacific, and had recieved the Silver Star.

The following day, I picked up the 1946 scorecard, signed by Bert Shepard. Shepard was a P-38 pilot who was shot down over Germany. He survived the crash but lost a leg, which enabled him to be exchanged for a similarly-injured German POW. He got into one game with the 1945 Washington Senators, holding the Red Sox to three hits and one run across five innings.

I don’t specifically try to collect scorecards unless the cover has a star player and/or is just really cool like this 1906 Giants scorecard from a game with Brooklyn and showcases the 1905 World Series champion Giants in a horse drawn carriage!

Looks like a Hooks Wiltse vs. Mal Eason pitching duel.
Very cool scorebook! Thanks for sharing!

Great scorecard Cody!! Thanks for Sharing. The Scorecards from the NY Giants just after the Turn of the century all display well. Pictured are 2 from 1904 as you can see the player photos on the front rotated. The 1905 is from Opening day with Iron Man McGinnity on the mound. My 1906 is from 8/4/1906 Matty pitched and won vs the Cubs. And finally 1897 Giants. I love the cover ( despite a couple of stains) and the game was Giants vs the Spiders with Cy Young on the mound. ( he took the loss).

Found in an old filing cabinet a few years ago by my father, and given to me. His program from Reds vs Mets July 25, 1978 when Pete Rose hits safely in his 38th continuous game breaking the NL hitting streak record of 37 in a row by Tommy Holmes. Scored by my dad, even circling the hit Rose had in the 3rd to break the record.

Question for the Forum - Can one state a significant event is attached to a program if it was not made for a specific game and time, but rather a series?

Example - In the 1970s and 80s, clubs put out programs for series against specific team(s). Let's say a significant event happened in that series such as a 500th Home Run or MLB Debut happened. Since the program was not for that particular game, but rather a 3 game series, is it ethical to state it's attached to the milestone game? Thinking of programs that have their internal scorecards blank rather then filled out at the time of the specific game.

Not sure what the industry norm is, so would like to know your feedback.

Conflating the value of an unscored program because it *could* be attached to an event is a bit weird. I usually just roll my eyes when I see a 48 World Series Indians program with "Doby HR" in the listing title and it's not scored. That feels a bit grifty to me but everyone has different threshold for that sort of thing.

That's all personal feelings though.

There is no industry standard and you can do what you want. If tying it to the series is the best you can do,just list it as such.

Having collected scorecards for a bit. Unscored programs that "COULD BE" from a milestone game are treated very differently by the marketplace. Scored programs sell for a significant premium over Unscored..."Could be" versions. That said if a program itself is scarce and on alot of wantlists once and awhile a couple of collectors fighting it out in an auction happens.

I think listing it as a series is my best bet. Have a handful of pieces I've collected over the years that fall under this category. I'll let the buyer decide if they want it, but not really within my moral compass to deceive someone if it's not plane as day tied to a significant event.
