Show-n-tell unique "goodies"

I was set-up at the annual HOF weekend Cooperstown Show in 1991, and a fellow "walked-in" with this gem.
He had an idea what it was worth and he wanted to trade it for pre-WWII BB cards.

I was very interested in it, especially since I had just read a book about the year there was no Major League
World Series. In 1904, Mgr. John McGraw of the NY Giants (NL Champs) refused to play Boston (AL Champs).
So, the Eastern League (AAA) Buffalo Bisons became the de facto "1904 World Champions".

Note..... I highly recommend the book "The Year They Called Off The World Series"....by Benton Stark.
It's a fabulous read. Especially for you T206 fans, as you read it, the ballplayers in your T206 set come
"alive". Read about how Jack Chesbro, the 41-game winner that year, commits the "cardinal sin" which
loses it for the NY Highlanders in the NY - Boston A.L. play-off series.
