Anyone notified Legendary about this? Seems like if that's indisputable then it's impossible this is a 1906 WS ticket stub.

I would like to point out that in 1906 there are adverts saying that the washington shirt co. opened up a shoe dept. in the fall of the previous year so the shoe dept. making it "a dead giveaway" is a red herring. I think we had a little rush to judgment there. put down the noose. I am just kidding. But google is a wonder these days. Legendary can owe me. I squashed it before it got legs.

If it is hard to read, the review is dated Jan. 10, 1906 and is a review of the wholesale market for 1905, the image i have is bigger and i can email it to anyone who wants a copy. the image posting mechanism resized it into a smaller size i guess.

I guess it's not indisputable. And like I said earlier in the thread it would not be unlike Charlie Comiskey to be a cheap bastard and use regular season tickets for the World Series.
