That's fantastic! Are you willing to share details about where you acquired it? AH? LCS? How long have you owned it?

That Schedule is cool. I haven't seen that before. And that pennant, makes me jealous (in a good way) every time I see one pop up on the other thread. Great items.

I bought it from Mike Gidwitz about 10 years ago. I'd been constantly upgrading a high grade set for a few years before that and hit a wall, this seemed like the logical companion piece. My stepfather grew up in Cincinnati and went to the '39 and '40 World Series, I got this sheet and a couple of ticket stubs from the series as dementia was starting to set in on him, but he loved holding them and talking about the players back then.

Isn't it interesting how little items or songs can spark memories in dementia and alzheimers patients? That was very kind of you to do that for him.
