Vintage Memorabilia at National - Anyone?

[CarltonHendricks]

I didn't go this year but snagged two items by text, after friends sent photos...first was the Yale hockey sweater from Corey Leiby...Dave Sykes of the three Bill's n' Dave posse sent a shot of a display cabinet and it looked like a Corey booth...so texted Corey and clinched it...One of the best hockey sweaters I've come across...then that University of Pennsylvania baseball broadside schedule I got from Keith Javic...I learned John Gennantonio had already seen it because when I showed it to him he said he had researched previously and it was either 1908 or 1914 based on cross examining the dates with yearbooks from his archives...Faded and chipped...that's the perfect condition I like a broadside...because you're 300% sure it's real not a repop...You can see why these kinds of posters are so rare because of how fragile it is...very few have survived...most were broken and tossed...University of Pennsylvania sports broadsides are extremely rare for some reason…I believe this is the first one I’ve seen…so I was very happy to get it…

It isn't 1908 or 1914. I took a date from the broadside, April 21 which needs to be a Friday. That date, on the following years, was:

1908 Tuesday
1909 Wednesday
1910 Thursday
1911 Friday
1912 Sunday
1913 Monday
1914 Tuesday
1915 Wednesday
1916 Friday

I should correct that Gennantonio said as much he "thought" from recollection it was 1908 or 1914 speaking off the cuff...My first question to John was when did they stop wearing collared jerseys...

I am not trying to be a jerk, I am trying to help you identify the year.

Guys............This was the only memorabilia pickup for me at the show, as I was there Wednesday and Thursday. I acquired it from Corey, as well. I love the colors and vintage graphics and it's still sealed. There were more cool items, but I was kind of looking for a figural baseball trophy which didn't pan out.
