Not suggesting this is not a sought after item - just that, in relative terms, it is more common than for most pre-1920s World Series programs.

A reality is that more of the Cleveland program were likely kept because, aesthetically, it is a much more impressive item than the White Sox equivalent which was akin to a regular season program. If the Cleveland program was a less impressive item, fewer would undoubtedly have survived over the past century+.

Cleveland?

I think it is more common than you would think...I seem to always see several sell every year. Unless the same ones are constantly selling I'd guess 3-5 every year for the last 10-15 years maybe...Im just guessing but that is what I would bet on if I was a gambling man


Edd Roush's granddaughter tells a great story about when cleaning out Edd's stuff some time after he died she threw away a box full of them...

Sorry - was in overdrive. Got the first letter right at least.

Ironically, the Cleveland World Series program from the following year falls somewhat into the White Sox 1919 category i.e. a standard regular season program rather than a more special production.
