Actually, it was even a better deal, I made a typo, it was only $22.84!

Congratulations, Doug! I'd been dreaming of stumbling upon that game's scorecard for quite awhile and adding it to my collection at a bargain basement price! Amazing find!

Picked up 3 Basketball programs. All of them were from the collection of Artis Gilmore. With the 1970 NCAA final 4 program being the nicest.

I picked up these two last December. I came across the 1947 scorecard first, signed by Mel Parnell, Tex Aulds, and Jake Jones. I figured it was worth checking to see if Aulds or Jones were difficult signatures. The Wikipedia page for Jones was subtitled "World War II flying ace". He was credited with 7.5 kills in the Pacific, and had recieved the Silver Star.

The following day, I picked up the 1946 scorecard, signed by Bert Shepard. Shepard was a P-38 pilot who was shot down over Germany. He survived the crash but lost a leg, which enabled him to be exchanged for a similarly-injured German POW. He got into one game with the 1945 Washington Senators, holding the Red Sox to three hits and one run across five innings.

I don’t specifically try to collect scorecards unless the cover has a star player and/or is just really cool like this 1906 Giants scorecard from a game with Brooklyn and showcases the 1905 World Series champion Giants in a horse drawn carriage!

Looks like a Hooks Wiltse vs. Mal Eason pitching duel.
Very cool scorebook! Thanks for sharing!

Great scorecard Cody!! Thanks for Sharing. The Scorecards from the NY Giants just after the Turn of the century all display well. Pictured are 2 from 1904 as you can see the player photos on the front rotated. The 1905 is from Opening day with Iron Man McGinnity on the mound. My 1906 is from 8/4/1906 Matty pitched and won vs the Cubs. And finally 1897 Giants. I love the cover ( despite a couple of stains) and the game was Giants vs the Spiders with Cy Young on the mound. ( he took the loss).

Picked this up from REA part of my Portland Maine collection. What made this interesting to me aside from the south Portland HS was the location of the store Beneth Prebble House. Pebbles are relatives. And Commodore Prebble Was Captain of the US Constitution.

Congrats Jonathan, nice pick up! What year is it, or can you tell? It looks like 1800s or maybe early 1900s.

[doug.goodman]

That's beautiful Jonathan

Thank you Gentelman. I would guess scorecard is from the 1890's based on the illustration. I am gonna send a few Emails and see if I can narrow down the year using the names from the scorecard.
