Posted By: <b>Scott</b><p>Are there any significant vintage White Sox collectors out there? I've been building up a collection as a lifelong fan but don't seem to run into many folks with a deep collection that goes back to the early 1900's. Thanks in advance for any info.

Posted By: <b>Josh Adams</b><p>I don't have a collection that goes back that far, but I do have alot of memorabilia and cards from the 40s and up. Always looking to expand my collection, especially for Black Sox players. Alas, student loans hold me back!<br><br>Go Go White Sox<br />2005 World Series Champions!

Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>Not my main focus, but if I see cool Black Sox items, I pick them up. Gandil, and Weaver mostly. I have a game program from July 28th 1917, from the "New York American League" Brush Stadium. The New York Americans beat the White Sox 5 to 4 that day. The neat thing about this Score card is that many of the Judge Landis "victims" were in this game. Jackson obviously was there. A neat scorecard. On the back they celebrate the "Gallant League Champs from 1889." "Winners of the Pennant and the World Series". And "When New York first won the Pennant." Ewing, O'Rourke and Keefe are pictured. Also on the back they have an add for Sweet Caporals. It's a new York scorecard, not White Sox, but thought you might be interested. In hearing about, not in buying it. not for sale. Sorry. Oh....there are neat harley Davidson and Spalding ad's in it as well.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>DKern</b><p>I've collected White Sox for more years than I'd like to think about. At one time I had a more extensive collection, but recently have sold off most of my early type cards (pain in my heart) due to 3 kids in college (sometimes a pain elsewhere). I still have the standard White Sox sets - T201, T202, T205, T206, E120, all the Goudeys, Playballs, modern Bowman and Topps, lots of McCarthy Postcards and Brace photos, etc., plus scores of guides, yearbooks, programs, newsletters and othe team pubs. <br />My long-term collecting goal was to get one card,photo, image, etc. of every player in team history. Of the 1521 I'm still missing 5 - something to shoot for. <br />I've been a White Sox fan for 50 years, quite happy with last year's championship, but have been wondering if this may be the appropriate historical inducement to move on. There's no doubt my wife would love to free up the space.<br />Happy collecting <br />Go White Sox
