In fact, from recollection, it was headlined as a 1869 - 1919 Golden Jubilee souvenir. This compared to the White Sox version which, again from recollection, was more akin to a conventional scorecard.
Do you know if it was more ornate, being the Golden Jubilee souvenir? Some of the early scorecards have fantastic lithography.
