Thanks all for the kind words. And to Jeff for the pre-auction advice and Doug for the M113 information. I agree that having to separate the pages would have been a deal-breaker. I called REA before the auction closed to confirm that the portraits were on facing pages, and that the pamphlet laid completely flat, so I was fairly confident that it could be framed intact.
Even though the pamphlet isn't dated, there is some pretty conclusive evidence that 1910 is the correct year. There are multiple references to the Pirates being the prior year's champions, and the stock order form says "Special offer of Oct. 1910."
