T206Collector...at a yard sale I purchased a stack of old newspapers from 1903, hoping to find some baseball stories. Sure enough, I got the "box score" -- really short game description -- from the first World Series game ever played between Boston and Pittsburgh, pitched by Deacon Phillipe and Cy Young. The whole stack cost me maybe $10. I did some research at the time and a similar newspaper covering the game was on ebay, unsold with a BIN at about $25. I think they're great fun, but I don't think they're particularly valuable without photos of players, and even then, I'm not sure how much you'd get for them.
