The 1930 Cubs/Sox scorecard is a strange one I've never seen before - the 2 Chicago teams played a very popular "CITY SERIES" each fall when neither team made the World Series. Players made a bundle off the series, which was usually a sold out affair. As to why the Cubs and Sox are listed along with the real World Series line ups, if it's legit (and why the heck someone would fake smething like this si beyond me), it was probably a way to burn off some unsold scorecards by printing the A's-Cards W.S. lineups in them and hawk them at a cheap price so fans can score the came while listening on the radio.
