Default 1921 Black Sox Trial account

Cool vintage piece here. It is an authentic Buffalo Express newspaper from 1921 from when the Black Sox were found "not guilty". It has been stored away for the last 20 years and is in Near Mint condition. Terrific historical content. Mentions "7" Black Sox (?) including Shoeless Joe (numerous times), Eddie Cicotte, Buck Weaver, Sleepy Bill Burns, Hal Chase, Abe Attell, Arnold Rothstein, etc. Also throughout the newspaper are unrelated references to Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Bull Durham tobacco, and some box scores from the night before. 12 pages (missing a 2 page advertising supplement). Sorry for the bad picture; I tried to get extreme close-ups thru scans, but this site would not support the files. Guaranteed authentic and please ask any questions! Here is a site where the newspaper can be viewed in whole: http://www.rarenewspapers.com/view/590048 . Shipping wil be $3 and let's start the auction out at $1. Thanks for looking!
