The @ Cleveland program is, in my opinion, the most common pre-1920s World Series program (although some Red Sox issues in 1910s are also relatively obtainable, notwithstanding Babe Ruth can increase demand for the 1915 & 1916 versions).
Not suggesting this is not a sought after item - just that, in relative terms, it is more common than for most pre-1920s World Series programs.
A reality is that more of the Cleveland program were likely kept because, aesthetically, it is a much more impressive item than the White Sox equivalent which was akin to a regular season program. If the Cleveland program was a less impressive item, fewer would undoubtedly have survived over the past century+.
