Default World's Greatest Schedule

Posted By: Jay Miller 

Although some may think that the Red Stocking Cigar schedule (No! It's not a card) is the world's greatest schedule, I would like to submit that I believe that the following 1885 Chicago schedule surpasses it.I thought that you guys would get a kick out of seeing the piece. The back shows the officers and players as well as the schedule of home games for the 1885 season. The front, like a Peck & Snyder trade card, has a photo of the 1885 team. This is not just an ordinary photo, however. This is the photo from which the image of Cap Anson for the Old Judge Anson in Uniform card, the most famous and valuable 19th century card, came.
