And, there is lot 81021 - a real photo post card of the West Side Grounds (shown below). It really is a nice item. The description says:
a packed West Side Park between the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers from the 1907 or 1908 World Series. .... and "27,000 people." Our research shows the attendance closest to that number (assuming it is close to accurate) was the 24,000+ who saw Game 1 of the 1907 Series possibly setting the scene as being from that game.
The configuration of West Side Grounds as shown, with the upper deck extending all the way down both foul lines, was contructed during the 1908 season - so it can't be 1907 (see the cover of Deadball Stars of the AL). So can we be confident it is the 1908 WS? - I'll post when the auction closes.
