SCD lookup plz. M114 Black Sox

[Ladder7]

I have an 1917 Baseball magazine premium (M114) Chicago, that is not listed in either my '06 nor '07 catalogs. '17 team Bosox and NYG only.

Could a nice fellow, with a later issue help a brother out please? Steve

In the 2009 edition it's not listed as 1917. The next previous year to list Chicago was 1915 and the post-1917 year would be 1919 (White Sox). Those are the 2 yrs, front and back, that are listed in the 2009 SCD. I am waiting for the 2011 to get a new book and don't have 2010. regards

changed 1914 to 1915 as there is a 1915 Chicago White Sox listed

I have a pic over in the Memo side, in Jimmy's Premiums thread. Sorry, on an iPod and my photo skills sox on this gizmo.

This M114 is labeled "World's Champs". Going by that roster, it would be 1917.

Leon, Thanks for taking the time to look. That thing is a beast!

I believe that the SCD book may have mistakenly listed the White Sox as Red Sox for 1917. Can anyone confirm the existance of the Red Sox for 1917?

Hello Steve,
Sorry, I can't give you a definitive answer. The Baseball Magazine posters checklist in the Standard Catalog has been there probably since the first edition and I don't recall any additions, corrections, etc., to it, at least not in the past 10 years.

It may well be that, as suggested here, the listing of a 1917 Red Sox poster is in error, but since I have no idea where the checklist originated, I can't verify that one way or the other.

Phil, It would make sense that the two 1917 teams were theor League's champs, Black Sox and the Giants. FWIW, never seen the Red Sox team either, and Ive always been in that hunt.

Okay Bob, Ya think the Chicago one can be added to the list while keeping the Boston (until a definitive answer)?

Thanks, Steve F
