c1915 Yale vs. Swarthmore Basketball Broadside P/U
I'm pretty happy with this broadside that came this week off eBay...The seller had the year of 1901 wrong...and a high starting bid...No one bid...It took a couple seeks to put a deal together but he took my offer and relisted it with my offer as a BIN...at a designated time I would be on line to snatch it. I was able to learn the year by narrowing the years Tuesday March 2nd fell on being 1897 , 1909 , 1915....then I found a list of the games Swarthmore played in 1915 and that was the only March 2nd game with Yale... All that was great to find....but after I got it the seller told me a whole lot more of the posters history...it came from a player on the 1915 Yale team...and there's a lot more...which I plan to write a story on. 1915 is the earliest color illustrated college basketball broadside I've seen. For some reason early basketball broadsides are a lot tougher to find than baseball and football...About a year ago I posted a Syracuse vs. Colgate basketball broadside...and I was very happy to get it but this ones is bigger and illustrated... For me the top tier of broadsides is when they are issued by the school as opposed to a newspaper, or railroad, or other entity (although railroad ones are very cool)...For me they're the most substantial in that they come direct from the source...This one was issued by Yale and an alum named Robert Dobson illustrated it. For anyone interested, below is a link to a story I did on antique sports posters http://www.sportsantiques.com/PurdueNWBBPost.htm
