Show interesting discoveries made about a card after already owning it

I was set-up at the annual HOF weekend Cooperstown Show (Summer of 1991). A fellow walked-in with this 1904 gem.
He had an idea what it was worth and he wanted to trade it for pre-WWII BB cards (in particular T206's). He selected a
a number of T206's stars & commons which he needed in trade for this classic piece of 1904 BaseBall history.

Fall of 1991, I read the book... "The Year They Called Off The World Series", by Benton Stark. Unbelievable coincidence.

In 1904, Mgr. John McGraw of the NY Giants (N.L. Champs) refused to play Boston (A.L. Champs). McGraw declared his
Giants the "World Series Champions". Since there was no Major League World Series in 1904, the Eastern League (AAA)
Buffalo Bisons became the de facto "1904 World Champions" by defeating the American Association's St. Paul Saints.
