Up for your consideration is one of the most exquisite Opening Day programs that we have ever had the priviledge of offering to the public.

This is an extremely scarce example of a 1906 St. Louis Browns program from their opening day battle against the Cleveland Naps.

This example shows front cover wear on the bottom right and is missing the back cover, however displays magnificently.

We were able to easily identify the date of this program by scouring through old newspaper articles and matching the lineups and pitchers up.

One of the only time in which Howell and Hess faced off that year was Opening Day April 17th. Along with that, the Naps lineup matches exactly while the Browns lineup is close.

These teams also played at St. Louis on June 22nd and 23, September 9th and 16th, and October 10th. The lineups do not come close to matching up for both teams in almost all instances, and when they do the starting pitchers are both incorrect.

Cleveland went on to take this game 3-1 behind the bat of Nap Lajoie as he and Jackson both collected 2 hits each.

This program is absolutely loaded with Hall of Famers such as Nap Lajoie, Elmer Flick, Addie Joss and Bobby Wallace.

A true historical baseball artifact from a time when baseball was just a game.

Up for your consideration is an extraordinary example of a Negro League Program from the August 28th 1944 Twinight doubleheader which took place in front of 13,136 fans at Shibe Park.

What a day it was, as the Birmingham Barons defeated the Philadelphia Stars 6-3 in game 1 only to get stifled by Satchel Paige and the Kansas City Monarchs 10-0 in game 2.

Satchel Paige fired off 4 scoreless innings yeilding only one measly hit while striking out 4.

The front cover depicts a beautiful black and white photograph of Satchel Paige in the windup, while the back page shows a photo of big bad Josh Gibson finishing his swing.

While the inside of the program is not scored, the fan boldly made notation of game ones score in pencil above the respective team names.

While the program does show some wear, it displays phenomenally to say the least.

These programs are extremely scarce, and the fact that Paige actually pitched in this game with complete certainty makes it a baseball treasure.
