I'm a fourth generation Yankees fan and thus genetically predisposed to despise all things Red Sox, but even I had to admit that this was pretty sweet. It's a photographic composite by Carl Horner (his photographs were the basis for a lot of the early 20th century tobacco cards, including the famous Honus Wagner) featuring the team that won the first World Series in 1903. There was some writing (player identifications) on the photo which made it a bit more affordable than it might otherwise have been, but it still sold for over $11,000.

Well Jonathan, You just gave your collection the touch of class it was lacking all these years. Terrific item.

Oh, no, I don't own it! I'm the lead cataloger for Heritage Auctions, and it's a piece that impressed me when it crossed my desk. I don't think my father would ever speak to me again if he came to visit and saw that hanging on my wall!

Looks like the only thing worth looking at these days now that there's nothing worthwhile watching on tv

sweet piece

I posted this on the main forum....

but it belongs here too.


The final game of the 1912 World Series, enjoyed by a crowd on Main Street in Colorado.

No television, no radio - - - the score is updated on a box-score chalkboard.

Unfortunately - the Red Sox win this one, and with that win the 1912 World Series.

It's only been 11 months since I got anything new...

These were your Boston Red Sox and Braves announcers in 1948 (slightly post-war, sorry). Of course, what made me buy this, for those who know me, is the mike stand...
