Corey, that is awesome! What size is it?

Bob,

I won't be in a position to measure it until next week, but from memory I would estimate it to be 16'' by 24".

1871 Peck & Snider Scorecard Mutuals v Athletics

At least as purported by the 'seemingly contemporary' notations on the scorecard....
Nahh. Confident it's as described.

1871 double-sided Chicago scorecard for September 18th game against the Athletics (Chicago side of scorecard shown). 3 weeks after this game was played much of the City went up in flames. Unlike the team's ballpark and even their uniforms, this items survived the fire.

Very cool advertisements on the scorecard, especially the Ladies oyster and ice cream parlors. 'Googling' these parlors and the evolution of 19th century eateries provides an interesting history.
