The White Sox Horner cabinet is also from 1903. The 1902 team was managed by Clark Griffith, as seen in the center of the 1902 Horner cabinet below. The 1903 team was managed by Jimmy Callahan, who is in the center of the Horner cabinet that you have in this auction. The 1903 team also included Nick Altrock and Danny Green (just to the left of Callahan) and Frank Owen (upper right corner), none of whom were on the 1902 team.

That La Azora schedule card of Ty Cobb is super cool. I have never seen that one before. I could see the bidding getting really crazy for such an obscure Cobb item.

One i used to own....it brought around 5700 three years ago but I think would be decidedly more today, but who knows?

The item that caught my attention is the 1907 tigers uniform and I would love to own maybe one day

It may be too rare for its own good. With that being said, it is part of a known series of schedules made by La Azora. Safe to say the population on them are under 3 on each pose.

I get what you are saying about perhaps being too rare, but it is Ty Cobb. Cobb items overall really seem hot the past couple years.

Agreed, Cobb has been hot and will remain hot for years to come IMO. Speaking of schedules, Cobb and Lelands. Picked up this really cool schedule from Lelands last auction. Shows Addie Joss in his third year and Nap Lajoie half way throug his career. Lajoie was one of best hitters in baseball until a player named Cobb joined the league to give him a run for the title. There are a couple of early Cobb schedules I've seen from either 1907 or 1908 which look like this one.

Lajoie was so good they called it the Napoleons since he carried the team year after year.
