Black Sox Newspaper

Seller was Estate-Finders formerly SCGAYNOR, I'm pretty sure they are legit since 1997 and 18,220 feedback. Although always possible to slip one by the goalie.

Is your also very brittle with lots of chipping like mine?

The front pages of ours look identical Mine also looks very vintage. Mine had at one time a sticker on the front page top right corner over the "The Weather" box. Mine has the exact same little puncture marks on the bottom of the front page as yours. What are the odds that one is a vintage reproduction and the other that is identical isnt. I will take a close up photo like you did of the top of page 11...they are identical in spots where ink is missing from the letters. Yours is a good reproduction just like mine is. I bought it on ebay several years ago. Im guessing some just took out the middle ad page for the service from yours.

Ive been collecting 1919 White Sox and Reds stuff for about 30 years now and have many authentic newspapers, this is a good reproduction but none the less a reproduction.

Notice the yellowing around the edges of mine and the paper loss in the very middle of the center fold. All very convincing and remember it is probably printed in the early 90s and papers over 10 years old will get brittle and fade.

I won mine on ebay back in 2001, item # 537620038 "1921 Buffalo express newspaper" the seller was from NJ, I will message you their details if you like

I do see that MEARS sold one last year for $110. That looks identical to both of ours. Like I said mine looks and feels authentic, but it isnt and the insert in mine seals it for me. I think MEARs got conned by someone

I will add as a side note I sent many of my newspapers including this one in to ESPN for them to use for their Sports Century program Remembering the Black Sox and it can be seen in the show.
