Thanks! Yeah, I was willing to go significantly higher, so I was pleasantly surprised

I agree with Corey on the Creighton piece. You will notice that Mort Rogers, of later scorecard fame, is pictured at the bottom.

I've never heard of him, but am now excited to do some research, thanks!

It's a great piece. I have one framed. I have all of the 19th century Harper's Weeklies and almost all of the Leslie's Illustrated from the 19th century that contain wood cuts etc depicting baseball. All Leslie's are also full newspapers other than this one -- although my print is in a bit better condition. I thought this would go to about $600 or so, so I didn't bid. You got a good price. Congrats.

Thanks! I think the last few I saw had some holes, so I'm happy with it. What are some of your favorites in your collection beside this one?
