A supplement from the Scrantonian dated June 13, 1909.

I can't find any others on the interwebs, but I haven't put much effore into it, yet.

Hey Doug. Nothing specific but I live near Scranton and St. John's Greek Catholic Church was in Scranton back then and I've heard of a Catholic Temperance League playing around here "back in the day"

I picked up a couple of more pieces of original art from artist Ronnie Joyner. They were featured in the Pirates On Deck magazine in 1996 celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 1971 Championship. To the right of the art is the final product as it appeared in print.

Finally scanned this one, it's a massive 22 X 30 inches.

From the April 18, 1909 Sunday Public Ledger, it shows opening day at Shibe Park...

I believe so. If you were to find the April 18, 1909 issue of the Public Ledger, it should be inside.

Of the 62 m101-1 TSN supplements this is #43 for me.

I love it when a dealer doesn’t read the front of a trophy. 1938 Jack Kramer doubles tennis trophy as a teenager.

A local antique store selling on Instagram during the pandemic. I mean, three minutes of research and they could have figured it out, but I guess it was easier to slap on a price and be done with it.

Makes guys like us very happy, right?
