Negro League Broadside - help needed

[Jim VB]

Sorry Richard. Brain freeze, I guess.

As much as you can tell from a picture, they (two of them at least) look real. They would have been printed up, in quantity, and the dates and particulars on specific games could have been written in after. But as Alan said, I don't think you'll know until it's in your hands.

There is only one broadside.

There is only one? In the photo, it looks like you can see a portion of a 2nd one on the right hand side of the photo, and at the bottom right corner, you can see a bit of what looks like a 3rd one.

You may be right, but I was offered a broadside, and it seemed like the seller only referred to one.

The same type of broadside sold in the 2004 Robert Edward's auction for $2300. They didn't note the team move. I would agree with previous posts that it may have been made before the team moved- in fact that may be why some survived in unused form. I have posted this before but here is a broadside a picked up a few months back- the back has the game cost numbers showing how the team budgets were so tight that unused broadsides were used as scrap paper for the teams

It's real. There must have been a small find of these as they first turned up about 10 years ago. Worth $2000-3000 depending on condition.
