I acquired this 1919 White Sox team poster some years ago.

It is framed, and on display in my Sportscard office surrounded by all my vintage BB and FB uncut sheets.

I have no idea where it originally came from. Perhaps someone on this forum can identify the source of it.

Numbered to 1500 probably some kind of replica like these.

It's a 75th anniversary commemorative poster numbered to 1500.

I got mine when they first came out in I believe 1989 or 1990. They were printed on heavy parchment type paper and were numbered to 1500, and were printed from the original plates (that were supposedly destroyed after the print run).

Technically not a Black Sock, but Attell was the alleged fixer and operator arranging the game rigging and so he seems to mean to qualify for the thread.

Here's all 4 of his T219 cards, if I'm allowed to play with Attell.

Nice Attell cards. I believe 3 are actually T218, while the slightly narrower one is a T219.

All 4 are actually T219's. There are 4 backs in T219, Honest Long Cut with black ink, Honest Long Cut with green ink, Miners Extra, and Red Cross. It is seldom noted, but the Red Cross cards are physically smaller than the other 3 versions, and crop the images even further than the other 3 backs crop the T218 pictures.

Here's the full family, all 9 possible Attell's of this image. Mecca 30, Mecca 649, Hassan 30, and Hassan 649 series 1 backs, above his C52 series 1 card. All 4 T219's on the right.

My error...I guess I was fooled by the Red Cross. It is nice to see all the versions from the two sets, and a good visual to see the cropping differences between the sets.

I pulled a sneaky on you by including the mini mini Red Cross . Some of the Red Cross cards don’t look nearly as good as the others because the cropping starts to interfere with the picture and not just trim fat off the background like it does for Dishonest Abe here.

Abe Attell was the "bag man" for New York gamblng gangster Arnold Rothstein. Attell supposedly gave $10,000
to several Chicago White Sox players to "throw" the 1919 World Series.
