Lot Number: 357

Description: Exceedingly scarce and important 1903 World Series program (at Pittsburgh). Original program issued for game played at Exposition Park, remains in very well preserved condition. Consistent light toning to covers which show a touch of wear at edges/corners. Front cover has (1) small hole (approximately 3/8” long), back cover has small tear (approximately same size) at left edge. A pair of vertical fold lines run throughout all pages along with some wrinkling as the program was likely folded in thirds and slid into a back pocket. Remarkably, the bound edge remains fully intact. Clean interior has Pirates star players pictured throughout and pre-printed lineups on unscored center page. The rarity of this program can not be overstated with this being one of only three documented surviving examples to our knowledge. As one of the sole survivors from National Pastime’s very first World Series, the importance is indisputable. Arguably the most significant post-1900 baseball publication ever offered and likely a once in a lifetime opportunity: Technical VG-VG/EX

Estimated Price Range: ($250,000-$350,000)
