1908 WORLD SERIES PROGRAM AT CHICAGO: A MONUMENTAL COLLECTING RARITY

Original program as issued for either game numbers one or two as played at Chicago between the Cubs and the Detroit Tigers. Horizontal format program features various imagery within the interior to include panoramic views of West Side Grounds stadium and player vignette portraits. Interior scoring pages remain unused with pre-printed lineups including Ty Cobb, Wahoo Sam Crawford, Joe Tinker, and Johnny Evers. General condition is very fine with some light age toning to the covers, small half inch tear at bottom margin of front cover, and a vertical crease to the left of program center. The Cubs defeated the Tigers by a margin of four games to one. It would be the Cubs second consecutive World Championship and famously their last for the next 100+ years. The Chicago variant of the 1908 World Series program ranks as one of the top three rarities of the medium with this exemplar being one of two documented examples we have encountered: VG
