Two months earlier the White Sox had turned to Black as they sold the World Championship, but this was a happier time for the White Sox in 1919. Ultra-rare relic was printed for the "Banquet of The Old Timers Baseball Association Given in Celebration of The Golden Anniversary of The Assembling of The Chicago White Stockings of 1869." Menu is listed inside, as is the schedule of the event, which includes a toast from Charles Comiskey. Six pages on heavy stock are bound with a single length of twine and the program looks to have just been removed from the hotel where the banquet was held. It's an EX-MT+ miracle. No need to worry about finding another one of these--you won't.
