Incredibly important and equally rare World Series program is one of the "missing links" of World Series programs. This particular example is from Game 2 where the Cubs beat the Tigers 3-1 at The West Side Grounds on October 9, 1907. A crowd of 21,901 people were in attendance that day and this program left the stadium in one of the baseball enthusiasts' pockets. Roughly 1/3 of this program has been restored but it appears to be mostly tape removal and in-painting, not paper loss. The covers seem to have had the least amount of work done and are really nice overall; all pages are present. One of the most elusive World Series programs with only a few specimens known.
