An extremely rare celluloid pocket schedule card, this was issued by The Pittsburg Leader newspaper and features a portrait of Honus Wagner, surrounded by advertising on the front with the complete 1904 schedule for Pittsburg's home games and advertising on the back. Similar to a card, issued on silky ivory-like celluloid; as it is on celluloid it has collecting appeal to many different groups. The portrait image on this piece is the very same one as the Honus Wagner "Our Protection Against Loss" insurance company advertising pinback, also dating from 1904, which is one of pinback collecting's most desirable and legendary rarities. Measures 3.375x1.75" and is MINT absolutely no flaws.
