One cool 1912 Baseball Scorecard

[MCS]

From time to time I have been known to buy and sell very old Sports stuff. Today I bought what I think is a very scarce 1912 Advertising Pre-season Scorecard featuring Ty Cobb batting. The card is scored and with futher research has been determined to be between the World champs Philly A's and Texas League team the San Antonio Bronchos on March 19, 1912. That fact and the fact that there are no less than 10 Hall of Famers pictured made this purchase easy.

Here is Smokey Joe Wood card for you.
$1500 or best offer according to the ad. Smokey Joe cards are hard to find and pricey when you do find them because they are mainly in hard to get early Caramel card sets such as Cracker Jack cards. Any card in a set Smokey is in is expensive in nice condition.
Surely he has some less expensive cards. Like $50 or less. I will keep searching cause I want a Smokey Joe Wood card for myself.

I belong to a great Pre WWll Sports card etc. forum. I posted the Cobb Scorecard to get a feel of the market. I was estatic with their opinions. Anyway some dude posted this small recap of the game that proves as per the scorecard Chief Bender pitched 4 inning for San Antonio against his Philly A's.
