Cubs Team “Error” Postcard Postmarked on the 1906 World Series Opening Day.
Lot 35. Cubs Team “Error” Postcard Postmarked on the 1906 World Series Opening Day. Heavily favored to defeat the White Sox, their cross-town rivals, in the 1906 World Series, the talent-laden Chicago Cubs fell in six games to the “Hitless Wonders.” This picture postcard, which erroneously, or prophetically, identifies the Cubs as “Champions 1907 – National League,” was postmarked in Chicago on Oct. 9, the opening day of the World Series. The postcard sender wrote a “6” over the “7.” The postcard includes Evers, Tinker and Chance, as well as Brown, Kling, Reulbach and, of course, Steinfeldt. Technically f, looks better.
Winning Bid $75.
