Lot 25 M2814 — Celebrate the Century — "The First World Series"

This hand painted cachet recalls the very first World Series between Boston and Pittsburgh. Featured are the two stars of the two teams — Boston's Cy Young and Pittsburgh's Honus Wagner. This incredible Collins will always be almost impossible to find, and I can honestly say it is one of the finest baseball first day covers ever produced.
