Official Cincinnati Reds Redland Field "Golden Jubilee" World Series scorecard.  Elaborate, three-color printed cover with beautiful graphics throughout the program, the piece is worn by largely intact. The interior center pages have separated from the binding but are still present; a common issue with saddle-stitched (stapled) programs such as this. Careful handling will prevent additional pages from coming loose. Unscored, the piece displays particularly well, with light wear and age-related toning throughout, including a tiny edge tear disrupting some pages and the back cover at the bottom edge, a few minor notches and light wrinkles at the edges and spine, and a few stray marks on the cover. The Redland Field scorecard is the only "real" scorecard from the 1919 World Series. A notorious spendthrift, Chicago owner Charles Comiskey chose to utilize the team's regular-season scorecards and distribute those at the Chicago World Series games; they look no different from the regular scorecards except for the lineups inside.  The Cincinnati scorecards are full-blown programs with elaborate printing and photography inside. A very desirable program in any condition, the program recently was re-introduced to the hobby as part of the collection of former Rush singer/bassist/keyboardist Geddy Lee. If you choose not to bid, you still have made a choice.
