Extraordinary pair of financial ledger sheets from the 1900 Brooklyn Superbas, dating to October of that season.  Detailing a number of team expenses, the neatly written and organized sheet includes player salary payments for players including Bill Dahlen, Tom Daly, Duke Farrell, Hugh Jennings (HOF), Fielder Jones, Willie Keeler (HOF), Joe Kelley (HOF), Joe McGinnity (HOF), Deacon McGwire, Jimmy Sheckard, Lave Cross, and other names familiar to prewar collectors.  While the second, less important page does exhibit a tear, and both pages are worn at the center where they had, at one point, been stored folded, the sheets display as EX condition, with some minor age-related discoloration at the edges. A fantastic historical document.
