Footage discovered from the 1919 World Series. This was the famous "Black Sox" World Series. I grew up a Chicago kid, so I was absolutely fascinated by this whole story, particularly Shoeless Joe Jackson.
My dream card would be the Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe Jackson card, but probably not realistic unless I win the lottery. :-)
Having said that, here are my 3 favorites from my "Black Sox" PC:
1911 Eddie Cicotte, a star pitcher for the 1919 White Sox and a conspirator. (Banned for life)
1921 Ray Schalk, the catcher and a team leader who was NOT in on the fix.
1911 Chick Gandil, the first baseman and ringleader of the whole scandal. He recruited the others with a pretty effective sales pitch. This card is my favorite of the 3 just for the story.
