About Collectible Baseball Programs and Scorecards

In the early 1890s, entrepreneur Harry Stevens changed how fans watch the game by inventing the roster card (scorecard), which indentified each player by numbers on a grid. Advertisers caught on fast, and began buying space on the cards. Today, scorecards and programs can be very valuable (if authentic), such as those from early World Series games or from a famous player's early days.
