2012 NLCS Official Program: St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Francisco Giants

This item is an official program for the Major League Baseball (MLB) 2012 National League Championship Series (NLCS), featuring a matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco Giants. The program's cover is predominantly dark grey or black with prominent red and white lettering for '2012 NLCS'. The MLB logo is prominently displayed, along with team logos for both the Cardinals (a red cardinal perched on a bat) and the Giants (the word 'GIANTS'). The price '$10' is visible in the upper right corner. Two main photographic images grace the cover: one depicts St. Louis Cardinals player David Freese, identified by his jersey number '23', in a batting pose; the other features a San Francisco Giants pitcher on the mound. Below these images, a bold banner states 'POSTSEASON 2012' and 'ST. LOUIS CARDINALS vs SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS'. A barcode is visible on the lower left side. The program appears to be in good condition with minor edges wear, suggesting general handling commensurate with its age. It is a paper-based collectible, likely with glossy cardstock for the cover and standard paper pages inside, typical for sports event programs. Its historical significance as a memento of a specific MLB playoff series contributes to its collectible value.
