Posted By: <b>Alan Elefson</b><p>Marty-<br /> I am not an expert on these and I am sure others will post with more information, but it certainly matches the appearence of other labelled 19th century baseballs I have seen in reputable auction houses. I believe there is an excellent book about dating vintage baseballs but I cannot recall either the author or the title right now. <br /> One other piece of information is related to the circumference of the baseball. If it is smaller than a standard baseball (and its patina and feel are correct), it usually dates to before the turn of the century. You can also search old posts on this board by the key word baseballs. You will have to wade through some autograph posts but there have been a few threads about 19th century baseballs. <br />Alan Elefson<br />aelefson@hotmail.com<br />

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>...make sure you tell her she doesn't look a day over 39, even if she's a lemon peel. When I have made enough money, I hope to snag me a trophy ball.

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>Not bad, Jodi... <br /><br />But this girl is no Lemon Peel. She would rather be told her figure is an "eight". <br /><br />I won't touch your "Trophy Ball" comment... that was pure genius!
