Jason MishelowI have always felt that newpapers are extremly under appricated. You are still able to get 1850-60 papers like the Spirit of the Times with great baseball content for 10-15 dollars per issue. A glance at the pervious three month of Lelands shows that even bound editions covering an entire year in the 1860's will only run you about $250. I cannot understand the despartiy between somthing like a newspaper from the 1860 and a Baseball guide from the same period. Is the guide so much rarer that it justifies prices 100X what the newpaper goes for.
If this area of collecting does interest you I would suggest that you simply tipe old newspaper or rare newpaper into a goolge search- a number of seller with very interesting inventory pop up ands the prices are very low
