Default Reach baseball ball question

Posted By: davidcycleback

You can buy the booklet/pamphlet 'Vintage Base Balls' which is a nice history/identification guide to baseballs-- though I don't promise apply to your specific ball. Even if it doesn't it's a good and informative guide on baseballs, 19th century styles to modern. I believe it has a rarity/price chart too. You can buy it at the co-author Joe Phillips' web site http://www.glovecollector.com. I also recommend Phillips' quarterly 'The Glove Collecter' print newsletter about collecting store model gloves, for those interested in that area. Phillips is recognized as one one of the top baseball glove experts/historians in the hobby and, interestingly, used to work for of the sports card manufacturers.
