Default A Look at Rare Baseball Books
Posted By: barrysloate

Jason- ABE is very expensive, no question. Rare book dealers are notorius for their huge markups.

Baumann Rare Books always has a full page ad in the Sunday New York Times. Yesterday's ad offered a 1911 Spalding book for $2800. You can find a nice copy in the baseball hobby for around $350-400. Their price was just shameful. You just have to hunt a little, it's not always easy.
