Hey guys, I'm wrapping up most of the baseball pages photography wise in my book with the exception of the early 1880's-1890's Spalding Official league Ball. This ball would have been used at the beginning of the National League and one of Spalding's first baseballs. I have been sent images of these two baseballs, but never high enough resolution or all of the panels to properly research them, and never with owner contact info so I could get proper photographs.

Does anyone out there own one of these baseballs? Or know of someone who might have one? This is a very important part of the History of the Base Ball, and sharing is a good thing! Last guy I spoke with didn't want the public to see what he had for fear of counterfeiting, but that's not fair to the people who want to learn and I thought selfish. Any help on your part won't go unrewarded!

Thanks guys.
