19th Century Baseball Books
 

Posted By: <b>Jason</b><p>I begain collecting 19th and early 20th century baseball books about one year ago and am always looking for a more material and/or suggesting for where to find such. I tend to collect lower grade stuff as I am not doing this for the investiment. Right now want list examples- but really just interested in any early reference to baseball or baseball like games <br /><br />Harry Palmer Athletic Sports 1889<br />Early editions of Boy's Own Book - pre 1850 American Editions prefered <br />Early Guides- reach, spalding, beadle dewit pre 1890<br />Ball Player's Chronicles- single isues of orignials or the repo bound set <br />Noah brooks - How Our Team Won the Cahmpionship- pictorial covers (though I would be curious how different it is from fair port nine which I have in the St nicholas serial edition)<br />Henry Chadwick Baseball Manuel 1889<br /><br />Look Forward To Hearing From You <br /><br /><br />Jason<br />

Posted By: <b>Jason</b><p>Thanks for the offer but I will have to pass- about 7 months ago I bought a bound run of papers from 1884 and I still haven't gotten around to dealing with them so no more newspaper for a while <br /><br />Jason
