Hi-
      I recently acquired the 1867 Beadle's Base Ball guide pictured below, and I had some questions regarding it and the series.  Is there a good method to store this book?  It is intact, but obviously has some condition issues.  I currently have it in a plastic comic book type bag with a piece of cardboard behind it.  I am thinking of removing it, and placing it directly in a 8 by 10 size page and placing it at the top of my pre 1880 binder, which I store horizontally.
       Are the most difficult years to find the earliest ones?  I would love to see more so please post one if you have one!  I really like the ad for Peck's base ball emporuim.
Thanks in advance,
Alan Elefson
