TbobI tried selling a new copy of Havana Heat (terrific) and Kinsella's Iowa Baseball Confederacy (all about Chance's Cubs) in hardback and dj and nice and neither got a nibble on ebay. A few other baseball books did so-so including the Celebrant, but the sales were pretty disappointing. For now I am keeping my first edition rare When the Yankees Lost the Pennant in great dustjacket (later made in to the play and movie Damn Yankees) and an early edition of 8 Men Out in hb and dj. When I've listed baseball books in the books section on ebay they fall flat. When I list them in the prewar card section they do better but ebay sends me threatening emails about what they are going to do to me and my account for listing them in the wrong place. I guess it's ok to list pages ripped out of books as cards in the prewar cards section but if you try and sell the whole book and AAA hasn't graded it, look out!
