Thank you! Definitely gratifying to find something that's a real centerpiece to the collection. I can go many months without finding anything that really fits, so almost any pick-up is a big deal for this collection. (I collect other areas as well, since a "once-every-few-months" collection isn't keeping me busy enough haha.

While not as exciting as that, this 1920 Spalding Guide arrived today. I was pleased with the condition. It features the 1919 World Series and the Black Sox team as well as Ruth.

Thank you! And my pleasure. One of the joys of collecting is the way it leads to uncovering fascinating history; which inevitably shines a light on other items to collect.
The Guide you picked up there is awesome! Love the pictures from that era!
