Before the earthquake, from Seymour Church's wonderful book Base Ball

Max, "Geo V. Robinson" is pictured on page xiv at the rear, and is described as photographer for the Evening Post of San Francisco. Great book, also love the association copies. (I have always been amazed that there is a photograph of Mathewson (p xi) in a book published in 1902, about the history of baseball from 1845 to 1875.)

Oh man, do I love signed baseball books. I have over a hundred in my bucket.

Here is one, signed to a member of the board of Wright and Ditson

How common are A.G. Spalding autographs? I think this is the first one that I've seen. Very nice.

Oddy, his signature is attainable on that book, but still not easy at all. I think that is a great signature/book, which Id love to read. The Slanted Mills commission history lesson

The only one I own, a recent pickup and while not 100% baseball related, the signer played a large role in one of the early baseball Cigarette card issues.
