I know this is a vintage card board, but I recall reading some posts here regarding vintage baseball books. I saw this on ebay today. |

Obviously, missing pages is an issue, especially if it's the last 5 pages of a murder mystery. |

Whether it's books or posters or baseball bats or tickets or toys, the rule of thumb for baseball memorabilia is that 19th century material is substantially rarer than 20th century material. Further, the earlier you go in into the 19th century, the rarer the material. |

I have been trying to secure a copy of this book (including in Mastro). $100 is about my limit for a copy missing ten pages. It's sort of like buying a card with the top corner clipped off, but worse because the missing ten pages import more than an aesthetic value. It's not that uncommon a book (for example, compared to The Garry or Roff's Baseball and Baseball Players)as well, as two or three show up yearly on ebay. |

Most libraries purge their books over a period of time, and many libraries in the early 20th century wouldn't have the foresight to keep such a wonderful book. |
