Mastronet Babe Ruth book is a reprint edition
Posted By: Max Weder
For those of you who may be tempted to dabble in the book world, you should be aware that Mastronet's offering http://mastronet.com/index.cfm?action=DisplayContent&ContentName=Lot%20Information&LotIndex=41616&CurrentRow=1 --while a gorgeous book--is the A.L. Burt reprint edition. The first edition of this book was published by Putnam, and is a larger size book, with the dust jacket being a lighter shade of blue. Mastronet has modified its description of the auction, but has not made it clear that the Burt offering is a reprint, published shortly after the Putnam printings. |

I've exited the "Wee Willie" discussion - it was getting pointless as it's obvious there are axes to grind that have very little to do with facts. |

I'm biting my lips here. In any case, both Jay and Mastro responded to this well, which is all you can ask. |

My experience is that MastroNet is loathe to change the desciption once it's been published. More than likely, the Keeler was changed as MastroNet knew that many of the big money bidders on that type of item are regulars to this board. |

Perhaps I missed something DD. You posted links to 2 ebay auctions and no one in this thread even commented on your post, much less accused you of anything. |

The two books DD refers to are completely different (thus perhaps his "never mind" post). The signed Ruth is the Putnam limited edition of 1000 (of which over the last 15 years, I've probably seen 25 come up for auction or sale); the other Ruth book is a trade paper edition published 4 years later with completely different material. |

Many board members tend to do that to anyone who consigns a questionable item...attack first, then gather the facts. I have been guilty of it as well. |
