Default Another chop-shop destroys baseball history

P.S. I too sent him a scathing email; he may have a small conscience, but I doubt it. And I am glad someone ponted out that a single page constitutes the home team from one game and the reverse the visiting team from a different game. Also, some pages were initialled, and some had no identification at all. When he is down to selling the lesser pages for next to nothing after flooding the market with these things, maybe he will recognize his error. Incidentally, I recently sold my 1879 Harry Wrigtht scorebook privately to someone who will keep it for many years. I want the buyer of the 1883 book to know that this book contained 42 signatures; also, that the 1880 book contains about 60 more. I say this so educated buyers will know the signatures he is selling are not particularly rare. Hoefully, that will help the value of them plunge precipitously.
