I'll work on getting some scans here soon. But I have according to the VCBC checklist.

10/15/59 - 664/665 - 1 - A BB Match at The Elysian Fields, Hoboken
05/16/68 - cover - 7 - George Sands - cover**full issue
07/03/69 - 421 - 8 - Picked Nine of Red Stocking Club
05/14/81 - 320 - 17 - Princeton College BB Nine
08/05/82 - 493 - 18 - The Metropolitan Nine (1/2 page)
10/13/83 - 653 - 23/24 - BB Champions of 1883 / Boston BBC
05/31/02 - <11> - International Champions - Boston Champions
(reprint of 6/27/1874)

Plus the 1883 Spalding Guide Woodcut of Dan Brouthers that I picked up in the BST from Phil.

and a woodcut from "The Graphic" August 15th 1874 from the UK. "Visit of the American Base-Ball Player to England-Their first game at Liverpool".

I have the full issues of a few, and at least the full page for all of them except the Metropolitan nine. All uncolored. Since I've started collecting these things, they've quickly become my favorite items in my collection. Which is surprising, considering how cheaply they can be gotten. It's especially nice to be able to read the corresponding articles.
