Reward: Confirmation of existence of dust jacket for Won in the Ninth

[baseballart]

Ted posted a reward for confirmation of a T206 Cobb bat off black Lennox on the card side.

Here, I'm offering a similar reward for anyone who can provide a scan of a dust jacket for Mathewson's Won in the Ninth

I've seen probably two hundred copies in person and on-line over my collecting time, and no dust jacket. It should--it must--have one.

Since we don't have the deep pockets of our card kin (or at least I don't), it's only a $100 reward to anyone who can post the dust jacket image (Scan of book taken from Greg's copy)

I also have seen dozens of copies including some purported to be signed but never a jacket.

Max,
Like Christy said be a real man and never wear a jacket..

Good one.

I had been looking for twenty years for a DJ of the first edition (a 1925 edition DJ has been around for years). Many said the Putnam first didn't exist.

That image is, of course, of my book

I don't think it had one...

I have seen no evidence that it did not. I've scoured magazines for ads for the book. I've seen advertisements for other books where the ad doesn't show or state a dust jacket, but I have the dust jacket in hand.

I have probably about 100 dust jackets from the 1910 era , where there is an applique paste-down cover on the front. Dust jackets were very common on books by 1900, but were routinely tossed away.

Many of these jackets are on my other Flickr site Sports Book Covers https://www.flickr.com/photos/127734199@N02
