Signed - 1893 Spalding Baseball Guide
Posted By: Rhys
I once owned a Spalding guide signed twice by Tim Murnane from his estate but unless someone was signing it to identify ownership (usually on the first two pages) I have never seen another signed Spalding guide. The signature is not that of 1910's player Elmer Koestner and nobody else with that last name ever played major league ball that I can find so I would guess it was just the guy who owned the book. Value is neither added or depreciated from the signature in my opinion. An 1893 Spalding guide in that shape is somewhere between $100-$250. |

Rhys beat me to it. The original owner may have just signed his name to it. |

Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I just received an email from a friend of mine who has been researching this as well. There was a player named "Koeshner" on the Yale baseball team in 1892. We have yet to find out the first name, but I did notice that page 101, where the signature is located, has details about Yale, Harvard, & Princeton. As soon as I find something definitive, I will let you guys know. Again...thanks for all your help. |

Sorry about that. It's always interesting to find out the bids that weren't executed. Recently I was bidding manually on a lot in the last half minute, and for no apparent reason ebay asked me to reenter my username and password. By the time I finished typing, the lot had closed. I never got a bid in. |
