Default 1885 NL Constitution

Posted By: T206Collector

I picked this up on Ebay about 6 or 7 years ago. I don't remember what I paid, and I haven't seen another since. Anybody have any idea of the scarcity and/or value of this item?

From the November 2006 Hunt's auction:

http://www.huntauctions.com/online/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=29&lot_num=850&lot_qual=

The one in the closed auction sold for $200 and is in better shape than yours so I would guess yours to be around $150.

Default 1885 NL Constitution

Constitutions become rare and desirable the older they get. Ones from the 1870's and 1880's are not too expensive. Those from the 1865-70 era, which show up once in a while, can run $500 or more.

Civil War era ones are quite rare and expensive, and anything pre 1860 is usually in the unique or near unique category. I have an 1859 one from the NAABP (National Association of Amateur Baseball Players) which is the only one from that year I have ever seen.

And there are two types- team and league ones. Team ones tend to be rarer, and the more famous the team, the more desirable.

One of our board members has a unique 1848 Knickerbocker BBC Constitution, and the recently auctioned 1838 Olympics one. Those are unquestionably the two best known in the hobby.

1876 is the first year for the National League which is why that one is so much more valuable than the other NL volumes.
