1894 Prospect Park Program - Brooklyn Dodgers Schedule

[joedawolf]

I have an original 1894 Prospect Park Concerts schedule booklet. That was the first year the park opened and the Brooklyn Dodgers played their games at the park. This booklet includes the 1894 Brooklyn Dodges schedule. The booklet is in very good condition - except for the back cover, which shows some damage.

I have included some photos and was wondering what the booklet is worth. Thanks for your help.

Without photos inside the book I would guess the value to be in the $75-125 range for a Brooklyn collector as is. If you could soak the paper off the back to make it in better condition I think it would be in the $100-$200 range to the right person. Just my opinion but I think it would have a pretty good appeal to a Brooklyn Collector.

It was bought at auction in the 1970's for $400 - thought it would be worth more than double that by now.

It might be worth more, you never know. That was just my opinion but I will admit I have never seen one before.

I would agree with Rhys, right around 100 dollars. Of course, all it takes is two
collectors who really want it, and it could go for double that.

We are collectors of early Brooklyn items and have Brooklyn Federal Programs plus a few early Brooklyn NL programs

Programs in general have maintained a steady price for the past 5 years, and the more common early programs are about 50% of what they were at
the market's peak- around 1999-2000

We were wondering if the program has any player photos or biographies
of players.

We,like the others believe that the program is worth less than you paid,
however, depending on condition, we would pay between $200-250

All he wants to know is ..... How Much?

[Jim VB]

Perhaps he thought the Dorskind Group offer was $200-$250 PER associate?

The funny part is that he did this with another item a little while back. Here is the link:

In that thread he ask "what's it worth" then just so happens to sell it a little later. The problem that I have with this thread, is that he came on here "asking advice," then to give it further advertising, states that someone offered him $600!!!! dollars for an item that people on the board with a lot of credibility in the sports memorabilia world, said is worth maybe $100-200 bucks.

Come on buddy, I know we are just baseball collectors, but really....

Someone on this message board bought that last item. He has been writing on this thread and can attest to that.

If I knew the value, I wouldn't ask - I thought it was OK to ask.

Is there any way to end this thread? I thought it was OK to ask questions, I'm not looking to get into any arguments - appreciate all the input on this.
