Posted By: <b>Corey R. Shanus</b><p>I only recently acquired the book so I don't yet have pictures to show you. The book was sold at an out-of-the-hobby auction that was also listed on eBay. So if you go to eBay under completed items and search "Gutsmuths" you will find it. I'm told the book is quite rare, only a very few 1796 versions known. A friend of mine quite knowledgable about it said the last one he was aware that was available for sale was some 6 years ago in Germany through a German dealer. Being a German book, I imagine that most copies reside there.<br /><br />I really didn't know too much about it until I had the opportunity to acquire it and did my research. The more I learned about it, the more amazed I became that such a book existed and the more impressed I became as to its historical importance regarding the origins of the game of baseball.

Posted By: <b>boxingcardman</b><p>I collect Academy Awards tickets and I got one from the 1948 show this year. Also picked up a Bill Clinton signed book tour press pass, a PSA 9 signed card of James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek), and a WWII program from the San Francisco Seals with Lefty O'Doul on the cover. Oh, and a 1951 Ringside card signed by my cousin Ray Miller. <br><br>Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc
