Selling baseball and other sports book collection
 
After twenty plus years of book collecting, I've decided to sell about 2/3 of the books, including most of the books from 1940s on. I expect there are more than 1000 books, most in baseball, but also rare titles in football, basketball, tennis and hockey. There are a number of signed books.

I'll be sending some groups of books and rare titles to auction houses but I'm looking for ways to deal with the rest, including bulk sale, auction house, or consignment. Shipping books from Canada is very expensive (over $15 a book) so it is not an option to sell individual titles from here. If anyone is interested, please let me know at baseballart@gmail.com. I'll post some photos in the next few days. I don't have a list yet and it will take some time.

Wow, Max, having seen your library that's a substantial collection. People will be happy to add your books to their libraries!

Best wishes for the sale,
Mike

max, wishing you all the best, your collection is certainly one of the all time best, a university library would do well to acquire it en bloc.

Good luck, Max. I also am looking at selling off most of my collection and I only have about 700 books. It will be a daunting task.
