Default supplement...no...cut out of rare book

Posted By: runscott 

This was cut out of an 1889 book "Atletic Sports in America, England and Australia". It's page 102 (not numbered), and the "number 10" is the plate number in the book. 6 1/2" x 9" - nowhere near a supplement size. I'm not knocking the seller - perhaps he's never handled a supplement - but all this stuff about "unknown magazine", "dealers", "unknown M type", is a bit perturbing. This is a beautiful book in and of itself, and it's even more disturbing to see it parted out, than the more common Spalding and Reach guides.
