Default Baseball book market: not dead, but merely resting? Beautiful spalding on ebay

Posted By: Mike McKee

I agree with Scott's response to a point. But people collect books for various reasons. One is to read obviously and the other is to view the plates in the book.

A book like Bust' em by Ty Cobb has no pictures and a dust jacket that is almost unique. This is the kind of book I agree totally with Scott. There is no allurement there.

The Church book on the other hand is a totally different story. The plates are beautiful and each plate is almost like a large card.

Book collectors have always been in the minority and in hard times the minority just got smaller.

Mike
