I was absolutely thrilled to win lot #1150 - the 1867 Bernards Base Ball Club of Basking Ridge, NJ Scorebook.
It's an absolutely amazing look into the history of baseball in New Jersey, IMO, and an incredible piece that's traveled more than a century through the State's baseball culture, includes game scores from 1867 through 1980, a number of great autographs, and a bunch of news clippings that chronicle the journey that this book has taken throughout the years.
Given the Elysian Fields game happened in 1846 and this book is from 1867, I can't imagine that there are many surviving pieces of NJ baseball memorabilia that are older than this one.
Best part: I won it for the opening bid.
