[Archive]

Posted By: Glenn

13 Harper's baseball woodcuts. Using the VCBC checklist, this group contains the following: #4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 29 plus Baseball On Skates from 1-26-1884, which is not included in their checklist. #11, The Boston Champions is not the 6-27-1874 issue, but is a supplement issue to an early 1900's Harper's Weekly-a reissue. This group contains ten (10) team images, which include Cap Anson, George & Harry Wright, Hoss Radbourne, Al Spalding, Monte Ward and others; and the Base-Ball At Blackville. With the exception of #12, which has a tear at the top, this group is in outstanding condition. The team images and the Blackville typically list from $50-$150 each on baseball memorabilia web sites.

SOLD



Asking $375, which includes shipping.



I need #2, 21, 31 and 41.



Thanks.

Glenn - would you be interested in a trade? I have a spare copy of #21 and I need #19. Email me at doug.goodman@earthlink.net if you are interested. I will dig out my duplicate and scan it for you.

From the VCBC list, I am looking for #'s 19, 31, 39, 40, 41.

Thanx,
Doug
