3 rare score books from historic events

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

I am offering 3 Score Books which contain some historic events.

I do not know exactly what value to place on them so I am taking serious offers. I have been here long enough to not get offended by low ballers, so if you think an offer is fair, shoot it over.

1. Up for your consideration is quite possibly one of the most unique and eclectic score books we have ever had the pleasure of offering.

This 7 x 5 inch Spalding No. 91-833 scorebook is Jam Packed with 47 professionally and meticulously scored games from the 1942-1946 Major League Baseball and Independent League Baseball seasons.

Scored in the hand of scorekeeper Dick Craig, he allows you to relive these games over 75 years later... one play at a time.

Due to the fact that all these teams and games are East Coast, we believe that Dick Craig worked for a East Coast News company as either a sports reporter or writer. (Please note that this book was discovered alongside 7 other books, all scored in Craig's hand).

The highlights of this scorebook are the 1942 All-Star Game, 1942 Service All-Star Game, 1942-46 complete World Series, 1946 All-Star Game and 1946 2 game playoff between the Dodgers and Cardinals.

The milestones in this score book are plentiful and include Hank Greenbergs 2 World Series Home Runs, Ted Williams 2 Home Runs in the 1946 All-Star game, 1920 World Series Game 5 (not sure why this is in here), Mel Ott 2 Home Run game, Ted Williams only World Series appearance, Stan Musial World Series Home Run and much much more.

A truly ridiculous offering of baseball games that you simply can not find together like this.
