Quit my job? - 1916 Babe Ruth Spalding Guide scouting report??

[oldirtyfishkilla]

Hi all,

So, I'm asking for your help to see if I have something here...

I recently purchased a number of NY Americans photo montages that came out of an original 1916 "Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide". While looking at one of them, I turned it over and saw this scouting report on Babe Ruth when he was 18 years old. The 16 was written by the seller to denote the year of the guide but I'm just wondering if I have something here??

I have seen these montages graded and slabbed before but nothing like this.
Any help will be great and much appreciated!
Thanks, Dan

What you have is exactly what you said you have. A few pages removed from a 1916 Spalding Guide.
Worth a few bucks at most.

Thanks for your quick reply...

I would never want to encourage someone's ripping pages out of a non-replaceable historical item like this, but I hadn't seen that scouting report - very interesting read.

As David said, it's basically worthless unless you can find someone else who doesn't realize it's worthless.

although it may not be of value in money (yet) its a real cool piece. I have some expensive cards. But one of my favorite things is a 1914 reach guide team photo of babe ruth on the baltamore international team.

Thanks for those of you who left a positive response...

I figured it is what it is but you just never know!
