Quarterly wants posting

As always, I am looking for early and unusual baseball books, including the following:

With or without dust jacket

Thouey, Boston Base Ball Club
Ward, Baseball
Ward, How to Become a Ball Player
Pfeiffer, Scientific Baseball
Cobb, Busting Em
Flood, Splendid Splinter
Everett, Thine Not Mine


Need a copy with dust jacket

McGraw, My 30 Years in Baseball
Chance, Bride and the Pennant
Barbour, several titles
Heyliger/Hawley Williams several titles
Beaumont Hearts and the Diamond
Mathewson Won in the Ninth, any of the Matty Dodd Mead books
Scott, Third Base Thatcher in dj
other early fiction in dust jacket

Let me know what you have, as there are many other titles I need. As well as cash, I have a number of interesting cards available for trade, including a n N175 Gypsy Queen of Dailey, T204 Sallee, E92 O'Hara 50 and some others.

Cards listed at http://flickr.com/photos/baseballart/sets/72057594052349689/

Thanks,

Max

Hey Max
just wanted to give you the head up on some books listed on ebay- I have no contection to the auctions and the items are way out of my price range -- most impressive there is a The Book of the Muffin (1867)- I have heard of this one but didn't know that any copies existed, also a 1860 Ball player's companion
seller pbagaleries

I figure if I can't buy-em I'll at least be able to see pictures of them if you can
Again no conection to auction just giving you a heads up

Good Luck
Jason
