REDUCED: Prewar baseball guides (John McGraw, Spalding)

[Rob D.]

Rather than scan these, I took three photos that I hope accurately show condition of the front and back covers and spines. Please also read descriptions. No tape on any of the guides. If you have questions or would like larger photos/scans, don't hesitate to ask.

Please add $5 shipping (no matter how many guides are purchased) for delivery within the United States.

PayPal is fine. No need to "gift" your payment. (Check, cash, money order also OK).

A commitment to buy takes precedence over an ongoing negotiation.

Feel free to email any questions.

Thanks,

Rob

1905 Fox's Athletic Library Official Base Ball Guide -- Really nice photo of John McGraw on cover. Tear along upper quarter of front cover/spine. Some paper missing on spine. SOLD

1912 Reach Official American League BaseBall Guide -- Front cover tight; back cover a little loose on top third but totally intact. Impressive content, as you might expect. SOLD

1919 Spalding's Base Ball Guide -- Both covers completely separated. It's a shame, too, because otherwise it's a very clean copy. SOLD

1930 Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide -- Front cover separated. $12 $5

1935 Reach Official American League Base Ball Guide -- Awesome image of Lou Gehrig on cover. Some spotting on cover and clear staining (?) along Gehrig's left leg. SOLD

I'm kind of surprised the 1905 with McGraw hasn't sold. I figured that was one of the cooler looking books. That said, I don't have a lot of experience selling these, so it's quite possible I missed the mark on the price of that one.

Rather than doing the standard B/S/T price reduction of 2 percent on a daily basis to keep my listing at the top of the page, I'd rather actually get these sold.

My hope is $30 plus $5 shipping on the McGraw guide and $5 plus $5 shipping on the 1930 Spalding guide will get it done.

Thanks, Rob
