OTish - Vintage Basketball / Newspaper Collecting
Posted By: Joseph
In terms of historical interest, for me nothing beats an old baseball scrapbook assembled by a fan of, say, the Detroit Tigers in the 1930s. Years ago, I was an avid and active collector of such items and have a couple hundred of them. Occasionally the books would have ticket stubs and such, but for the most part, they were newspaper clippings which I've spent many hours persusing. Fascinating stuff, which would only be available in many cases by a trip to a library in, say, Detroit. |

I have always felt that newpapers are extremly under appricated. You are still able to get 1850-60 papers like the Spirit of the Times with great baseball content for 10-15 dollars per issue. A glance at the pervious three month of Lelands shows that even bound editions covering an entire year in the 1860's will only run you about $250. I cannot understand the despartiy between somthing like a newspaper from the 1860 and a Baseball guide from the same period. Is the guide so much rarer that it justifies prices 100X what the newpaper goes for. |
