10,000 title baseball book collection

[baseballart]

Next Friday, I will be looking at a massive book collection (plus 350,000 volumes) which is said to have around 10,000 baseball books. I suspect 99% of the baseball books will be common or uncollectible titles, but if anyone wants to send me titles they are specifically looking for that aren't on ebay or the on-line services (or are grossly overpriced there), please send me an email with your list to baseballart @ gmail.com (without the spaces), This will help me decide whether to pick up titles which I might otherwise not pick-up for my collection.

Not looking for anything in particular unless they have a copy of "The Nebraska Indians: A Complete History" that you can get cheap...Good luck, you must be like a kid before Christmas...is the anticipation killing you?

Hey Max

You never posted anything from this collection- was there anything interesting or was it all just common stuff

I guess the best thing about the collection was that I got to see my relatives that weekend.

It was complete junk--99% library copies. There may have been some baseball books at the back of the piles of mildewed, library rejects (as in rejects from the library sale!) but I couldn't see them.

I left after a couple of hours.

You didn't see any baseball books or you didn't see any that weren't junk?

I saw two baseball books. There may have been more stacked away in the piles of junky books, but the situation was so bizarre that I couldn't stick around to see if there were. It was a cross of Deliverance and A Bookman's Wake.
