Spalding & Reach Guides
A question was raised on the other side about the Bull Durham Baseball Guides of 1910 & 1911.
I posed the question before moving over to the memorabilia side about a checklist of variations for both the Spalding and Reach Baseball Guides.
Spalding issued spanish laguage editions, local editions, Record Books and a few college baseball guides. I have no clue about different issues for the Reach guides. Does anyone out there have such a list?
I have at least one of each (either Spalding or Reach) from 1883 on but have not owned nough to come up with regional or other types of changes.
Several years the late John Spalding did a wonderful checklist of Spalding Football Guides (some years there were three different editions). John also did a checklist of the Spalding instructional series which ran for decades and is huge!
The Baseball Guides are easily the most collectible but I have never seen a list of variations. Anyone out there have a list? Max?
