Any other baseball book collectors out there?
Posted By: Anonymous
I am new to this forum but glad to have found you folks. I have been a collector of baseball books for several years. Actually, I was inspired to get into books by Barry's great article in VCBC back in, I'm guessing 1995 or 1996. I picked up quite a few of the affordable early volumes including a decent "Play Ball" by Mike Kelly about 10 years ago. Have probably about 700 baseball books now and running out of room. My wife and I are talking about relocating to Cooperstown where we have a summer home. So maybe I'll go into the book business some day. You are right about antiquarian book dealers. They don't seem to care about actually selling books. At a show, one dealer actually told me that he liked to keep his good stuff for display and didn't care if it sold. He made his money selling large numbers of $10-15 books.
