Ditto that. Would thoroughly enjoy seeing some older, original 'official scorer's scorecards'.
...especially from significant games. Do you suppose most were simply discarded decades ago? Hoping some images might be posted...

Well, because Retrosheet is missing some games, I would bet that they used to be discarded.

I wouldn't be surprised if large collections of them exist with families or friends of the men who did them.

And, I'll bet most beat writers kept theirs.

I'm a scorebook collector and have some that were the team's official scorebook for home games. Mine are from the late 19th century and early 20th. One question I've always had is - When did they switch to these score cards and start exchanging them prior to the game? Any thoughts?

A large collection including thousands of official scorer scoresheets has recently been donated to the San Diego LIbrary's Baseball Research Center. The scoresheets range from the 1940's until about 2007, and cover several leagues. More information can be found at the link below ...
