Vintage Basketball Collectors - What's new (ummm ahh, I mean old)?

[ramram]

Yes, all three are just standard scorebooks (one of them is shown below). The real value is the content. There is little, and in many cases no record, of the details of many of these games.

Rob M.,

Those scorecards are really impressive !!! I am a collector of basketball memorabilia, especially the vintage stuff, but I don't have too much early stuff, since I can't really afford the good stuff plus it's hard to find anyway.

I did a lot of early basketball research some years ago. As a matter of fact, I was a huge TTM autograph collector at the time & used to compile & sell a basketball address list. I tracked guys down who used to play in the NBL, BAA, Eastern League, etc,... and wrote to them for autographs.

I suggest you join APBR and its related message board to correspond to others who are researchers & enthusiasts of early basketball.

I have virtually no early basketball and although not really old, thought you may like this one. My inlaws were both Cal grads and had this in their closet and until recently, didn't even remember having it. The Kingston trio had just released their first record a year earlier. I decided it needed a frame.
