Max Thankyou for the info. I did pay at the upper end of your range and did figure it to be worth a little more than that. Dan yes there is a nice picture of the 1887 team in there My scan is bad as its hard to scan this book but I believe he is seated lower left on the floor.

Even more so than cards, baseball books are a thinly traded market. The additional presence or absence of even one collector can affect the value of an item greatly. This is certainly a great book to have at the high end of the range, or higher.

Now, if some of the rarely seen baseball books would only surface ..

Thanks Max Yes I know what you mean I dont really deal in cards Im a pin collector, I love to see when a hard item comes up or one that hasnt been seen, boy then you know you better have a large WAR CHEST Ready! If you know what I mean! As for books you are right much fewer collectors and it is a thinly traded market but if its the right book then you will see the collectors come out!

I have bought and sold 4-5 of these books over the years and have never gotten less than $200 for a decent copy. I will pay $100 for as many as you want to send my way. Hype it up as a Dummy Hoy collectible as it has TWO large team photos with Hoy in it and you will get $200 for it eventually. This is at shows and fixed price sales but I buy them from time to time in the $75-$100 range in auctions and double the price and sell every single one. So while it might be worth $100 in an auction, if you are patient and market it well, you can double that easy.
