Harpers Weekly Woodcuts
Posted By: Rob L
I saw the recent posts which inspired me to bid on a woodcut of the 1869 Red Stockings. I'm not really sure what the value of these are so I am curious as to your thoughts (ie. was this a good deal): |

For future reference, 'Leslie's Illustrated', which was a similar magazine to Harper's Weekly, also issued a number of nice baseball woodcuts. In fact, the Holy Grail of baseball woodcuts (186? memorial to the singlar James Creighton) was in a Leslie's Illustrated. |

For anybody who is interested, I am posting a Creighton Leslies double page print this weekend on ebay. It is a great piece, and they usually sell for a very reasonable price. |

Scott, hasn't Elliot informed you about the Buy/Sell/Trade post? ... Just joking .... Though made a few years after his death, I beleive that this woodcut is the only vintage James Creighton item that is practically attainable for the normal collector ... There are perhaps a couple of original Creighton photos and that Peck & Snyder card (also made after his death), but those are like very expensive hen teeth. I've never even seen any of those offered for sale. |

You meticulous metaphor mixer. Hen's teeth are actually very cheap when you can find them. |

My meaning was that, even if I could find one, I couldn't afford it. |

Most of the images of rare photos and other items that are mentioned on this board can be located in one or more of the VCBC back issues. I purchased five or so at a time until I had all of them, and I access several each week. |

Harper's and Leslie's woodcuts are one of the most economical ways to obtain many vintage images of many 19th century players. They also look great framed up. |

Rob, the buyer did very good on that Harpers piece. I paid twice for it 5 years ago in a frame. I though I did good? |
