1885 Official Baseball Record.
Lot 30. 1885 Official Baseball Record. A very obscure two year periodical devoted entirely to baseball. Offered here is a bound Volume 1 (the first year) including the first issue of July 15, 1885 to Issue 63, dated October 1, 1885. Four page, 12 1/4" x 9 3/4" issues came nearly every day. Each issue had standings for the National League and American Association, batting records, a delightful "Baseball Notes" section and baseball related advertisements. Forty six issues featured a woodcut of a ballplayer with biographical information. The impressive list included 9 HOF'ers (Kelly, Spaulding, Keefe, Connor, Radbourn, Ward, Ewing, O'Rourke, Brouthers) and other prominent players like Joe Start, James Mutrie and Tony Mullane. A detailed list of the 46 woodcuts is available on request. The pages are on a good quality paper and are easily readable. The cover is loose, but otherwise all is in excellent condition.
Winning Bid $1,331.
