Got some spare change?

March 5, 2024

This popped up on my daily Google alerts for baseball book-related stuff from Fine Books & Collections:

“Early Baseball Sheet Music, Arrowsmith’s Maps, JFK Presentation Copy: Auction Preview”

Image: Potter & Potter — “The earliest known baseball lithograph, for “The Live Oak Polka,” offered at Potter & Potter this week.”

According to the accompanying story about sales the writer would be watching this week

At Potter & Potter on Thursday, 660 lots of Ephemera, Americana & Historical Memorabilia, including a c.1908–1909 photographic portrait of the Cuban Almendares Baseball Club of Key West, Florida ($10,000–20,000). A volume of sheet music which includes a copy of the first known baseball sheet music (“The Live Oak Polka“) and the earliest known baseball lithograph could sell for $8,000–16,000. A collection of some 240 nineteenth-century tobacco labels is estimated at $6,000–10,000.

Click here to see what a $10,000-20,000 photo looks like.

Happy shopping.
