FIVE DECADES OF EARLY BASEBALL!
1880's - 1920's
Here is a complete, genuine collection of 5 original Newspapers covering 50 years of early baseball. Whether your interest is in the Orioles, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cardinals, Athletics, Cubs, Wolverines, Pirates, Browns, Giants, or the many other early baseball franchises, you are sure to find some reference to your beloved team. View a snapshot of many of the renowned "Hall of Famers" through their day to day performances through the eyes of those who were there. You will receive 5 original newspapers - 1 from each of the following decades: 1880's, 1890's, 1900's, 1910's, and 1920's.
Each set of 5 papers is guaranteed to contain professional baseball box scores (with game summaries), league standings, baseball headlines, and related vintage baseball stories. This is a unique opportunity to follow professional baseball's development "first hand" over a span of 50 years spanning the turn of the century. All newspapers in the set are major Detroit area papers, which were known for their excellent coverage of early baseball. The photos below are examples of the coverage you can expect to receive in each set. For the experienced collector, Early Newspapers provide an excellent way to expand your collection of baseball memorabillia, and for the new collector, they provide a relatively untapped and inexpensive way to begin a collection.
Since each newspaper is an original (not a reproduction), they have light browning, minor tears at the margin edges (with no loss of print), and some have separation at the left edge seam (with no loss of print).
