Spalding's early-30's guide to basketball, signed by the sport's unlikely creator. James Naismith, who created the game while working at a YMCA, has autographed the guide in black fountain ink, graded 6/10 due to a slight smudge on the first name. His personal copy of the guide, "J. Naismith" was also written on the side of the book and on the back, though the back isn't in his handwriting. In VG-EX condition, the book was published by the American Sports Publishing Company of New York.
