Compiled here is the largest group of these we have yet discovered. This Boston-area magazine on newspaper pulp was one of the earliest to cover our national game. Two of the issues cover "live" the famed 1869 Red Stockings Tour. All the others cover baseball for 1868. The magazines are in VG+ condition overall. All issues contain a baseball graphic in the center of the cover.
