Great collection. From an old time collector. Wonderful objects because of the covers. Overall VG unless noted. Typically run approx. 96 pages. These early issues are next to impossible to find because their small size (approx. 3"x5") made them throwaways. Various issues feature statistics, schedules, articles, and advertisements for early baseball equipment. 1911 (pieces missing from cover), features poem "Casey At the Bat"; 1914 (Ban Johnson on cover) 1915 (Comisky); 1916 (Joseph Lannin, owner of World's Champion Red Sox; 1921 (Ruth/George Sisler); 1922 (Hornsby); 1923 (George Sisler); 1924 (Everett Scott); 1925 (Walter Johnson); 1926 (Max Carey - writing, piece missing); 1927 (O' Farrell); 1928 (Lou Gehrig); 1929 (Ruth and Gehrig); 1930 (Cochrane).
