Baseball's first-ever yearbook, predating the Spalding and Reach Guides. Published in Chicago by Mussey & Harper in 1888, The Pictorial Base Ball Album contains profiles of the game's stars and founding fathers like George Wright and Cap Anson, stats, illustrations, schedules, etc. This is a profoundly important find, in amazingly good condition, bathed a golden brown rime. There's a slight crease down the middle of the cover and through about half the pages. A must-have for 19th Century collectors.
