A collection guaranteed to keep the winner occupied for hours on end is this one consisting of 10 baseball publications dating between 1934 and 1959 including Who's Who in Baseball, Famous Slugger Yearbook, Baseball Almanac and the Sporting News Record Book. Adding to the appeal of the collection, 9 of the 10 included examples have been signed by their cover athletes. The oldest example included in a copy of The Sporting News Record Book for 1934. Featuring Carl Hubbell on the cover, the book measures approx. 3” x 5 ¼” and exhibits moderate wear while remaining complete. Six of the remaining nine included books show Stan Musial on the cover and have been signed by “Stan the Man” and all have been signed by him over his image with bold blue marker signatures that show well. One of the Musial signatures is also accompanied by a Lou Boudreau signature in the same blue ink and appearing well. Three single signed “Who’s Who in Baseball” issues round out the collection, once again featuring Lou Boudreau as well as Hal Newhouser and Bob Feller. Boudreau and Newhouser have signed in crisp blue marker while Feller has signed in blue ballpoint pen with all the autographs displaying without issue. The majority of the issues show light-to-moderate wear, with some exhibiting heavier wear and damage, with the collection offering endless hours of vintage reading material. A JSA Auction LOA will accompany the collection.
