Hey, How come up what we got here.

So I have here what is considered the first written history of baseball.

The first written history of baseball.

This is cool.

I love how seriously look good.

And I love the mustache is super cool.

And what year is this?

I believe it's 1910.

I did some research on a book, and I believe this is the first book that incorporated, like biographies of just every major league and former major league player of that era.

I'd love the photographs in this thing.

Honus Wagner.

That's pretty cool, Tyrus.

Cop.

Good bye.

Penny was the greatest baseball player in the world ever.

The prince in these books, I mean, I imagine would be worth money.

The pages are missing.

Are they know the book is complete?

How much you want for it?

I was gonna get 1313 100 bucks.

All right, so I would like to have a few people, maybe take a look at it.

Okay.

Quite honestly, I've never seen this book before.

I've never heard of this book.

Doesn't mean it's not worth money.

It just means I haven't heard of it.

So do you mind if I give someone a call?

Take a look at this.

It's a cool book.

It came out in the early 19 hundreds.

It's packed with photos.

You mind if I open it up?

Yeah, sure.

So you've heard of the book?

Yeah.

Definitely.

Heard of the book in the sports collectibles world.

This is definitely considered the baseball Bible.

It's signed by the by the author, and he's got a P S.

A on it.

So we know it's no.

That's good.

Alfred Henry Spink established the Sporting News.

It was considered the first baseball newspaper that came out into the public.

Okay, what do things work?

I think in a retail market, you're looking at $1200.

Okay, I just want one more person.

Look at it, because this is a little weird, is sort of crosses two lines.

We have, like, sports world.

We have, like, the book world.

And just bear with me.

I just want a more personal look at it.

I'll be right back.

All right?

She's the book nerd.

I prefer book expert.

Okay.

All right.

I think this is the national game.

It's a history of baseball from 107 years ago.

This book is definitely on its own, Signed or not very collectible.

This is something that people who are interested in history of baseball they want overtime.

These these people become legends, right?

This is when that first really starts happening.

It's a myth making book, right?

We're finally being able to look back upon all of these formative years instead of being like in the rough and tumble of it.

You're saying, Oh, remember this happened?

That happened, and you start shaping the myth of what Baseball Woz and because bigger and grander.

But I do want to look at condition, though with a book like this condition is really important, it looks well read.

It's not bad.

How about kind of presents is really important.

So this actually has a really bright guilt and that matters.

When you turn it a little bit, it's less so.

It's a little bit more dull here.

He's got strong appeal.

Yeah, in the book, world will say it shows Well, okay, and it's it's signed by.

The author has got the paperwork here.

I unlike a lot of memorabilia dealers, much much prefer having inscriptions rather than signatures because it gives you more data toe work with.

So I greatly prefer inscriptions.

So, yeah, in terms of condition, it's I mean, it has a couple flaws, but for this book, it is quite nice.

So I had Dan come by and look at it says, You know, he told me things were like 1200 bucks, but in my head, I'm sort of thinking this one of a bookstore thing, that a sports store thing.

And that's why I called you up, right?

So you're right that they're different markets.

So in my experience, there are book people who also love sports, and we'll buy books about the history of sports.

Okay, so what, you think it's worth talking about?

What I know copies of this have traded at This is a pretty nice copying condition.

Is king with it when it comes to books?

And the other thing is that it is scarce toe.

Have it signed.

And so what?

I would expect for a copy in this condition to go for in the book market?

I wouldn't feel bad pricing a 25 100.

Great.

Okay.

You're absolutely amazing.

Glad I could help.

Told you she was a book.

Thanks.

So when you walked in here, how much money do you want?

I wanted 1300 but, I mean, I I never had a book expert.

Look at the book.

And I mean, I always thought that it was in really good condition.

So I'll give you 1300 bucks.

Can you do stuff?

No.

It will take a while to sell.

I know.

She said, $2500.

And I'm offering you 1300.

But you have to understand the market.

There's a book.

It is not going to sell immediately.

I give you 1300 bucks.

I think we're both happy that way.

All right, sweet.

Um, I'll be true.

Right around the corner, and we'll just paperwork.

All right.

Thank you.

I got a really good price at 1300.
