Olde Tyme Baseball
$9.95 (plus shipping & handling)
This collection presents a Library of Congress treasure -- 2,100 early baseball
cards dating from 1887 to 1914. The cards show such legendary figures as
Ty Cobb stealing third base for Detroit, Tris Speaker batting for Boston,
and pitcher Cy Young posing formally in his Cleveland uniform. Other notable
players include Connie Mack, Walter Johnson, King Kelly, and Christy Mathewson.
Cigarette card collector Benjamin K. Edwards preserved these baseball cards
in albums with more than 12,000 other cards on many subjects. After his death,
Edwards' daughter gave the albums to noted poet and Lincoln biographer Carl
Sandburg, who donated them to the Library's Prints and Photographs Division
in 1954.
