Endorsements from the greatest stars of the "dead ball" era, make this Reach Base Ball Goods catalog a prize catch. Dated 1912 on the back cover, this antique publication takes the field in excellent shape, with a tight spine, clean surfaces, nice gloss, and only moderate wear, adding up to a (VG-EX) rating. Given the A.J. Reach Co. was based in Philadelphia, it's fitting that both the front and back covers are decorated with players from the great Athletics dynasty, which won championships in 1910, 1911, and 1913. Pumping up the value even further are photos of period superstars on each of this catalog's 32 pages, including Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Nap Lajoie, Eddie Collins, Frank Baker, Joe Jackson, and many others. Opening Bid $200.
