This is only a preview. The auction will open on: 3/17/2025 1:00:00 AM
This is an important aggregation of the elegant 1913 Baseball Magazine (M113) Premiums that showcased many of the greatest ball players from the period. This particular group is headlined by many of the biggest stars of the era, including Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Grover Alexander, Nap Lajoie, Tris Speaker, and others. The black-and-white and sepia-toned photographs measure a whopping 9-by-17 inches and often featured the work of the most famous photographers of the age, including Charles Martin Conlon, along with many of the prominent news services. In an array with no duplication and a technical condition designation of Fair or Poor because of holes and tears to the fragile paper stock, the group still presents decently, with much of the aforementioned shortcomings being confined to the considerable border areas. Here’s the lineup (20): Alexander, Archer, Baker, Cobb, Collins, Doyle, Evers, Fletcher, Gowdy, Lajoie, Maranville, Marquard, Mathewson, McGinnis, Meyers, Rucker, Rudolph, Speaker, Walsh and Wood.
