1865 Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper Double Sheet of Baseball Player Portraits

[bstrading]

November 4, 1865 edition, featuring a woodcut print of an early game as well as several player portraits. The caption at the bottom reads: "Great Base Ball Match Between the Atlantic and Eckford Clubs of Brooklyn, At the Union Base Ball Grounds, Brooklyn, E.D., Oct 13, With Portraits of the Leading Players of the Principal Clubs of New York, Brooklyn and Newark." .
This is an awesome piece. Do a google search on it for more info. I am willing to trade it for baseball gu, autos, prospects, hof'ers, memorabilia, or basically anything.

Just how much in trade value are you putting on this? I am interested.

I would like to get $500 in book value for this or somewhere close. I have seen reported sales of $462 & 691. The $691 was framed. I think $500 BV is fair.

Hey brother, I love it, but can't move any of my pc for it. Thanks for giving the opportunity though.

It wouldn't have to be PC if you want it. It is in great shape that is for sure and there are about 3 other pages that I would send with it and they have some value too.
