 Lot 155. Scarce Copy of Nellie Fox’s Biography with Signatures of the Authors and Mrs. Fox. This self-published 2000 softcover is difficult to find. Titled “Little Nel: The Nellie Fox Story,” it was written by David Gough and Jim Bard and has a foreword by Joanne Fox, Nellie’s widow. Both Gough and Bard are members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). They signed a letter asking a writer to review the book. Mrs. Fox signed the foreword. The 326-page book, which is decently illustrated with photos, has creases in the upper corners. Otherwise, the book is clean and desirable because of its scarcity and the autographs. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Minimum Bid $40.
