3 Copies of The Baseball World Weekly Tabloid from 1928.
Lot 361. 3 Copies of The Baseball World Weekly Tabloid from 1928. First time we’ve had copies of this self-described “independent weekly newspaper covering all branches of professional and amateur baseball.” The issues, all part of Volume I, are for July 2, 9 and 30. Each contains 16 pages. Two are identified as sample copies. One issue is g and complete with many pages separated; a second is g-vg, and a third is vg. In an open letter in one issue, the newspaper encourages Judge Landis to investigate the rowdy and violent aspects of minor league baseball, including a manager’s attack on a fan and a fan’s attack on an umpire, allegedly incited by the team owner. Interesting and apparently short-lived competition for The Sporting News.
Winning Bid $45.
