(Chicago: The Spink Sport Stories Co., 1921).
Price: $2,500.00
Hardcover. First edition. Three volumes. Brown cloth gilt (we have also seen sets in red cloth gilt). A modest stain at the crown of Volume One, a bit of rubbing, and light general wear, an otherwise tight, very good set. Inscribed by the author: "To H. P. Walton with kindest and best wishes of the author, Al Spink. Chicago, August 3, 1923." Stories about a number of sports by Spink, one of the leading sportswriters of his day, and for whom the sportswriters' wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame is named. For what it's worth, sets in brown cloth seem scarcer than those in red. Either way, complete sets are scarce, especially in this condition.
