FS: Civil War Era 1865-1890s Baseball Original Woodcut Collection! $1,000 shipped. If you are interested, please email me, because I don't get notifications from this site for some reason. Here is a video of them all:

Includes roughly 25 pieces!
A few facts:
- 1865 to 1890s
- At least one player is pictured who was in the Civil War
- 1865 Brooklyn team
- the first championship team ... and the first sports team invited to the white house.
- 1869 Red Stockings - the first professional championship team (includes the entire publication!)
- Loads of hall of famers like: Buck Ewing, Cap Anson, Mike King Kelly, Old Hoss Radbourn, Timothy Keefe, Harry Wright, George Wright, Monte Ward and more. These guys were the Babe Ruths / Cy Youngs / etc. of their generation - not just because of what they did on the field, but because they were true pioneers - many of whom are responsible for how the game of baseball is played today!
- Also included are among the earliest professional baseball photographs that were printed!
I'll remove the framed piece from the frame for better shipping, unless someone local picks these up.
