Description:1930s Baseball scrapbook with (16) 1933 Goudey cards on the inside cover incl. Jimmy Foxx and (4) other Hall of Famers (Book EX/MT overall) Attractive period scrapbook (11"x12.5") with newsprint Philadelphia Athletics player portraits decorating the outside front cover and the inside filled with A's related content. The original owner affixed (16) 1933 Goudey baseball cards to the inside of the front cover which include Jimmy Foxx, Eppa Rixey, Ted Lyons, KiKi Cuyler, Leo Durocher, and others. Cards have appearance of those which would have graded GD-EX/MT (one or two maybe as strong as EX/MT-NM) with coloration generally well preserved by years of being shielded from exposure. It is presumed that they can not be removed without damage to backs. Filled throughout with period newsprint pictures and articles which are neatly arranged. In addition, there is a small portrait of Connie Mack tucked in and several full page newspaper pages which are folded and held in envelopes attached to otherwise blank pages. Well cared for with touch of light wear the result of infrequent handling and all interior pages are fully intact (note - many pages have toned in places due to contact with the articles inside). Some light wear to front cover images: Book EX/MT overall ($500-$750)
