Entire collection of APBA Journals up for bid

ajebay

Francis Rose is selling the complete collection of APBA Journals on Ebay.  The issues start in AJ’s first year of 1967 all the way to 2002, 363 in all. 

Interesting to note that the early ones aren’t distribution issues but rather Len Gaydos’ original copies.

From the Ebay description:

 

It is widely known that the early AJs were mimeographed, and the few that survived are usually found in difficult-to-read condition, since the mimeographed pages often run or blur over the years.  Len’s archive, however, has stayed in pristine condition, and since they are original archive editions, they don’t even have address labels on the backs from the initial issue in 1967 until Tom Heiderscheit took over in 1977.

 

Rose’s “Buy It Now” price is $1600 but the collection is up for auction for anyone who wants to put up a bid.

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.
