The 1916 features Ty Cobb on the cover and also is in excellent condition. The issues that follow average very good, including the 1921 with Babe Ruth, which has loose covers. The 1931 has tape on the spine and is missing the back cover and the 1934 has loose covers. The condition gradually improves to excellent in the 1940’s, then ex-mt and better. A rarely offered run.
