Well-worn 1939 edition of the United States Card Collectors Catalog, as produced by hobby pioneer Jefferson Burdick. The first edition of the ACC, containing early card descriptions and pricing (S.F. Hess California League cards for a nickel apiece! Rambles for three cents!), a fascinating window into early hobby history. POOR condition, its cover and front pages pulling out of the binding. Still, a seldom-seen publication from the dawn of the hobby, the very first American Card Catalog.
