  • [music playing]

  • How you doing?

  • I'm pretty good. What can I help you with?

  • Well, I've got something pretty interesting for you

  • to take a look at today.

  • This is a unique piece of American history right there.

  • That is an 1863 book about the Battle of Gettysburg,

  • and there's a map inside.

  • OK.

  • It's a really cool map, and it's not ruined.

  • I'm here today to sell an 1863 Civil War

  • book that contains the first ever map

  • of the Battle of Gettysburg.

  • I go to auctions frequently, and I bought a box lot,

  • and inside of that box lot was this Gettysburg map.

  • Pretty interesting.

  • It looks like it's in great shape.

  • That's one thing that-- that stands

  • out about it is the condition.

  • This literally looks like it rolled

  • off the presses yesterday.

  • RICK: You know much about it?

  • Yeah.

  • So there's a lot of detail in this map.

  • It was actually put together by a gentleman

  • named Theodore Ditterline.

  • His name is right there.

  • And he created the map based on firsthand accounts

  • of people who were eyewitnesses to the three-day battle.

  • You can see the topography of the battlefield.

  • It shows troop positions, troop movements, railroads.

  • It's also considered to be the very first map

  • of the Battle of Gettysburg.

  • It's really, really interesting.

  • Have you read the whole book?

  • Yeah, and it goes into a lot of detail.

  • For example, it mentions in the beginning

  • about a General Reynolds, who had a bullet through the neck.

  • How much you want for it?

  • Well, I was looking to get $10,500 for it.

  • Through my research, I found that they've

  • sold a similar copy in lesser condition for $13,750.

  • OK.

  • So it's that caliber of a book.

  • Do you know if this is the first edition, second edition?

  • That's a great question. I don't know.

  • I've tried to figure that out.

  • I'm not sure.

  • OK.

  • I know someone who will be sure.

  • I'll have her come down here.

  • She'll know everything about this.

  • She'll know if it's a first edition, second edition,

  • whatever printing.

  • Yep.

  • Sounds great.

  • She'll know way more than you want to know about it, OK?

  • Let's do it.

  • I think it's great that an expert is coming

  • in today to look at my map.

  • It's scarce and it's in fantastic condition,

  • and I think an expert will really

  • be able to validate that.

  • [cash register dings]

  • - Rebecca, how's it going? - Hey, Rick.

  • How are you?

  • - I'm doing great. - Hi.

  • Hi there.

  • Nice to meet you.

  • What do we got?

  • "The Battle of Gettysburg" with a map.

  • Right.

  • Well, the impressive thing about it

  • is this map here is actually kind of a big deal.

  • OK.

  • This map is the first contemporaneous account

  • of the Battle of Gettysburg.

  • So you have individual accounts that

  • are done by war correspondents and magazines and things,

  • and this is the first sort of separate publication

  • that describes exactly what happened during the turning

  • point of the Civil War.

  • What's great about it is that the description

  • comes with this chromolithographed map.

  • So you can see you've got all of the setup of the--

  • of the battle over three days.

  • And of course, you have the really

  • famous fish hook line here of General

  • Meade and the Union forces.

  • This is a really famous sort of line here.

  • This is what they were holding, and holding

  • this was essentially what was going

  • to win or lose the battle.

  • You see here, this is within months of this battle

  • happening, right?

  • There's a real sort of electricity about this map.

  • When you can see this invasion, this

  • is the beginning of the mythologizing of this battle.

  • This whole 24-page pamphlet, this is all

  • meant just to describe this.

  • This publication, make no mistake, it's about the map,

  • and they're just adding this essentially as a-- a way

  • to bolster what they're showing on the map.

  • Was this the first edition?

  • Yes, this is the first edition.

  • This is a document from the time when it was happening.

  • I mean, this came out before the whole war had been concluded

  • and before we really knew how everything ended, right?

  • So this is a really special moment.

  • But the pamphlet itself has a number of condition problems.

  • We've got a little bit of a tear here,

  • which is really common with folding plates like this.

  • But this map is often taken out and framed

  • or something like that, so having

  • it intact is a real, like, win.

  • Well, you know why you're here.

  • What's it worth?

  • Cut to the chase.

  • Yes.

  • I mean, I've seen this particular map

  • go for as much as 15,000.

  • Given the particular condition issues we've discussed,

  • I'd put somewhere closer to 12,500.

  • All right, thanks.

  • I'll call you if I get it.

  • What will you realistically take for it?

  • 10,500.

  • I'll give you 6,500 bucks for it.

  • I think that this is an item that's

  • not going to sit on a shelf.

  • I think that it's highly desirable.

  • It's--

  • It's desirable to a degree, OK?

  • And there's tons of Civil War collectors,

  • not a lot with 12 grand in their pocket just

  • to spend on something.

  • OK.

  • I'd be willing to come down to 9.

  • I'll give you 7 grand.

  • I won't go a penny higher.

  • I think I'm ready to part with it, and 7 grand works for me.

  • All right, 7 grand.

  • I will meet you right over there,

  • and we'll do some paperwork.

  • Sounds good.

  • CRAIG: So I'm walking out of here today with $7,000.

  • I came in here with zero, walking out with 7,

  • and that's fantastic.
