Posted By: <b>Anthony S.</b><p>I agree. If you type Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards into an Ebay search there's someone currently selling it in their Ebay store. It arrives with a religious pamphlet (from that particular seller) which I suppose is informative if you were curious as to how Mickey Mantle found Jesus (hint: Bobby Richardson).<br /><br />p.s. I really wish it was an outfielder instead of Richardson, because then you could say things like "he could find Jesus, but he couldn't find the cut-off man."
