The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin and Company (2008)
the most info on Old Judge cards

Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards, 3rd Edition (2013)
- By far, My favorite source.

Mint Condition: How Baseball Cards Became an American Obsession (2010)
- more about the hobby in general.

Additionally I have the following:

Beckett Baseball Card Alphabetical Checklist #11 (2005)
- which is very handy for finding all cards available of specific players

The Cracker Jack Collection: Baseball’s Prized Players (2013)

Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, 15th Edition (2006)
- which I discontinued purchasing every year once I started concentrating exclusively on pre-1981 cards and the Vintage Catalog started being published.

Thanks Raymond! Just ordered the Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball cards based on the recommendations here. Not a big financial commitment and what looks to be a good starting place.

Thanks for the long list! Dave
