Default The Monster by Heitman

Posted By: Scot Reader


Thanks, Michael. Bill H.'s book was a watershed, but with T206 there is always more to learn. Even though my own effort is only a year old, there are already a couple of (relatively minor)changes I would make based on new information. For example: 1) There are a few subjects that I identified as "possible" 150-onlys that have since been revealed with 350 backs; 2) Some information has developed on the Kleinow and Smith variations that would have caused me to classify them differently than I did. This information only came to light because of Net54 contributors (Ted Z. Jamie H, Brian W. etc. etc.). Someday I would like to compile all the information on this board into a new encyclopedia of vintage baseball cards. Lew Lipset did a magnificent job with his encyclopedia--but also like Bill H., Lew's effort is a generation old.
