It's not about cards, but one of my favorite books is Souvenir Programs of Five Great World Series by Bert Randolph Sugar (Dover, 1980). It reprints the 1914, 1917, 1919, 1926, and 1934 World Series programs in their entirety.
If you collect the Opie series of WS program reprints, you need this book because the 1926 program included here is the Yankees version, which Opie did not reprint (he did the St. Louis program).
