As a collector of older card sets, you have a responsibility to yourself
to understand a bit about the history of each of the major card sets,
Whilst there are more than a dozen books one could read about
pre World War II baseball cards, you might want to begin your
education by visiting the home page of the Old Carboard web site.
Under the logo there is are links for N cards, D cards, E cards etc.
N cards, as we suspect you know, were those cards issued in the
19th century ( there are some nineteenth century cards that
are listed as E cards). Simply click on the link and then visit
the sets.
There are five sets that have check lists. Old Judge did not publish
what we know as a checklist. The company, however, did publish
a list of premium (cabinet) cards that were available.
There are a cadre of E cards which also had checklists which
either appear on the back of the card and/or were available
from the manufacturer.
We hope that you will dedicate the time and resouurces necessary
to garner a comprehensive understanding of the early history
of these American treasures.
