It worked so well last year, I'm again seeking the forum's help in deciding on cards (and getting their image) for the cover of the 2005 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards. This year's cover theme can be summarized as two-player game-action pictures on cards. The central image will be the 1953 Bowman Pee Wee Reese. I've got a great 2004 card from UD and a Kalamazoo Bats card to flank the Reese on the front cover. For the back I have a minor league card. What I need now are cards with that type of action in the following genres: 1) any era regional; 2) 1990s or 2000s chase/insert card 3) Topps card of 1950s-1980s, and 4) any 1930s card. Your suggestions are most welcome. |

Bob--I have a great image for you. It is an unlisted two player SF Hess California League card(the photo type--I don't remember the number). I'll post it tonight if I get the chance. |

Not the prettiest card. Maybe someone out there has a nicer one... |

A large percentage of people may not agree, and the date is a year or two prior to the "1930's" designation, but I really like the Churchman's Ruth card for something like this. |

Usually I'm content to lurk, but have to say Jay's Hess is one of the nicest cards I've ever seen. |

One of my all-time favorite 2 player cards, even though it was posed in a studio and not on the diamond, is the Old Judge of Billy Nash and Hoss Radbourne. |

A couple of 1930 two player cards that I have always thought were cool are both Diamond Stars--#70 Hal Trosky and #96 Lew Riggs. Actually they are both two players plus an umpire, but no one said there couldn't be a monkey in a suit present. |

Thanks much for all the great suggestions. I will definitely try to find a spot for the newly discovered Hess. Others that seem to fill the bill are a T202 center panel suggested by Adam, the 1971 Rojas and the Diamond Star Lew Riggs or maybe Buddy Myer, though I know I had a good scan of a Riggs around somewhere. If anyone can think of a good new insert/chase card with a two-player action photo, that would about complete the list. Thanks again! |

At some point in the near future the catalog will be too thick to include everything, so a decision will have to be made as to where the "cut" is made. |

that was pretty much my point. at some point, probably in the near future, the big book will be too big and it will have to be broken up |

Unless something changes drastically in the hobby book market, don't look for the Standard Catalog to get much larger than the current 1,700+ pages. That's about all you can print and keep the price under $40. Until the card companies quit flooding the market with new stuff, cuts will have to be made. Look for modern "non-card" items to go first, along with one-card "sets," Broders, etc. The master plan is to migrate this type of collectible to the Standard Catalog of Sports Memorabilia; an every-other-year title. I've got a couple of other tricks up my sleeve but I don't want to tip off the competition. |

I very much like Scott's idea of having vintage multi-sports in one volume-- baseball, football, boxing, hockey, etc. |

What would really be nice is a "made to order" version of the SCD in which you could order sections of the book to fit your collecting needs...or if a company could ever figure out how to prevent electronic duplication, you could even order it over the web and download it. |

I hope I'm not too late. I'd like to nominate the R312 Vaughn/Wagner for the 1930s category. It shows Pirates Hall of Fame shortstop Arky Vaughn sliding into, and being tagged by, Pirates Hall of Fame shortstop Honus Wagner (then a coach). I believe a black & white version of the card is also available in the R311 leather series. |

Gee, I've found it three times now...the third time, admittedly, was much harder. I dislike locks, erasures, hidings, and other unnecessary rules and regulations. If there were no reason for my complaint, why not just let it stand and look ridiculous? |

...is to keep the forum cleaned-up. Communication is enhanced when all threads contain semi-relevant information, and when that information is posted accurately, author id'd, and in the proper spot. |

You never think my posts are relevent to ANYthing, so THAT'S no news! The reason my last post seems so irrelevant is that Bill erased 4 posts, one of his own, one of Bob Lemke's and two of mine that preceded it! |

I have to go with a T202 card all the center panels are great. I also vote for the Riggs card. %0's Card has to go to 56 Topps Billy Pierce #160, It shows a bunt being played, how often to we see that. The 56 set is full of great action in the background. |

I'm sorry. It's not important enough to keep FIGHTING about, --and for you to say it didn't exist, after I gave you the link, either. The link you just gave me is the same thread that "Jan 7, 2004, 5:47 P.M." gets you! For Bob to deny that he said it was sort of dumb, too--I mean, there it is! |
