Got a copy of "Classic Baseball Cards: The Golden Years" by Slocum after several forum members recommended it- it's terrific. I managed to get one from Half.com for $50.

I also have picked up some old copies of the VCBC and now I understand forum members' enthusiasm for that, too.

Thanks, folks!

by Harold "Speed" Johnson - a must for your baseball library. Incredible book with great b&w portraits of all the current '33 players and a lot of the previous HOF'ers - it's over 500 pages. The next edition was 1935 or '36, and was much smaller and not near as nice. You can pick it up on ebay every now and then for about $200 in nice condition, or for $300+ through various internet booksellers. Check out the photos in this link and you'll understand why it's at the top of my list: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1821184953

...just keep looking. Most high-priced books show up cheap eventually.
