SABR reviving Baseball Card Committee
 

Please see below as noted on Mark Armour's FB Page:

So, Chris Dial and I have decided to revive SABR's Baseball Cards committee, to study, appreciate, and celebrate 150 years of the business/hobby. Any interest? (PLEASE TAG YOUR FRIENDS). This is open to all SABR members so I suggest you join SABR today if you haven't already. We all need some fun in our lives, don't we? (Expertise not required.)

Folks:

I guarantee you with Mark shepherding this, there will be some really good collection of already done research and some new research into the world of BB cards.

Regards
Rich

I know the post said the focus will be on 150 years of cards but I cannot help but wonder if the focus will be on pre-war or will it really be open to discussing and research on all years and issues. I would love to join something like this.

I cannot speak for what the focus will be. BUT, if you have pre-war insights to share, then by all means join so that voice can be heard and pre-war can be helped to receive it's proper due

Looks like an announcement has been posted: http://sabr.org/latest/interested-ba...arch-committee

I've signed up for updates from the committee, and I'm interested to see the research it will do.

I joined SABR this morning, so I'm interested. Hopefully I can turn some of the gibberish on my blog into useful information for the group.

Rich--Thank you for reviving the committee. I went to my SABR account, joined the group, and look forward to good discussion.

Jason--What is your blog address? I'd like to check it out.

Cheers,
Mike

I'm slowly fixing all of the broken images. When Google abandoned Picasa in favor of Google Photos I hadn't finished moving all my images, so lots of posts have broken image links.

I had no idea that SABR was located just down the street from where I work! Awesome!

I'm signing up now...

Thanks but I did NOT revive the committee.. The great Mark Armour did that! All I did was spread the work to friends via Facebook and via this board to help get the committee back in gear! Mark is a great leader for the group and is passionate about cards so the committee is in good hands!

Thanks for spreading the word about this Rich.

Just joined SABR and the announcement feed.

Don't get too excited. When the office was in Cleveland it had a nice library.but not much space. Not sure what Phoenix has to offer.
