Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>With my friend Steve....You need the Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards by Lew Lipset....very commonly found on ebay for about $25-$30......Also, you should pick up a copy of the 2007 Krause Baseball price guide.....with those 2 in hand you will be well on your way....and keep checking this site out. It's a terrific resource....as well as Scot Reader's work on the subject....He is a valued board member and you can download a copy, I believe.....good luck in the hunt and welcome aboard

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Those are good suggestions up there....<br /><br />1. Mr. Lipset's book. Fundamental. Indispensable.<br />2. 2007 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, it says Sports Collectors Digest on it and is published by Krause.<br />3. Scot Reader's work.<br />4. a copy of Mr. Heitman's, The Monster.<br />5. Watch what happens on eBay and this B/S/T area.<br />6. American Tobacco Cards, by Forbes & Mitchell, is worth having if you expand beyond baseball cards. <br /><br />Then from time to time chew through what you see on this board, spit out the chaff, swallow the rest. And sometimes some of my posts are chaff!<br /><br />Don't be shy about emailing someone here on the board if you have a question, or post on the board. Most of us folks here aren't as nasty as we seem.<br /><br /><br /><br />
