Early 80's there was a wire bound color glossy book of classic baseball cards - for some reason I think it said something like "by the Editors of the Consumer Reports" or something like that? Anyway, cards kind of spread around over a wooden background on all the pages. I remember seeing a 1955 Bowman wrapper in it and being captivated by it. Beautiful book and looking at all the tobacco and Goudey cards solidified my life-long interest in pre-war cards.
My brother ripped it up in a fit of teenage rage and it was gone forever. I look in all the used book stores, but have never found another copy. I'd give anything for a copy of that book again...
