Default 'The Secret Lives of Baseball Cards'

Posted By: Hankron

I don't think such a book would be a best seller, because, as far as I've deduced, only about 10 people in the hobby own microscopes. I realize that most people viewing the pages because it's neat to look at things at a microscope-- which is fine. I get a kick out of looking at National Geographic atomic microscopic pictures of virusus, and have no intention of researching the subject further.

My in the future plan is to possibly (possibly not) expand it to a variety of interesting material, because one can do similar microscopic examination of everything from an original Pablo Picasso print to fake Rembrandt. Also, few people in the fine arts own microscopes, so it would be mostly be an online slideshow for entertainment purposes. I think even a baseball card collector might be interested to see what an original Picasso looks like at the microscopic level.
