The following book clearly is about photos, but has a fair amount of baseball card-related info, including postcards, cabinet cards, George Burke, Carl Horner cabinets, etc
Guide to Sports Photographs by David Rudd Cycleback (2008 Hamerweit Books)
The only thing is the book is going out of print before long, as all my photo books are being replaced by one general purpose photo book-- which will cover similar material but without the sports exclusive theme. There was duplication of material between books, and it seemed best to have just one. All my in print books (including the currently available sports book) are listed/linked at cycleback.com, and are available at amazon and barnes and noble. The sports photo book will be in print and availible for a while (the replacement book isn't finished and, even when finished, it takes a while before it comes to market), so it's not as if the Guide to Sports Photographs will disappear next week.
I am still a sports photographs fan, so the future 'unisex' book gives due coverage of sports. Off the top of my head, I know there are pictures and descriptions of a Joe Louis snapshot, Willie Mays wirephoto, a 1869 Cincinnati Reds CDV and the original art photo for a Exhibit boxing card. It's just the book will also pictures/descriptions of photos of Abe Lincoln, Clara Bow and Ronald Reagan.
