The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin & Company

[T3s]

Hi,

I've never really collected Old Judge cards, but I just have to say - "The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin & Company" is really a special book.

I'm not shilling for the authors or anything like that. I bought a copy a while back and it's basically sit on my shelf. However, every time I take a look at it I am amazed at the quality and detail given to its production. If you're a vintage card collector or vintage baseball fan and if you don't have a copy or haven't seen it, you're missing out.

Just my two cents.

Happy Collecting,
Craig

Agreed. I think it's the single greatest hobby book there is. Unbelievably well-done from start to finish.

This is hilarious. I was literally looking at buying a copy online about an hour ago.

Thanks Craig. It was a labor of love that is made all the more rewarding by comments like yours.

Yeah, the best thing about it is that I now don't need to collect OJs. I can just enjoy the book.

Nice post Craig. Without the book, I'd know very little about the cards. There are a few other resources on OJs but nothing even 10% of what the OJ bible offers.

Jay once told me how many were printed... I was surprised... If anyone is planning on getting one some day, the time is now. There really aren't that many of 'em.

Been thinking about it for a while now and just picked up my used, like new copy on Amazon today for $56 + $4 shipping (not sure how the shipping could be that cheap given how heavy the book is).
