In case anyone's interested: My new column at Sports Collectors Daily

[drcy]

I remember reading Rich's column in Beckett years back. He was a hobby 'name' to me.

By sport and non-sport, I mean some subjects have crossover. News photos can apply to baseball and political subjects. The provenance article was a sport and non-sport subject, but most of the examples I used were sports related. It's a sports site, so I'm not going to write an article on Ming vases-- and not just because I know nothing about Ming vases.

I once joked that to change a guide on baseball photographs to a guide to football photographs you merely change the book pictures. And it's really not a joke. A cabinet card is a cabinet card and a tintype is a tintype.

Which reminds me of the joke about the successful antiques dealer who said several years earlier he wasn't making enough money running a junk store so changed it to an antiques store. "How'd you do that?," someone asked. "I changed the sign," he said.
