The Ultimate Compilation of Baseball Card Sets

[tonyo]

I may have misunderstood the question.

Are you looking for a list of every set that exists (what I thought you were asking), or a list of every card that exists? If you want every card, I concur with Frank regarding SCD's std catalog and my spreadsheets won't help you there

Another good resource is www.teamsets4u.com. They have many (many, many) sets listed, and under each one there's a breakdown by team. Click on the "Team Set Checklist" button, then scroll down to the end of the page to see the lists by decade.

Several years ago there was a Yahoo groups for a baseball cards database (BBCDB). I found the database to be relatively complete and useful. It covers 15,130 sets (and individual cards) from 1867 (Troy Haymakers CdV's) through 2004. One nice feature was that the listings include the Layman Player ID number.

I still have a copy of this database if anyone is interested. I have the original distribution files (csv format if I remember correctly) but needs some understanding and work to make it useful. I also have an MS Access file where I built requisite tables and have some useful queries. Also, some version of this I have as a SAS database.
