Thanks everybody.....I just put bids on eBay on a couple of used books. Lew Lispetts and The T206 Collection; The players and their stories. Also ordered from amazon the latest issue of the standard catalog of vintage cards. I'm so happy to build an up to date library for my research. Thanks again !!!!!

Four books that are at the core of my baseball library have nothing to do with collecting. Instead they deal with the ancient players whose cards we collect. The SABR Deadball Stars volumes are choke full of short biographies, photos, rosters etc. There is also a 19th Century volume. The two Conlon photo books hold a museum's worth of exquisite baseball portraiture. Perusing the pages is 100% pure heroin to the deadball cardboard junkie. There are plenty other books that count as indispensable but my vote would be these four. Taken together they will bring your cards to life.

Deadball Stars
+1 for Kawika's endorsement of the SABR publications. You can find many if not all of the player profiles detailed on SABR's page. The bio's aren't overly detailed, often running 1+ pages, but they were helpful in getting a base understanding of the characters in a set.
