Vintage Baseball Card Books - Help Me Add to the List Please

I cant believe the The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book has not been posted yet. While you wont learn allot about baseball card history, this book will certainly help deepen your love for this awesome hobby we all share. I would venture a guess that many of us here read this a time or a hundred when we were younger.

Goodnight Sibby Sisti wherever you are......

I bought the Great American book in 1975 in Gulfport, Mississippi. I have easily read it 250 times. Just a joy!

didn't know Alan Hager had died. He wrote an interesting EARLY coffee table book / price guide that was ahead of it's time - as were the prices His peeps would dress in suits and sell cards out of an attaché case along with the book.

Oooops. Hopefully for all Alan Hager is alive. I misread the post. I didn't know mr. mint had passed. His book Mr. Mint was mostly self-promoting.

I have a run of Old Cardboard magazines I would sell along with a few of the other books on your list including the Goodwin book...… Hopefully I will get a few on the BST by the end of this/next week.

Hagar's book was a glossy, misleading, self-promoting piece of junk, as was his card company, ACG, now thankfully gone by the wayside.
