Tell me about your favorite books relating to the T206 set

[paulcarek]

It's been mentioned in many threads here, but I really loved "Crazy '08."

Highly entertaining account of the '08 season. Technically not within the T206 time frame, but pretty much the same cast of characters.

there are a number of good books out there about key players and a couple of new books out which are helpful but nothing compares to Lipset's volume on T cards IMHO.
there's not a day goes by that i don't turn to it for something.

I bought all three volumes in one book on ebay several months ago. I think it was around $20-$25.

Mark Macrae is selling the Lipset book these days - at work so don't have his e-mail but someone can post it hopefully. I think he has it for $25 or $30-a real bargain.

i really enjoyed this book and my daughters bought it on Amazon.
The Encyclopdia's are classic and a must for collectors, too.
Good luck and enjoy your project.

"The T206 Collection - The Players and Their Stories", by Tom & Ellen Zuppala, is a decent reference tool.

Edit: "The Unforgettable Season", by G.H. Fleming, is another classic account of the 1908 season culled from newspaper stories of the day.

I recently read Ring's short story called "Horseshoes" , loved it and ordered the book from Amazon ..Very good writing and inside dope...Good Luck

I would also like to mention the audio version of Glory of Their Times.....it brings the listening experince to another level hearing the passion as they recite their stories. You can hear the passion they held for baseball. Both audio and printed portions contain parts of the "book" not available in each format. Some of my favorite "interviews" were with Goose Goslin, Hans Dobert and Jimmy Austin. The audio book is one of my favorite deadball books.

yanks if ya liked Horseshoes you should next read Alibi Ike.

"The Glory of their Times" is a must read for T206 collectors.

My favorite baseball books are "The Fireside Book of baseball" pick any volume you can find
